This is a good digital microscope that has a nice high quality digital image on the built in LCD screen. Having said that, it is not 1000x digital magnification. It is perhaps maximum of about 200x or so. The magnification is increased or decreased by adjusting the distance from the target on the included stand. Focus is manually adjusted via the adjustment knob/barrel on the body of the microscope. Brightness is fully adjustable via an adjuster on the side of the screen. Extra light if needed is supplied via two external bendable lights connected to the stand. In short for the money it's a good deal but to say 1000x is stretching the truth. I have still given it 5 stars because in every respect it is a nice instrument at its price point.
For coins it is more than adequate for variety searching and photographing. Images can be stored on the supplied 32 GB micro SD card.
I am happy with the purchase and think you probably would be too.

I got this to give as a present, so, outside of looking at it, I couldn't say if it works. But, I ordered it to arrive in one day, and it was promptly shipped on time. And looks to be in perfect condition. Very impressed!

This is better than I expected. Faced with sorting through 10,000 old pennies, this digital microscope was a life saver. It worked perfectly, and the value of just 3 coins I found more than paid for it. I could set the height (image size) and focus, then place each penny on the base. I could do a coin about every 2 seconds. The image is clear and sharp, and setting the height enables a full view of the coin. When I first plugged it in, Windows 10 found it and completed the setup automatically. But when I opened the Camera app, all I got was the laptop's built-in camera rear-facing image. I had to switch the camera to the front-facing image, then switch again to get the microscope's image. I can give this digital 'scope an unqualified recommendation.
