All Mercury dimes have the mintmark on the reverse and it will not be a "W". The letter you see on the obverse (front) of the coin is the designer's monogram AW for Adolph Weinman.
The 1943 Liberty Head Dime, also known as the Winged Head Dime or Mercury Dime, were only minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. What appears as a "W" on the right side of the left-facing profile bust of the goddess Liberty (obverse) is actually Adolph A. Weinman's monogrammed initials. The "W" is superimposed over the letter "A". This gives the appearance of a "W" when in fact it is just the designer's initials: "WA". The true mint mark is located on the reverse (fasces intertwined with an olive branch). The true mint mark is located after the word "ONE" in the word "ONE DIME" and the bottom leaf of the olive branch that intertwines around the fasces. The mint mark is either "D" for Denver, or "S" for San Francisco. There are no mint marks representing coins minted from Philadelphia. Any value for a Liberty Head Dime is dependent upon the grade, condition, and mint mark of the coin. Grades can range anywhere from Poor (1) to Mint State (70 being the highest).
About $1.50 at current silver prices.

Liberty dime could refer to either the Barber or Mercury dime. The mint mark on Barber dimes is located on the reverse (tails) side, right at the bottom. For Mercury dimes, it's also located on the reverse side, near the bottom, just to the right of the word "one."
