Help Newbie Create/Expand Supply List

I too think you should take your time about purchasing to many and/or expensive items. My reasoning is I've seen to many people run out and purchase a lot of stuff for a hobby and then loose interest in it. Then all that money is just lost. For a magnifing glass, just go to Walmart and buy a variety of them. Usually in the school supply area. Also, I've seen many at flea markets. With a large variety of sizes and powers you can make your own decision on what you like and can or want to use.
Check out that place called Wizard coin supply for many items too. For coin books, go to the Whitman Web site and request a catalog. They will send you one with about 90 pages of things available. Also, on their web site you will see a massive amount of books that they publish and you can decide which ones you may want. One bit of warning though is not to purchase direct from them since they mainly deal with bulk sales so their sales to you are rather expensive. Try Amazon for many of their items.
