I know you want trades, but I also wanted to offer this solution for you.

 

For $250 you can get a practically brand new macro lens that will work great on your D90.

 

Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF

 

I own and have used the same lens for all my coin photos.

If you want to see the quality of the shots it takes using a D70 and D7000, see my website gallery:

I'd highly recommend getting a 100mm+ macro lens. I use a Sigma 150mm for all of my imaging. Here's a coin I imaged yesterday.

Good luck with the lens hunt!
