Ok, my first ever Merc, plus some recyclable metals came from South East St. near downtown Raleigh NC. this AM.

There`s a W on the obverse / front side of this coin.
Does any one know if this is West Point NY. a Mint Mark or the designers name?

A book i have says the Mint Mark should be located to the left of the metal rods on the reverse / back side of the coin, i see nothing there.

The second pic includes a 1939 dime / the one on the right i found this afternoon at an old hotel location next to Capitol Blvd. near the 540 beltline with no apparent Mint mark.

Sounds like you need a "Red Book" published by Whitman. They are only about $15. Looks like you will need it. Congratulations on some firsts!
