Take the small magnifying glass out of an old laser pointer that I had laying around, held it in place with a bobby pin, and taped it down over the iPhone camera. Wow such detail! I strongly recommend trying this to coin collectors, jewelry specialists, and anybody with an iPhone and curiosity haha. Here are some great pics that I got (:

That's a pretty good idea.. I think a jeweler's loupe is a bit easier to manage though.. The easiest is to just have a camera with macro of course

I bought some lenses for an Apple including a macro on Nomorerack.com for a very reasonable price and free shipping.
