What do you use to take your coin pictures ?

I have a beat-up Intel QX3 that is about to get canned. I've seen a lot of really nice pic's on threads here.

What do you use to take your pictures? Could I find one on ebay? Overstock? Are they still made?

I want to be able to fit an entire silver dollar in one picture - impossible with what I have now. Thanks!

The best setups are SLRs with 100-105mm Macro Lenses on Copy Stands, in my opinion.

K6AZ had some good advice, as have others....do searches for the title and or author and you will find a slew of good advice (I don't take good pictures so I defer the advice to others to give)

I use an old mercury film based edison but you have to make the coin sit still for at least 5 min.

I have a Nikon Coolpix, copy stand, and two Ottlites. I've been very lazy as of late as far as taking photos is concerned.
