Blank = Philadelphia
D = Denver
S = San Francisco

W is the monogram of the designer, A. A. Weinman. Mint marks were on the backs of most coins up till 1968 and in any case the West Point Mint didn't exist in 1942. Please see the Related Question.
The value of a 1942 Indian head dime, commonly known as the Mercury dime, typically ranges from $2 to $25, depending on its condition and mint mark. Dimes in better condition or those with rare mint marks can fetch higher prices. For precise valuation, it's best to consult a coin dealer or reference current numismatic guides.
Not sure what you are asking. If you want to know where the mint mark is found, it's on the back of the coin to the right of the word One in "One Dime". Coins without mint marks were made in Philadelphia; D = Denver, S = San Francisco. If you want to know its value, check out a guide such as http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/mrcdim/pricesgd.shtml
The value is $3 if it is in mint condition. $2 if circulated.
The mint mark on a Mercury dime is located on the reverse side, just to the right of the fasces (the bundle of rods) at the bottom. Mint marks for coins produced in Philadelphia are absent, while those from the Denver mint are marked with a "D," and those from the San Francisco mint have an "S." This placement helps collectors identify the origin of the coin.

The 'S' stands for the mintmark for the San Francisco mint.
Just spend it, the coin has no silver and is still in circulation.
That's not a mint mark. It's the monogram of the designer A.A. Weinmann. The West Point Mint did not open until the 1980s and only strikes commemorative coins and cents. Mercury dimes had their mint mark in the space to the right of the word ONE on the dime's back. For a 1942 dime it will either be blank (Phila.) or have a small "S" for San Francisco, or a "D" for Denver.
Such a coin does not exist. A "dime" is the slang term for a US 10 cent coin. The Royal Mint has never produced "dimes" or 10 cent coins.
