W mint mark

I know nothing about the W coins, but I have acquired two dimes with it. Please inform me whether they have any value at all.

That's not a Mint Mark..
It's the Designers Initials.
I believe it's W for Weinman

Yes Adolph.. Thanks Tommy

 

Adolf Weinman to be exact. paddy is correct. The W mintmark you may have heard of was on the Roosevelt dime and was for West Point.

 

Adolph Weinman (it's actually a stylized AW)

Thanks. Learn something new everyday. Is there a mint mark on these two dimes.?

 

Yes. The mint mark on ‘mercury’ dimes is on the bottom left of the reverse. Both of your coins have ‘D’ mint marks for the Denver mint.

Note: dimes minted in Philadelphia had no mint mark until the early 1980s.

 

Or to put it another way, since the early 1980's, all Philadelphia-made dimes have been "P"ed on. Either is believable.
