I think this might be the one Steph mentioned in my What Microscope Do You Use? thread.

Yes, I have one. It is made by Dino-Lite. More info available at www.BigC.com. If you do a search on this forum for Dino-Lite you will find that we went through a phase where many forum members bought these.

it works pretty well but is only good for close ups and not easy to get a full coin pic.

I'd love to know this, too. I like using coin microscopes for closeups and checking for varieties. It would be nice if they could make one that wasn't ridiculously expensive that could image an entire coin.

Sorry, it all comes down to optics and their limitations, Mark would better explain this than I.

I have seen some forum members post usable full coin pics using the dino-lite but no where near as nice as a good digital camera.

The digital microscopes do a decent job for looking at fine details/die varieties and taking snapshots of such. There is only so much you can do for that price with tiny optics and a tiny detector. A digital camera is a much better idea for whole coin pics.
