<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 761668, member: 4552"]Your on the right track to start with the Red Book. Lots of info for now. And as already noted you could place coins in those 2x2 flips. As for magnification items, I suggest you just purchase a normal, cheap, every day magnifying glass from Walmart, Kmart, etc. </p><p>Way to many people run out and spend to much money and are really not sure that this is the hobby for them. Then too they look at the already investment money wise and start to think this is going to be to much and loose interest. With several cheap magnifying glasses your always safe to use them for many other purposes if you do loose interest in coins. </p><p>You should also check out Google for the locations of coin shows and coin stores. If there is a coin show in your area, attempt to go to those. Same with a local coin store. Not necessarily to purchase anything, but to really see what is what and how much some coins are worth and the availability of them. Also, coin shows, as a rule are the best and cheapest place to purchase coin books, those 2x2 flips, etc. </p><p>Also, for storage you may want to consider purchasing an Album for storage. If your interested on one type of coin, it is fun to attempt to fill one of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
