Hi, I'm new to the forums, I apologize if a similar thread has been made or if this is in the wrong section, But I was wondering where I might find common supplies most coin collectors use.
What I'm trying desperately to find right now is a magnifying glass that can help me search Lincoln pennies and other coins, That can fit on a key chain. I wanted to know if common everyday stores (Such as
Wal-mart for example) would carry one, and if so, Which isle might be the best.
I was also trying to find cleaning solution for the coins I have come into possession, But I was clueless as to where to look for it, I have also heard that store-brand coin cleaning solution is expensive, But I have never heard what the common price for it is.
Lastly, I was wondering where I might find any sort of coin protecting sleeve, But designed for an individual coin.
Really I'm just looking for the basic must-have nesscessities that I'm sure 98% of the forum already has, But I'm clueless as to where to find them. (Mainly that key-chain magnifiying glass
)
Help on any of the above would greatly be appreciated, I have just started collecting coins, And my family has a collection of Lincoln pennies (Some of which are wheat cents) that have been handed down, And the local coin store oddly sells very large bags of random coins, Some of which date back to the 1800s, For around 19 dollars or so, These two factors are what really pushed me into coin collecting.
