Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you need to have the right coin collecting equipment to keep your collection safe and secure. Aside from the standard coin holders, you’ll need to have lighting, a good magnifier, and other tools to help you organize your coins. These tools can make your job easier.
The first coin collecting equipment you should have is safe coin storage. These boxes, jars, and envelopes are the easiest way to organize your coins. However, if you plan to store precious coins, you might want to consider investing in more robust boxes.
There are two types of magnifiers you can use. First, you can use a hand-held magnifier, which has magnification power between 2X and 3X. This type of magnifier is easy to carry and can help you view the beauty of a coin. The second type of magnifier is the jeweler’s loupe, which has magnification power of 10X to 15X.
If you’re serious about coin collecting, you’ll need to buy a coin grade assessment microscope. These microscopes can help you determine if your coins are real or fake. They also help you find out if coins are mint condition or not. You can use the zoom feature on these microscopes to look at any part of a coin at any magnification.
You also need a coin reference book. A good book has grading guidelines and information about coins. Moreover, you’ll need a journal to track your collection. Keeping a journal is a great way to document your coin collecting interests.
