Bob,

Here's a review of it

I remember looking at the predecessor (3800) and passing for a few reasons. First, for macro and closeups, the 3.6" minimum distance for zoom is kind of large. Also, it is a fully automatic camera- there will be times when you want to play with aperature/shutter/etc., and this camera won't allow it.

Personally, I'd pass on it. Even an old version of the Coolpix 4500, such as the Nikon 950 or 995 would probably be better- for coins, and general photography, too.
