Believe it or not I'm doing everything with my iphone. I've got one of those "over the phone lens" that has both micro and macro lens'. I get the best focused picture taken then use the iPhone's capability to zoom in, then I take a "screen shot" and viola, a perfect shot. Most of my pics are the same picture just zoomed over and over. Simple, quick and uploadable immediately.
So time me: from this posted time I'll take pics of my lens, zoom in on the same picture in different spots and the post. Look at how fast it is.

Putting the lens over the iphone one directions give me a no benefit fish eye...turning it over gives me the micro lens.

It's quick enough too, just for examining coins. You can take several photos of multiple coins all at once, blow them up and see way more than a magnifying glass...then delete them. No harm no foul.

Wait, can you post the steps for me? I just got those clip on lens. Those look amazing for a phone. Can you give me a brief order of steps to use? No need to explain each step in detail, just what to do - in order.
It would be much appreciated, AMB!

Sure: make sure you've got the micro lens and get as close as possible to the coin as long as the picture is completely clear. Snap your picture. Then open the image on your iphone and use your fingers to zoom in. At that zoomed position push the home button and sleep button at the same time. That will take a new picture of your screen at that zoomed level. That new picture will be on your "camera roll". Find it and zoom in again if you need too and repeat the process. Let me know if that works or if you need help.

Nice tip AMB! Nice quality shots.
Looks like worn MD specimen but as noted, the MD is rather extreme. I would save that one for sure!
