I plan to stop at B&H photo in NY this week and from looking online I think I narrowed it down to 2.
Are these overkill for pics. of my coins and some ebay sales? From what I have read Bencher is a
very good brand and I would not have to worry about the camera/lens not being held securely
vertical to the platform.
My camera and lens weigh a little under 3 pounds . The lens is 100MM macro so I wanted a min.
of 36 inch column for full slab shots.

I'd be reluctant to go any higher than 36". If you use a 180mm macro, there might be a benefit to something 48" tall. However, I've found that with a heavy DSLR and heavy macro lens, the vibrations start to get slightly noticeable at 36", and this would increase on a 48" height.

I use a Beseler CS-14 and it is excellent choice although not cheap.
