Unfortunately, since about the beginning of 2004, Nikon has significantly backed off on their production of "super macro" lenses for their CoolPix line. There are only one or two models that dip even close to the 1" focal range (the CoolPix 4800, most notably, has a 1/3" range), but those are either severely outdated or hampered by other defects that keep them from coming near the top of their class.
There are, however, options from other manufacturers. Most notably, Canon has recently come out with several models with a super macro mode that allows you to essentially touch the subject to the lens glass (for an effective 0" focal length). Models that make use of this capability include the S2 IS and S3 IS, which are pretty much top of the line in several other areas as well. The higher-end models in Canon's A-series (A700 and up) also offer an impressive macro mode at about 1/3" (1cm) focal range. The Sony CyberShot H2 and H5 also offer this functionality, well under the 1" range.
Hope this helps a bit!
