The Ultimate Coin Supply Kit Review


Any coin collector will know that Whitman Publishing, LLC is the best company that makes the supplies for coin collecting. From coin books to the yearly A Guide Book of United States Coins, the company manufacturing everything you would ever need.

Available to purchase now from Whitman Publishing, LLC is the 625pc Ultimate Coin Supply Kit, featuring the 2015 Red Book Price Guide, State Series Quarters Folders Volume I & II, 300 Nickel-Quarter Mylar holders, 300 Cent-Dime Mylar holders, 4 Quarter Size Storage Tubes, 5 Cent Size Storage Tubes, a Whitman Coin Storage Box, 5 Quality Thumb-cut Pages, 6 Plastic 2x2 Quarter holders, and a 3" Round Magnifier. If purchased separately, this collection would retail at over $76, but it can currently be purchased at $29.95!

Being a coin collector myself, I was excited to review a complimentary kit in exchange for my honest thoughts. Of course the main item that pops out of the kit is the 2015 Red Book, a price guide of United States Coins, which retails at $14.95 all by itself. The guide covers the current prices of Pre-Federal Issues (colonial and post-colonial), Federal Issues (from half cents to proof and mint coin sets), Bullion, United States Pattern Pieces and other coin issues. The "Welcome To Numismatics" gives a detailed introduction to the United States Coins, starting with the Spanish Milled Dollar and ending with Sunken Treasure. The 2015 Red Book gives a coin collector the current value (well at least close to it) for every coin grade.

Included in the kit are 300 Nickel-Quarter Mylar holders (a 100 psc. set retails at $5.99) and 300 Cent-Dime Mylar holders (a 100 psc. set retails at $5.99). These are great for keeping coins dust-free. To keep each cardboard holder close, I recommend taping it shut with scotch tape. There is also a 6 pcs. State Series Quarters Plastic Holders. These polystyrene holders can be used to keep any quarter in your collection safe. Each 2" x 2" holder retails about $.89. You can store these holders in the Whitman Coin Storage Box (3 dividers; box is 9 inches long), which holds 39 - 2" x  2" holders and retails at $5.99.

Additionally, the kit has 5 Cent Size Coin Tubes and 5 Quarter Size Coin Tubes. The Cent Coin Tubes (retails at $3.49) can hold hold 50 coins per tube. The Quarter Coin Tubes can hold 40 coins and also retails at $3.49. No coin collecting kit can go without a coin folder and this kit has two Washington State Quarters volumes, which retails at $3.99 each. There is also  5 Thumb Pages, which you can drop your coins into each coin slot on each page and store the page in any 3-ring binder. Each Thumb Page retails at $.75.

Lastly, there is a 3" Round Reading Glass Magnifier (a $7.49 value), which is what every coin collector needs to make out those hard to read dates on older coins.


Like I already mentioned above, Whitman Publishing, LLC, carries the best coin supplies for collectors. Their yearly Red Book is the #1 bestselling price guides on the market, featuring detailed history on the United States coins, the current prices on all grades and beautiful photos of coins throughout it. The Ultimate Coin Supply Kit is being sold at a remarkable price of $29.95, as the Red Book alone is priced at $14.95. Everything included in the kit is made of high quality, even the Mylar holders. Overall, the Ultimate Coin Supply Kit is a wonderful coin collecting kit to own. This would make a great gift for anyone at any age that is wanting to start a coin collection or even for diehard coin collectors!

  1. This kit sounds very fun to have and read through. I love how these kits tell you interesting facts about coins. (Do they? I'm pretty sure they do in some of them.) I used to be a coin collector, I kind of stopped as I grew older though. :) But fun review! I enjoyed it.
