Hi Dar,
The AmScope trinocular stereoscope I purchased was a great buy. Everything needed came with it for viewing nice crisp views of my coins. Neatly, individually and securely packaged. Simple assembly and you are ready for many late nights of observation. Great quality product.
If you are planning to use your DSLR with it, you'll need the appropriate adapter for your camera depending its brand. AmScope can provide those too. I followed the advice of many fine and extremely knowledgable folks on this forum and purchased a set of Jansjo lights ($10 at IKEA) for more than enough and easily adjustable lighting. Getting the lighting right for photos is tricky and takes some experimenting.
Anyway, extremely happy with the my AmScope.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
