Are there any good coin scopes that are camera compatible that are not too expensive?

the scope I use is actually made for yungins it is a QX-5 and is made of plastic but it magnifies 10x,60x and 200x and hooks right to the computer and you can take a snap shot of anything under the scope and they sell for around50-80 bucks usually on eBay. Not sure if this will interest you but it is what I use myself and seems to do a good job when it comes to what it costs compared to the high end microscopes that hook to the PC

I have two of them both from eBay. but they can be had for under $200.00 and maybe $400.00 with a camera on them. if you decide to buy a good one I would suggest not getting into the higher magnification scopes. Coop can give you the info on a good scope for taking pic's. I can get good pic's with mine but mine starts at 10X and I think that is a bit too low for a good shot and 30x is too high. I think he has a 1.75 or something like that and he can get the complete coin in one shot where I can not.
here is the seller I use on eBay

good luck
