How good is this for capturing pictures of coins ?

It works good on 60×. The picture and focus is not the best, but I use mine for vamming Morgan silver dollars. I bought mine elsewhere for cheaper.

I was showing my granddaughter how to use my Digital Blue and she wanted to see a new nickel.At 10x she could see most of Jefferson's face, at 60x his eye and at 200x the pupil of his eye. With the lighting choices (bottom and/or top) I thought it was good for opaque items like a coin or a rock.

What you do is use it as a camera and take a picture. I twill save as a jpg. It is useful for larger documents.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

I use it for taking pictures of rescue dogs. I like it because it gives a smooth background. I don't know how to attach photos here but will be glad to email some to you.

No this is a very good picture maker. The only negatives I can find is that the ink cartridge does not last as long as it says. Some say 100 pictures but you will only get about 85 some say 50 pics but you only get about 40. Otherwise this thing will do whatever you need within reason.

I'd say it's good for either. I had a small crack in the machine when I received it and they wanted pictures. I didn't take any and just said keep and try. :) Boy was I happy. This machine is great! I'd say yes go for it now!!

I do not know what you are looking for as a coin collector. I collect ancient jade pieces. I use it to look at cut marks on the stone. It is so clear I can even see the polishing marks left behind on the surface. One good thing about this magnifier is the LED and the lens focus at the same point making what you want to see bright and clear.

It has a magnet on the tip. I don't know if that will work on coins. Should pick up paper money ok.

Thanks, Spanky, for the info. The camera arrived the other day and it's awesome. As a matter of fact, I took some closeup shots this morning of a silver dollar, with the camera mounted on a minipod and room lighting. They turned out great. BTW, I used the iA setting.

Yes it will work for that. I use it to look at coin dates and detail and also to see if jewelry is 14 k or sterling silver.

It works pretty good for things that are close to the camera. Its worth the money tho!

Great, Thank you for your kind acknowledgement, do yourself a favor, don't try to save few bucks on the piece of equipment, as it WILL hamper your creative possibilities, trust me! I AM your OLDER gentleman, who happens to know a thing or two about taking a decent picture!

It has proved to be really effective and useful. I photograph jewelry and I only have an OK camera and the photos come out great. I have never tried using my iPhone to take pics. I do t think you will be disappointed. Pretty simple set up but it works.

I bought this specifically for making coin rings. It will cut through a modern, harder coin in a few good whacks, and a US penny, nickel and quarter will fit between the plastic guide and the die itself. Nickels are too small, quarters are just right for most mens hands. I've seen half dollars used, too. Should work even better on silver coins, since they are softer. It can be tricky lining it up just right, but before you punch you can check carefully if you are centered.
