Assist with equipment [ENG] [gelöst]

Hello all,

As of recent I am realizing I am needing some stuff to assist me identify and/or verify the authenticity of coins.

Is there any recommendations on scales, loupes, and storage equipment that anyone is willing to point me to so I may purchase?

Thank you for reading!

I use a precision balance and a precision ruler to measure weight and diameter.
To catalog, it depends from coin to coin, most of the time I use the precise search here on numist, and practically always I find what I am looking for!
Maybe others collectors have other advises!

TESA Digital or Dial Vernier Calipers to Measure Dia and Thk and Jeweler's Digital Pocket Scales for Precise Weight for Storing Coins I use Coin Cases and Coin Capsules as I find these don't effect the Coins.

Hi US2000ZP,
Enjoy sorting, researching & cataloguing your coins.
There was a previous discussion of something similar, can't find it.
I bought these based on the recommendations from that discussion.

BOOKS

A magnet is also very usefull.

Finding the authenticity of a coin is another area, but yes, aids can help, Each collector has different options and will always learn what suits him according to his financial capabilities and experience.( There are a lot of other solved threads) And time will lead him to what is enough and suitable for him, Recently, a colleague from India informed me here that measuring a hygrometer is unthinkable for many households.
( Today, the post office will deliver it to his home ) -you don't believe ?
The merchant and the assessor of the knowledge of the authenticity of the coin must be equipped differently-professionally.
so what tools are sufficient for us to begin with:
Forget the scales in the first picture, even if the French collector of old things is careful because one item on the scales is their well-known company , just cheap- accurate -digital to two tenths.
even weights were once subject to control.

This is common and affordable today and is enough for a layman:


Measurements here many times show wooden meters also unsuitable, really digital is not so expensive and if not at least cheap sliding, However, on the slider to see the tenths he wants knowledge and experience.
this will probably be the best:
For magnification and image is needed, good eyesight someone and glasses and then a variety of aids. A magnifier and a phone with a camera are enough.


I haven't even photographed all the tools, it's sometimes a hundred useless: Gloves, photo chamber, various aids

I use an ultrasonic washing machine to clean the clay exceptionally with distilled water( only silver clogged with soil):




What if you see ghosts on there, you're knitting a thread that's elsewhere:
( I've seen those ghosts everywhere since the evening )
I still forgot about pegs, tweezers, albums and a lot of others

There are definitely a lot of opinions this is my theater there are definitely a lot of other facilities ,we are all original and also we each find our own procedures, that is, just for explanation , I am a layman and collector for 35 years and I know that in the past I have solved a lot of things without the internet with samizdat and a library.
So just for info. And Maria Theresa's father was a passionate collector, and he used other tools and mainly owned mints. ( The worst thing is to have an unknown mint - but it's different)

​Wow, I really appreciate the detailed response to this. I definitely will look into this and judge what I may use off of this.

Many thanks to you my friend!

As a measuring and calibration technician this thread does bring a tear to ones eyes. (The good kind of tear)

that being said always try to correct your scales atleast every 3 years and your callipers (manual every year to year and a half/ digital every 2 years)

This is ofc pending how much you use your tools so to say.
