    Lighthouse Phonescope Macro Lens for Smartphones and iPhone - Wizard Coin Supply

    I've never used this product so I'm not endorsing it... but I just happened to run across this on Wizard Coin Supply and the price is reasonable at $22.09. I have purchased many things from Wizard and have never had any problems.

    The Lighthouse Phonescope slips over the camera lens on smartphones and turns your smartphone into a powerful digital microscope. Simply clip it onto your smartphone (it easily slides on and off). It will not scratch the smartphone display. In place, it instantly captures high quality images and videos using the camera system in your smartphone. Take large close-up photos of coin details using this lens and your smartphone. The precision macro lens has up to 60x magnification. It works with iPhones and virtually all other smartphones. It also works well as a reading aid. No batteries required.

    That's where I bought coin holders from. They have a beautiful website. And they ship very fast, and well packaged.

      Usually the challenge with smartphone macro shots, and add-ons like this, is lighting. They show a light dome that is attached, but usually domes like this give very poor lighting. But for the price it might be worth a try.

        Viv, I like wizardcoinsupply. I looked at the link you have, and it seems to me that the lens opening is a bit small. Also, there is no illumination provided.
        I bought this item from ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/60x-Jewelle...g5HW:rk:5:pf:0

        Has a violet and also a clear type led on the side. The opening of the lens is appx. 1cm. I can use it without the clip as well. For example, I can see the word 'LIBER' complete, and can tilt my head right to see the rest of the letters, if using the item by itself.
        If on the phone, I just move the coin (which I placed on a cardboard holder)
