Is there a commercial product available for coin photography?

Maybe stupid question, but Googling "light stand" doesn't do it.
I'm looking for a setup to do away with the reflection of the camera in the coin surface. I ...imagine... only light from the side/s would do what I want.
If I get close enough to fill the viewfinder, the lens shows on any proof coin.

Thank ya.
And I see an even BETTER ONE on same site. With lights. Unless there's a CHEAPIE way out of the lighting problem.
????????
1. Black camera helps, black out white letters with a sharpie.
2. Use as much zoom as your camera will let you while keeping a good focus.
3. Get macro lens attachment for camera. Will help ghet camera farther away.
4. Get an SLR with a longer lens.
GOTTA be a CHEAP way. Shoebox, pinhole, clothespin film..... like that.
The solution is simple, don't do that.

I've removed the lights due to the off coloration they give the pic. I find that
my desk lamp (neon tubes) with the overhead light off, does best. I do take
the stand outside for excellent results in the sun and shade. The stand seems
quite sturdy as I've been using mine for over a year without problem. Good luck

PS: The lights are just perfect for keeping my tomatoes warm on cold nights, so
I guess I do use them!
BIN @ $59.95 with lights or $29.95 without lights...
