I did find the flexible arm too short and a bit awkward for coins larger than a Nickel, especially to keep parallel to the base. You'll definitely want to get an inexpensive bubble level to set on top to check (got one thru Home Depot for $2.36). For about $5 I made a nice, adjustable stand from parts I got at HD.
