1943 Walker question

[PanManStan]

I found a 1943 Walker today. And the mint mark is a "W". I cant find any info on this. Can any help?

could you post a pic? since the designers name was Adolph A. Weinman i would imagine it is his initial but from what i can see there should also be an A.A. in front of that W. there has never been an american mintmark "W" so i am sure it is at least part of the designers initial. kind of like the "W" on a merc dime.

Made a mistake. The W isn't a mint mark. It's in the lower right.

The mintmark on a 1943 Walker is near the rim below the branch on the reverse.

the W was the inital of the person who came up with the design of the coin
