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.
The coin is so common most are valued for the silver only at about $1.00

No rare 1941-S dimes. The 1941-S Mercury dime does have large and small mintmark varieties as do all coins (except the half dollar) that were struck in San Francisco in 1941, they have no added value.
