Nice. I've been playing with a Nikon V1 and low-powered microscope for
a trifle closer look:

Pretty decent. I've been using a macro lens on a cannon

On a Cannon? You must get shots of the highest caliber!

As a Nikon user, I've always felt a bit of envy over Canon's
65mm MP-E lens, but for most coins, an "ordinary macro" lens
works just fine. Here are a couple of shots done with a
Nikon 105mm VR (resized down from 4800x4800 pixels).
