Coin Collecting Supplies

Christophers has one of the best selections anywhere of coin collecting supplies and reference materials. We have an excellent inventory of coin books, grading guides and value tables, along with Coin World, Numismatic News and the Bank Note Reporter periodicals.

For years collectors housed their collections in cabinets with two-inch square compartments often lined with velvet or felt. In the early 20th century cardboard holders or boards were made to house coins, which evolved into the familiar ‘blue books’ we use today. Other types of albums, holders and displays are now produced for today’s coin collectors, such as the Dansco ‘window’ page album, Capitol Plastics coin frames and the Whitman folders and styrene holders. Paper ‘2X2’s and coin roll tubes are available for all sizes of U.S. coins. We also have round capsules for silver 1 oz. rounds, American Silver Eagles and U.S. coins, cents through silver dollar.

Reference books are a must for the novice, or even advanced collector, and we carry the most popular ones, plus some specialty books that are invaluable to the serious coin collector or dealer. The latest edition of theGuide Book of United States Coins, or Red Book, is sometimes called the Bible of American coin collectors. We also have the latest editions of foreign coin, paper money, tokens and other related items reference books.
