Sometimes just building a coin collection can be hard enough, you do not have to worry about picking the wrong coin supplies. We genuinely care about the safety and security of your coin collections. All of our coin collecting supplies are selected only after we determine that they will be able to safely and securely store any coin for many years.
We carry top of the line coin supply products such as air-tites, cardboard coin holders, coin albums, coin folders, coin storage boxes, coin cleaning supplies, coin display cases, coin magnifiers, coin maps, coin slabs, and coin tubes as well as a great line of currency supplies. These coin holders and collecting supplies make it easy to organize and display your coins.
To properly view coins, you will likely also need proper lighting conditions and a magnifier to help you see your coins better. The best lighting is incandescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting tends to be too soft and mild and may hide significant imperfections from you. Halogen lights, on the other hand, are too harsh and may call undue attention to minor blemishes on your coin. A simple desk lamp that uses a 75-watt incandescent bulb is ideal.
Some coin collectors like to use two different kinds of magnifiers. The first is a hand-held lens, which is usually 1.5 to 4 inches in diameter and has a magnification power between 2X to 3X. This type of glass allows a general viewing of the coin's beauty and overall eye appeal. For more close-up analysis of the surface of a coin, a jeweler's loupe that has a magnification power between 10X and 15X is ideal.
Visit our Store on I-10 in Houston between Voss and Bingle to select your coin collecting supplies! We’d be happy to answer any questions.
If you choose to collect “raw” coins (not graded by third parties) knowing how to accurately assess and grade coins is a crucial skill you will need to develop before you begin investing.
There are literally hundreds, even thousands of books about coin collecting that can help you build your rare coin collection and knowledge base. Here are three that should be in every collector’s library and all three are available at U.S. Coins and Jewelry.

To foster a lifelong love of coin collecting, we created the U.S. Coins and Jewelry Kid Collector Starter Kit. Our kit is part of our ongoing mission to help educate kids so that they can recognize the fun and rich history that can be had from collecting coins. Coin collecting can help them learn things like; where different U.S. Mints are located around the country, how to tell just by looking at a coin where it was minted, how money travels from mint to mint, coin grading, different coin metals and values, Presidents, historic people, and so much more important history.
