Terms of Service

Welcome to Top Coin Collecting. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About This Site

Top Coin Collecting is written by a hobby collector for hobby collectors. We cover the everyday supplies that protect and organize a coin collection: coin folders, cardboard 2x2 holders, reference price guides, lighted loupes and cotton handling gloves. Every review is based on real use at a working coin desk, and we never tell you a supply will make your coins worth more.

Affiliate Disclosure

Top Coin Collecting is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link in our content and purchase a qualifying product, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Handling and Safety

Coins can be damaged in ways that cannot be undone. Never clean, polish, rub or dip a collectible coin; cleaning almost always lowers or destroys its collector value. Hold coins by the edges over a soft surface, and avoid touching the faces with bare fingers, since skin oils and moisture can leave permanent marks.

Some storage materials can harm coins over time. Older soft plastic flips may contain PVC, which can leave a green residue on coins; choose holders described as PVC-free or archival, and store coins in a cool, dry place away from humidity and fumes. The staples on cardboard holders should be pressed flat so they cannot scratch neighboring coins or holders.

Lighted loupes and magnifiers use small batteries; keep spare button cells away from children and pets, because a swallowed button battery is a medical emergency. Never look at the sun through any magnifier. Small coins and loose capsules are a choking hazard for young children, so supervise kids when they help sort a collection.

Nothing on this site is financial or investment advice. We do not appraise coins, and price guide figures are reference estimates, not offers to buy. For a valuable coin, consult a reputable dealer or a professional grading service.
