<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neptune, post: 540, member: 72&quot;]Well, I placed my first order with Amos Advantage. The prices didn&#039;t impress me much, but I figured it was better than searching around for each individual item, and they do have a good selection and decent shipping charges. Finding everything on eBay would have been lots of shipping charges, more time, more hassle, etc. - and the local coin shop is too high on their prices and limited selection. Much easier to shop online - doncha just love it!? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t wait to get order in. Of course I didn&#039;t get as much as I wanted, and ordered a few basic books which really zapped up my Total. Coin collecting is an expensive &quot;hobby&quot; - I may have to add it to my &quot;living expenses&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have to go find a 3 ring binder, because I was not going to pay their price for that --- guess I will head to Walmart. Somebody mentioned &quot;smell&quot; - but plastic smells. Most 3 ringers are made of some type plastic - any suggestions on this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I want to clean my coins before storing - no - not major cleaning - just a little wipe down with acetone in case there is any PVC, etc. on them. Because once they are in - they are in - I probably won&#039;t take them out before I die. LOL - Guess I have to write a note to put in book for that point in time warning children not to touch the coins. They are not coin collectors - except one. Guess I will put him in charge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to start another thread on cleaning - because I know there aren&#039;t enough of those already! &amp;lt;WINK&amp;gt;&nbsp; :wink: </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks everyone for your tips and pointers. OH, one last thing - I have found a few of my coins that were in 2 x 2&#039;s and the staple has rusted and caused coin damage. These were purchased like this --- just wanted to warn you. Staples rust and ruin. They are in some teabags too, so don&#039;t nuke your teabags. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Any herbal tea drinkers out there? (OK I am getting off topic.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
