    As I am new to coin collecting, I've been searching for a place to buy coin supplies (mostly 2X2s).
    Unfortunately, here, in Israel, there are almost no coin shops, so I have to order online.
    I've found a few sites, and a few e-bay sellers that I wanted to order from, but the problem is that the shipment cost is too expensive.
    For a 30$ order, I need to pay 50$+ shipment.
    I've ordered products from the internet before, and often found sites with free shipment, however, I can't find any site that sell coin supplies with free or cheat shipment prices.

    Does anyone here know of such a site? or know of another way to get coin supplies?

    Thanks a lot :)

    I can usually find what I need at www.wizardcoinsupply.com. Their prices are very good and they have a good selection. I don't know what their shipping charges overseas would be, but UPS is usually the cheapest.:secret:

    Anyone else have any idea?

    Leuchtturm (called Lighthouse in the US) might be an option. This page http://www.leuchtturm.com/epages/le...htturm_eu/Categories/leuchtturm_international (in German) basically says "We are represented by distributors in the following countries", and in that list you find Israel too. Just send them an e-mail, and ask who to contact in Israel. Such local dealers may be a little more expensive than sellers elsewhere, but shipping is likely to be less. ;)

    Hello EranD, and welcome to the forum :)
    I have the same problem (no numismatics suppliers here). I usually buy large quantities to get a better value for the money on s&h.
