I have been contemplating buying a USB Microscope which I want to use to take pictures of full coins as well as parts of a coin. From reading different posts about it on the forum it appears to me that it is not possible to take pictures of full coins because USB microsocopes doesn't have a wide angle.

Does anyone know any USB Microscopes that will double up as a camera which I can take good full coin pictures too?

Thanks

I can take full coin pictures with my USB microscope by moving the camera away from the coin, then adjusting the focus.

Thanks Fuzzy317! What microscope do you use? Are the pictures as good as the ones taken with a camera?
