Hi all, I've been searching multiple threads on USB cameras and I've heard that many cameras don't work for larger coins.

I want the option of taking pictures of large coins (like the America the Beautiful 5 oz) as well as small coins.

I'm looking at these right now:

Plugable USB 2.0 Digital Microscope with Flexible Arm Observation Stand for Windows, Mac, Linux (2 MP, 250x Magnification)

Celestron 5 MP Handheld Digital Microscope Pro

But I can't find any information on whether they'll take nice pictures of large coins in the reviews or question/answer section.

Does anyone have experience with USB cameras and taking pictures of larger coins?

Thank you,

AC

I have the Plugable but the largest I've taken was about a 31mm coin. The 5oz ATB is ~70mm? Not sure if that would work well or not. Maybe someone has both and they can test

I have the Celestron 44302 and can fit a silver dollar no problem. I think I would use a point-n-shoot digital camera for anything larger.
