EDIT: Forgot.. thanks CoinHunter27 and Rookie2018  I use he Opti-TekScope Model OT-HD usb Microscope.  When space allows, I bounce light off glass.. it is called axial lighting:  Can not use this method to take close ups because there is not enough space between the scope and the coin. Also, as you can see I use alternate lighting. I keep the 8 LEDs on the scope turned off.

The light angle could be improved. More it a little closer to point it downwards a bit more. the will light the images better.  If the light is too bright you might try bond paper to reduce the glare diffusing a bit. I usually use it not so close to the bulb. You don't want it to catch fire:  But if you bulb is not hot, then that might not be an issue.

@CoinHunter27,
Oh yeah... the Big One, FS-801, would be a great one to find, lots of split serifs.
