I sold my coin collection and am looking to sell my custom System-9 coin imaging system ($830 paid) built by Ray Parkhurst with a Rodenstock 75mm lens, fine focus stage, Quans lights (two extra with assemblies - $157 paid ) with smile director diffusers, backside clamp, and a Nikon F-mount. The system can be easily modified to change the camera mount to Canon or another camera brand. The 75mm lens gives a minimum mag of 0.33x. This will allow you to image up to 108x72mm. On the high mag side, the 75mm goes to ~2.5x. The system can be used to photograph raw and slabbed coins. With the backside clamp, GSA slab coins can be photographed with a camera and an appropriate lens (e.g., 24-70mm). I am selling the system for $500 with free shipping. The system is in excellent original condition. One of the Quans lights has a minor dent in the metal shade which doesn’t affect the functionality. Buyer can pay via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. I have a 100% positive rating on eBay (550 transactions). My eBay user name is mcurtis5484n. Please contact me if you have questions. To see Ray Parkhurst’s custom systems, go to www.macrocoins.com. I will include instructions on how to use the system that Ray Parkhurst emailed me.

Do you know the height of the column? I am looking for a ~24" column setup for use with longer focal lengths like the 105mm Nikon macro.
Do you have any sample coin images shot with this exact setup you could link?
The column height is 18”.
I don’t have any sample images. I deleted the images when I sold my coin collection. I switched from a Nikon D850 to a Nikon Z9, and the system has an F-mount which won’t work with my Z9. Thanks for the interest.
