Computer microscopes for coins??

[VTACE250]

Anybody know a good one for photographing coins up close? I bought one recently and it was horrible...wouldn't focus correctly..couldn't get pic of whole coin. My digital camera won't catch detail. Thought it might be easier with a USB microscope so that I can post finds here.

I was looking at them myself. I started using my eye loupe with the camera on my phone.

Here's a few pics taken in low light.. I didn't get a chance to crop the yet.

I have the Celestron usb digital microscope. I get good results with it. I stand the microscope stand on top of a couple of CD cases until the whole coin comes into the picture. Then I focus it. Here's a couple of examples. These weren't the best examples but you get the picture.
