I have been using a Cannon Powershot SD1000 with some success; Although I don't have a proper frame. I have been using two table lamps placed on their side near the subject using CFLs as a light source. When I take the picture, I get a very dark picture. I then use my photo editing software to bring the exposure up to just about maximum and this gives me a great picture of the coin. I seems to work whether the coin is in a 2x2 holder or not.
By the way, on the camera I have a manual Macro option that I use, I just need to remember to put the camera back to auto for my wife
Hope this works for someone

It seems to, not a big fan of the shadows it casts over the coin, but until I figure something better out, it is dirt cheap!! More money for coins!!
