I am starting a new collection as I have just became a coin hunter. Any suggestions on what type of coin collecting books I should look for. Any suggestions on the supplies I need to become a serious coin collector.

Probably start with a RedBook for some general info. What series do you want to collect? I like Whitman albums; some prefer Dansco albums. maybe get an inexpensive 7x loupe, check Wizard coin supply for good prices.

I just recently got into collecting and I have a few things:

-The 2017 RedBook (inexpensive and packed with info)
-A PVC-free 3-ring binder with BWD 20-pocket pages (inexpensive) that hold 2x2 cardboard flips or 2x2 Saflips (more expensive)
-A Whitman Jefferson nickel album (for the circulation set I'm working on)

The albums are more expensive but a lot nicer. The folders are inexpensive. Both offer versions for coin types, date sets, etc.

I also have quite a few world coins so I got a used 20th-Century Krause Catalog that is also packed with info.

Start off with a Red Book, but don't pay the prices listed in it.

Angel and I would also recommend The Red Book.

There is a wealth of information packed between the covers.
Rest in Peace

In addition to what has already been said, if you're hunting through a lot of rolls, then you could be pulling out quite a few coins. I use the plastic tubes to store my extras and culls. I have round tubes because that's what I started out with 50 years ago. A lot of folks use the square tubes (they don't roll and the pack nicely into a box). I know Wizard Coin Supply has a bunch of coin tubes to choose from.
