    I saw your headline before you edited it, and I'll assume you prefer the edited version. But if you can give us any more particular info about the collector you're supporting, we may be able to be more helpful.

    And if you want some really really fun reading try to find some used copies of Bowers' Companion books. Unfortunately they are out of print. :(

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    What is your goal with these books? Are you a new collector looking to learn about collecting, the hobby, or grading? Are you an experienced collector looking to learn about a particular series?

    There are thousands of coin books, and many of them are really good - but I need a little bit more information to help you.

    Also, what supplies are you talking about? We can help with some great recommendations on websites to go look for certain things at really good prices. We just need to know what area you are looking for.

    JC's Corner is my go-to for supplies. Prices are competitive and they ship super fast. http://www.jpscorner.com/

    I'm still looking for a company that carries "all" the coin related books, though.

    I asked for a box of these for Christmas, sized for Morgan Dollars. I have a few that I want to have protected/displayed that are not worth a whole lot but have sentimental value. I'll be trying them out later today so I can give you more information then but they appear to be very nice. I would recommend them so far. I'm sure others have had experience with them. Lighthouse slabs they are called.

    Was your son just born recently, or is he old enough for you to be able to share the hobby with him?

    The Whitman "Red Books" for individual series are good. They also make the plastic, snap-together 2x2s. In addition to the Lighthouse/Leuchtturm slabs above, Amos Hobby makes slab-type holders. Eagle coin albums are available that hold 9 slabs on a page. I'm not sure what kind of album accommodates the snap-together 2x2s.

    What is this Fry's? Are they part of Kroger?

    No -- I was confused, too, the first time I saw Fry's on a list of Kroger-related brands. Fry's Electronics isn't related to Fry's Food and Drug (the Kroger subsidiary), but their logos are nearly indistinguishable.
