A good jewelers saw is essential. It should be balanced and have a forged frame that is ridged enough to hold the blade without allowing it to twist. As for blades the Swiss make the best jewelers blades. The Chinese and Indian stock are terrible they will rip the metal and not cut smoothly they will be overly brittle and break. we are not Talking a fortune here $20 as apposed to $10 for a saw and $40 as apposed to $8 for a gross of blades. If you really want to get into the hobby of cutting coins then get the correct tools please or you will either have a long uphill struggle and end up buying two sets or get disillusioned and quit.
