thanks bobbyhelmet.

Hey Mint_marq, could you post some pics of whole coins, half and a copper cent when you get yours. Now I'm really interested too.

Hey it is me Jackool... For some reason my account won't let me in anymore.

Mint_Marq... WOW That is cheap. I am really impressed.

Deadmunny... Sorry mate, I don't have those coin types in my collection. But taking pictures of large coins like Aussie Pennies you have to purch the cam' about 6 inches above the coin. But the pictures I have managed to take from distances like that are really basic. (See Below - although shrunken in size/quality to fit the kb cap)
Bobbyhelmet has taken some nice shots of a smaller coin, and they have come out great.
Oh and Bobby, I had the exact same "issue" with the lens cap. I felt like a twit.

This is one of my efforts:
2mp-USB-Microscope-Camera-For-$89

There you go

As promised, I am checking in with my review. I have played with it 2 times so far, but I think for the use of taking a picture of a whole coin, it may be a little impractical. For close ups of dates or errors it is great.

This looks terrific for a rookie who is testing, testing, testing ... do you have any experience converting existing microscopes with a digital camera ? Something that simply attaches to the eyepiece ?

There are many different adapters made for this specific purpose. It will depend on what you already have for a camera and microscope. Here's an example:

Don't look at those prices, by the way - I posted the link just as an example of what people are doing. You can find adapters for considerably less.
