Hello Fellow Coin Talkers! :smile:I need help. My grandpa is paying me 20.00 Dollars for allowance. He is paying me in rolls of cents which I will cherrypick, then dump them in a coinstar for an amzon gift card. So I will have about $20.00-$25.00 on my amazon acount...I have been working on a wish list for a while now but now that I actually have some money, I need to figure out what I want to get....I have made a list of stuff(please not this is not all of my wishlist) that I can get with my price range...I plan to combine some stuff because I have lots of little wishes! :smile: 1.ANA Grading Standards Book $14.53 2. 1 Pair of white cotton gloves to handle coins $5.90 3. Dansco Album: Lincoln Memorial Cents Album $22.49 4. 20- BCW Pro- Pocket Coin Storage Page $7.62 5. Nic-A-Date- Nickel Date Restorer $8.49 Any other Coin suplies on amazon Thanks everybody...
Do you have a magnifying glass, loupe, or anything to help with your cherrypicking? Also, if you save a few bucks from that allowance, you can always head to the bank every few days and change out for a few new rolls of cents to go through!
yeah....I am 13 though and my moms bank is keypoint credit union and I dontthink the have coins rolls...can I go to a bank I dont have an acoun at? Yes I have a mag and a loupe
You can also buy coins through Amazon, although the prices are not the best. Check category called Everything Else. TC
Yeah, most banks should easily have a few rolls of pennies on them at any given time, and shouldn't have any issue trading them for your cash - even without being a member there. Especially if you give them a nice 13-year old coin collector story, haha, the tellers should eat that up!
One pair for $5.90? You can get a dozen pairs for $9.95 from JP's Corner. Be aware that any cotton glove will turn black from handling coins. It is possible to wash them for reuse but don't use fabric softener in the washer or dryer. Chris http://www.jpscorner.com/Cleaning_Supplies.htm#Cotton_Gloves
Whichever item(s) you decide on, be sure to spend at least $25 as more times than not, shipping will be free. My recommendation would be to get the ANA Grading Standards book and something else to get the total to $25. -LTB
