[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 8303, member: 487"]This question is asked so frequently I thought that I should start a thread to get some good answers. Too frequently, collectors skimp on their supplies. Why? I have customers that will spend thousands on a single coin, but won't spend $30 on a good loupe. Others have 100,000 dollars of coins in a $400 safe. How many of you have seen rare and valuable coins in a 2x2? The point of this topic is to pass along a little insight. Your supplies should be bought with the same consideration that you place into your collection. You would not buy cheap coins, why buy cheap supplies? Even if you coins are only in the $2 a piece range, they aren't really cheap. Think about it. If you spent $2 on a Cent, that doesn't exactly equal cheap does it? While your coins may not be rarities or worth thousands of dollars, it is still hard earned money spent. Why not protect them with good supplies? Now I don't and would not recommend spending money on the best holders available for all your coins, but your money well spent will only help you to protect your investment.[/QUOTE]
