PCGS CoinFacts Coin Collecting Reviews

by AKOSPHOTO

Advertises for its great facts in PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting ,... but does Not do this at all: there are absolutely no facts whatsoever mentioned that could help in distinguishing to differentiate coins. Facts , which are, for example , mechanical flaws in letters of the coin, differentiations which are crucial to evaluate and place a coin in a timeline, but which cannot be found anywhere in PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting. This being only one of very many mechanical recognition factors to evaluate and distinguish and place a coin. Since these real world actually only relevant “facts” are utterly all missing, PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting becomes absolutely useless.

I am not a coin collector but trying to sort a huge quantity of circulated coins collected by a deceased family member into those worth showing to an expert and those likely to be face value only. While PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting started out as being very useful for my purpose, it started replacing information about specific coins with a PCGS ad that is so persistent it seems impossible to get back to the picture and information for a specific coin. I’ll now return to searching the internet and avoiding PCGS sites there as well.

The does help a lot. The only thing I have against it is how hard it is to find the coin you’re looking for via search bar. The other way you can find coins is by the search by topic, for example, you could be looking for a barber dime, under the search bar, you would tap on half dimes and dimes. Great app and definitely recommend it.

I use PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting at least once a day to calculate the average price of my collection and to make sure I don’t get a bad deal when I buy coins. I love to surf through all the different varieties as well and find new additions to my collection. I also love to learn about the history of each coin and the rarity. I also love the population estimate feature and the numismatic rarity feature. These add one are just life savers in knowing how rare my coin is. I also love the recommendations on where to purchase each coin. Normally, coins I thought were impossible to find, wouldn’t show up if I searched Safari; now I can see where they have past sold, and where they’re selling now. Overall, any collector who wants to get deeper into numismatics should download PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting immediately.

using PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting on my ipad i will only get to view a coin one time
if i leave and come back to that coin there is photo of a camera
and will say no information on this coin when i know not true.
If only allowed to view a coin one time then this needs to be
mentioned in the information section of app or fixed.

I prefer the old standalone PCGS Photograde much better, even though it has the same photos as CoinFacts. Reason: the old version has the alphanumeric grade descriptors instead of just numeric ones in the CoinFacts version (G04, VF35, XF45 etc, versus 04, 35, 45). Were the letters too expensive to continue using? Geesh!

For Numismatics aka collectors of Coins, Paper money, and Stamps. I simply am a silver, then paper, then regular Circulation of old coins what ever o can afford at the time on a disabled Vets Salary. This guide can tell you that a “wheat penny” along with their copper, zink, alloy is worth more material wise vs say those dollar coins( Sacajawea or other president dollar coins) these coins may say face value ($1) but in actuality their worth 0.01 cents because of its metal value. It will show then after the wheat came the pennys with the Lincoln Memorial still hi in value in copper etc. It was only until 2010 the penny’s with shield they really stripped the penny to nothing. .01 cents and that’s just a penny. Theirs a lot of coins and etc for New and Old alike to learn. Great app.

Very happy with PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting, especially since rather new to coin collecting I have found it useful!
Only problem I have is in past I have asked questions (and maybe stupid questions) but never a answer? At least tell me where to look on your site for answers?
Otherwise I haven’t had a problem with it or PCGS!

Why are the only errors in PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting that you show our double dies and re-punched mint marks? This should’ve been an app for many other types of errors. But other than that PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is great. Just found out a little mistake in PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting . So with the 1909 S vdb for the mint state 66+, you guys accidentally put a 1924 buffalo nickel in there.

PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is very simple and very useful to check for the value of the coins and to check in details about the coins you have. I would recommend for you to use PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting to get full access of the coins you have or the coin you are looking for. Enjoy this useful app.!😊

by ScottymusPrime

I like to reference my Redbook, but don’t always have it at the ready. PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is arguably more useful:

Auction prices with EBay prices included or excluded at your discretion. High resolution grading examples. Scanner for coin slabs. Information, information, information.

The best part about PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is the simple, and intuitive, user interface. UI importance cannot be overstated and PCGS has nailed it.

