Coin High

If you are an avid coin collector it is vital you take proper care of your coins. There are numerous coin collection supplies you can purchase depending on what you are going to do with them and how you serious you are about your set. However, here are five pieces of supplies every passionate collector must possess.

1. Lighting

While a magnifying glass will allow you to see every little detail of your coins, next on your list of coin collection supplies to pick up is a quality light. An incandescent light of 75 watts or higher is recommended. In addition to a high powered light, you also want to make sure it is placed within half a meter of where you will look over your coins.

2. Magnifying glass

In order to properly examine the most minute details of your coins, it is vital you have a high-quality magnifying glass. For grading purposes your magnifier should have four to ten times magnification. However, on average seven times magnification will be fine. If you are going to be looking over smaller coins, a low power magnifier will be best to allow you to see any small imperfections.

3. Storage

Looking over your coins is one thing, but taking care of them while you are not looking at them is another. You want to make sure you have a good quality coin envelope, folder, or album of some sort. This will allow you to protect your coins from exposure to air so that you can preserve their value. In addition to having something to put them in, designate a specific place where you can store your coins as well.

4. Reference book

Having a general reference book on hand can help you identify information on dates, grading guidelines, and prices for your coins. By having the best reference book, you can stay up to date with all of the details you need to know in order to avoid making poor decisions with your collection. This way you can build a reputable library to perhaps profit from one day.

5. Journal

The last of the coin collection supplies you want to invest in is a journal. Having a journal can help you keep accurate records of your coins both for personal use and insurance purposes. Some things you may want to keep tabs on include the coin type, its denomination, date, and the coin's state of preservation.

Coin Magic $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Coin magic is a general term for magical performances employing one or more coins which are manipulated to deceive and baffle the audience. Because coins are small, much coin magic is considered closeup magic or table magic, as the audience must be close to the performer to see the effects. Though stage conjurers generally do not use coin effects, magicians sometimes perform coin manipulations on stage using large coins. In another type of performance setting, a closeup coin magician (or coin worker) will use a large video projector so the audience can scrutinize the magic. Coin magic is generally considered harder to master than other closeup techniques such as card magic, and is one of the least performed forms of conjuring. Coin magic requires great skill and grace to perform convincingly, and this takes a lot of practice to acquire. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Slug (Coin) $95.59 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A slug is a counterfeit coin that is used to make illegal purchases from a coinoperated device, such as a vending machine, pay phone, parking meter, transit farebox, copy machine, coin laundry, gaming machine, or arcade game. By resembling various features of a genuine coin, including the weight, size, and shape, a slug is designed to trick the machine into accepting it like a real coin. Though slug usage is a violation of the law (with the exact offense varying by country, usually considered to be counterfeiting and/or theft of services), prosecution for slug usage is rare due to the low value of the theft and the difficulty in identifying the offender. Offenders in casinos are most likely to be prosecuted, as casinos have high levels of video surveillance and other security measures, and are more proactive in enforcement.

Solidus (Coin) $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The solidus (the Latin word for solid) was originally a gold coin issued by the Romans, and a weight measure for gold more generally, corresponding to 4.5 grams.he solidus was first introduced by Diocletian around 301 CE, struck at 60 to the Roman pound of pure gold (c. 5.3g) and with an initial value equal to 1000 denarii. However, Diocletians solidus was only struck in small quantities, and thus had only minimal economic impact. The solidus was reintroduced by Constantine I in 312 CE, permanently replacing the aureus as the imperial gold coin of the Roman Empire. The solidus was struck at a rate of 72 from a Roman pound of pure gold, each coin weighing twentyfour Roman/Greek carats, or about 4.5 grams of gold per coin. By this time, the solidus was worth 275,000 increasingly debased denarii. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Coin Counterfeiting $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Coin counterfeiting occurs regularly in the antique coin market, but there are various modern forgeries that make it into general circulation. Counterfeit antique coins are generally made to a very high standard so that they can fool collectors; this is not easy and many coins still stand out. Counterfeit coins made to be of face value and destined for general circulation amongst the public have been made by criminals for hundreds of years. For modern coins destined for general circulation the most common method of protection from forgeries is the use of bimetallic coins which are made of two different metals that are both a different colour, which can make counterfeiting it very hard. The most common way of forging these coins is to change the area that should be a different colour by painting it, however the paint is often easy to scratch off and the coins will soon look very crude once worn.
