I don't think I've ever seen a cent with a W. I believe they had no mintmark, and AFAIK, there is no way to tell a "West Point" cent from a "Philadelphia" one. take care, Scott

I don't think I've ever seen a cent with a W. From http://www.us-coin-values-advisor.co...oint-mint.html : "In the 1970s, a severe shortage of one cent coins caused Treasury officials to look to West Point as an alternative to boost penny production. On August 1, 1974, the Depository began minting Lincoln cents. These coins bore no mintmark, and were therefore indistinguishable from those made at the Philadelphia Mint." Hope that helps you, Yes, Thank you.
