I managed to get me a merc and barber dime today, it's called persistence in that place.

Forgive the ignorance of this question. But what are "O" mint marks?

I use a Sony DSC-H50 camera (not made anymore) on a tripod with manual settings without the flash always for the closeups. I have always like this camera cause it has the auto macro in it plus fully auto or manual. It's not a true SLR (single lens reflex) however it's about as close to one as you can get. I'd love to get me a nice new SLR but man are they pricey.
