<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 511855, member: 3726"]Cybershot H50 is the camera I used. I found that putting the coin about 1 foot away from the lens, zooming to 3.0(no more), use a natural light and then click away. In this case I took the cover off the light - I saw where someone else did this and they had really good pictures. Now the funny thing is I found that after I zoom the picture can be fuzzy, but by holding the picture button it will focus just fine. I also found if I put the camera any closer to the coin the light gets blocked. So far I think these are some of the best pictures I have taken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes - they are a O-106 for 1822 and O-101 for the 1830. Thanks for all the comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
