Pocket size coin collecting kit.

I put this kit together because I didn't have a good way to transport coins I find at work.
I used a case for a deck of cards, and put a microfiber eyeglass cleaning cloth (to fold coins into), a cotton glove, and key date cheat sheets (cent, dime, and nickel) in it. I'm considering putting in a small magnet and a silver dollar 2X2 in as-well. Everything folds up nicely and fit's in a pocket. What do you guys think?

I like it! If I had a job where I came in contact with large numbers of coins every day, I'd stick one of these set-ups in my glove compartment in my car. Looks great, very compact. I'd even throw in a small loupe if it fits.

 

Very Cool! When I run across wheaties, or silver coins @ work, I toss them in my shirt pocket until I get home!

I have a loupe that is in it's own case. That I put in a different pocket.

 

I was doing that but was worried about the coins damaging each other. Since I found a MS65 1939D Jefferson at work before.

 

Market that!

 

I'll have to see what I can do about that.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell a pile of these for $5 each at a coin show.

 

Nice

 

I decided to add the magnet and the large dollar 2X2. (I figure the it can fit anything I find.)

 

Very marketable...sell it?

 

This is a noob question but is there a place to find a key date cheat sheet?

 

I just made them up to fit the case from list's on-line. you can make one up any size you want.

 

I agree. Cool idea. I will start looking for something like this. I keep a loop in the car, but that is about it. It is a handy place and I have used it a number of times.

 

Cool idea! Something like a "first aid kit" for the coin collector!

 

very nice

 

Kit looks good but I wanted to ask what the magnet is for? Aren't most coins made of non magnetic metals?

 

GREAT idea! Take it to HSN or one of those, could be your golden ticket!

 

Yes they are. But that's the point. To identify steel war cents, world coins, fakes, etc...
