Online Coin Tools: Best Websites for Coin Information
Posted by: biggandy, in Numismatic MondayIf you read my article on Rarity VS Condition, I gave a few websites for your information and reference. I want to expand that list a bit for you. I will categorize the list for easy reference.
Coin Prices Online:
PCGS - Professional Coin Grading Service
NumisMedia Online - Numismatic Guarantee Corporation
Heritage Auction Galleries - Membership (free) Required
Coin Images Online:
Coins2.com - Online Coin Search Engin
Coinfacts - Online U.S. Coin Encyclopedia
Coin Grading Online:
Acoin.com - Beginners Tutorial
Coingrading.com - Detailed Look into Coin Grading
Coin Grading Services:
PCSG - Top of the Top Tier Coin Authentication Services
NGC - If you have seen Home Shopping Club, you have seen their coins.
ANACS - Respected Coin Grading Company
ICG - Independent Coin Grading Company
The above listed services are the Top Tier in the numismatic world. If you encounter coins in different holders you can expect them to be slightly to extremely overgraded. Some keen eyed coin collectors have even found fake and doctored coins in some of the lower tier holders. The above companies will guarantee their certification of a coin and will make good if a mistake is encountered.
All in all, there is a wealth of information listed above, enough to occupy your leisure time in numismatics for a very long time. Enjoy and if you have any questions about coins you can add a comment here and I will get you an answer.

Hey Andyy, I never knew you wee a coin collector. I’ve recently gotten re-interested. I’m working on a U.S. type set right now. I don’t participate at christianboard.com these days, but say you’d been there and followed your website link. Cool beans. Take care and God bless…

Hey Bro J! Yeah, unfortunately over the years I usually have to sell off any of the good pieces I come across. I’ll collect, get one or two nice coins and then the roof needs repaired or the car fixed so off to ebay with a coin or two.
I am glad to see you back in the hobby. A type set is a great way to start. If you have any particular needs I still may have one or two of the odder coins/denominations available to give ya. They won’t be in the greatest of shape, but it is always fun to get a coin in the mail!
