Question by chispero19: What store sells coin collecting suppies?
Don't want to buy online. Does anybody know what retail store sells coin collecting supplies such as holders and albums?

Best answer:

Answer by Yahzmin: IGMA Artisan
Some craft stores do, but you would need to call and ask first to save a wasted trip.
Your best bet is to find a numismatist shop (coin dealer). These sometimes are joined with a collector's shop like baseball cards, for example. Just check online for your area to find one.

Question by Shawn O'neill: What does encapsulated and type set mean in coin collecting?

Best answer:

Answer by Mike1942f
You can double check these but encapsulated should mean contained in a sealed plastic case so the coin can be viewed but not touched or scratched - stiffer than a plastic bag.
Type set should mean all the coins of that design from the various mints - so might have coins from San Francisco, Denver, Pittsburgh depending on year.
