What is the value of a 1916 w . dime?

The "W" you see is not the mintmark, it is instead the designer's initials. Rather, the mintmark (if any) is found on the reverse of the coin after the "E" in "ONE DIME". If your coin has no mintmark, or an "S" mintmark, it is a common coin that unless in really great condition, generally sells for about $3 or so. On the other hand, if you have a "D" mintmark, you have an exceedingly rare coin worth several hundred dollars even in the worst condition.
