Best Answer

On a US coin it's the mint mark of the West Point Mint. Normally West Point only manufactures special collectors' coins such as commemoratives and bullion pieces, but in 1996 it struck Roosevelt dimes for the coin's 50th anniversary.

Be careful to distinguish the W mint mark from the same letter on Mercury dimes and Walking Liberty halves. On these coins it's the monogram of their designer, A. A. Weinman. In any case they were struck decades before the West Point Mint was opened.
