Sent to the seller: --- The "W" [ actually an "A/W") on the obverse is the designer's initials: Adolph Alexander Weinman and not a West Point Mintmark. Just a thought. --- Gang, a laugh is a laugh but isn't education what the CCF is about? I try not to forget that. So I educated the seller. Many sellers appreciate the information. |

OH, NO. Someone found a AW Mercury dime. That was a "Almost WestPoint" coin. |

This was only intended for entertainment..nothing more.
Good on you matthewvincent. He has 4 others he's calling W's as well.
The CCF first and foremost is about education...glad you informed him.

Thanks vermontensium. I refrained from sending the seller a link to this topic. Perhaps that is to be done only when the seller is trying to pull a fast one.* The prices that he/she is asking are not an indication of fraud, but only of being uninformed. *Although in the future, 'shame' can be used as a tool. now...I have a Mercury dime that my uncle carried in his pocket when he was at West Point. Perhaps...oh, never mind. |

Shame is a viable tool but you gotta stare hard in the mirror for a while before deciding to use it. Meanwhile, I think this one used to be a button.

The seller responded:
"Thank you! I learn something new every day! :) Chuck"

Matthewvincent, great job rising above the tide and rather than just bully the seller with negative humor actually contacting him for educational insight.
