Thanks!

Re: Camera and magnification setup
That's a good question. It requires a interest, desire and skillset beyond numismatics. The best numismatic macro photos I have were taken with a ink pen and check paid to the order of @messydesk
Re: Camera and magnification setup
Are you talking about microscope close-ups or full coin pictures? I'm using two entirely different setups for these. Full-coin setup is optimized for quality, microscope optimized for workflow.

This is my setup: Nikon DSLR, 60MM micro lens, 2 extension tubes, excellent copy stand, cable release, RAW file sizes setting, mirror up setting, Photoshop. I get about 4x lifesize at closest focus point.

And if I may add Dennis takes excellent Pictures . If you would like the run down on how to do it on a budget please watch Messydesk's presentation that he shared on here a while back /https://archive.org/details/FUN11010