I use PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting all of the time! It’s quick and always up to date. I missed out on purchasing coins when I had to wait to get home to check my price guides to see if a coin was priced appropriately and someone else put it in their cart by the time I had the info! Now I can find out in seconds!

by MTD32

I use the PCGS App at least once a week! Never make a bad deal again... - - For newbies, keep practicing grading coins. Lastly, If the color looks too good, pass on it until you are an expert grader. People usually tone coins in order to hide other problems. Use sulfur based compounds on junk coins to better understand accelerated toning... Then please remove sulfur residue from coin.

PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is great! A must have if you collect coins. Something to remember, the prices listed are for PCGS slabbed problem free coins. As with all price guides, it is just that. A "guide". Quite a bit on the high side in most cases compared to "realized" prices in the real world from my experience. I understand though. They are placing a premium on coins that they graded and deemed to be genuine, and possibly attributed.

The best app in the world for numismatics ever. You need all apps by PCGS but get PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting first for best references and I am 12 and I have over a couple thousand dollars in coins and have had it since It came to PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting Store great for new and old numismatist in the us but I wish it had some Central American coins but besides that it is the best app I have ever got if I could it would be a 1000*

by -Seifer-

100% recommend. Basically an incredible app for those interested in the treasures of coins. Pricing. Buying. Selling. Researching and learning. Overall an easy to use and great app. I would love to see a feature that provides an average price for coins based on their relative grade (ex. Very Fine, good, uncirculated, etc.). That would basically make this a perfect app.

Now it's a watered down mess, like PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting. It used to let you view multiple examples of each denomination and date in various grades, now you get only the three highest graded of each that have TrueViews. Yes, I know about Photograde, this is different. Tempted to crack my PCGS-slabbed coins and send them off to NGC. I certainly won't purchase anything in a PCGS slab again. What were they thinking when they crippled such a great resource? 👎

In a world of flawed, horribly functioning apps that only have their existence due to predatory practices…

This one shines like an diamond… or a MS coin. Perfectly done for what it needs to do. No fluff. No ads. No excess garbage. Just a pure expression of functionality. Does what it needs to do… and nothing more. Allows me to easily judge my purchases in the most elegant and informative way possible.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Not many developers actually get their app as perfect for its need as this.

I recently inherited a bunch of coins that my grandfather collected. When I was a child I would help him roll the coins he would get from the local bank and when he saw something he thought might be of value he collected it. Many of these coins have been locked away since he passed. This site has saved me much frustration, for one, finding out the coins shouldn’t be cleaned. I’m very excited to find out what I have. Keep the stories coming so I can become educated. Thank you.

The reason I titled this review can’t wait is because it’s true I follow the silver and gold market diligently and I can’t wait every morning for the report to come out, I recently went to a coin show this past weekend and used my knowledge gained from this website, I follow the silver spot and that helps me when I go to purchase more coins, I think it’s a great website it goes over all the coins in the US spectrum from the penny to the $10 gold piece, I look forward every day to looking at it to see where I’m at with the silver pricing and gold pricing thank you so much for a great website.

Overall I love PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting but for whatever reason PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is not working today. I checked for app updates and software updates (iPhone) which my software was updated two days ago... PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting worked fine yesterday but isn’t working at all today

by Hyder Law

I had not realized that many coins had between 20-50% silver content! I listened to the local coin “expert” who was either not skilled in nuances of coin variations or hoped we weren’t. Get your copy of this and study it. You will be happy you did!

by Eieio Oic

Highly recommended! I go here often as it is a valued source of quick references and monetary updates. It’s beneficial to have an immediate reference when considering buying or selling. 5 Stars all the way!
Thank you.

PCGSCoinFactsCoinCollecting is indispensable for a modern collector. Vast resources and information all compiled in one place. Plus when I had a small issue that was easily resolved, I was greatly impressed how quickly the IT people got back to me. Great product! Thanks

by Queenie Cole

iPhone user prefer using PCGS apps because old versions running slowly and photos show these coins not clearly

by Recon Joe

Coin facts is a great site, it tells me everything I want to know about any coin, the makers of Coin Facts had to go to a great deal of trouble assembling it and I would like to say THANK YOU to all who put the time and effort into developing it, JOE

I’ve only been collecting coins for about 2 years now and this is the best app ever. It has helped me so much it’s unbelievable. Thanks for the invaluable help. Keep it up. Marv.

I am overwhelmed with all the pictures and information available on the site!
