Hello I can’t tell if the mint mark is a W and is it worth anything?

Hello, It’s actually not a mint mark, but a very prominent display of the designer’s initials - Adolph A. Weinman. If you look closer, what looks like the letter W has an A in it. The mint mark on the Mercury Dime is located on the reverse to the left of the fasces and to the right of the ‘E’ in ONE.

Just whatever melt is and that's less than $2, the coin is in bad shape.
