<p>[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 761160, member: 17502"]First I would recommend a bit of research, the best way to start is with the book A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman. For under $20 you can own the complete history of US coins. The prices in this book are not gospel. In fact in many cases they are way off. But the information about each issue, and mintages, grading hints, major errors/varieties all will help you in searching rolls. All this info is in there but ya gotta read the whole book. :smile</p><p> </p><p>On the loupe, I would recommend a in person, hands on test. You want to have a good field of view of a coin, I'm going to say about a 10x should do you fine.</p><p> </p><p>For coin storage go with the cardboard flips. Just fold over and staple. This will give your coins some protection until you decide on albums or other methods.</p><p> </p><p>Have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
