Nothing is free.
My opinion but not always a winner 🤨

Spam. Reported.
You get what you pay for.
Any legitimate coin dealer will offer estimates of value or purchase offers. Anyone taking names on the internet for "free appraisals" is likely just building a database for future spam.
If you want to know where to get "free coin appraisals" just type it into Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go or any other search engine. You'll get a more comprehensive list without having to sort through the 2024 Revenge Tour.
It's not spam. It's a site to help people find appraisal services. The information listed on Coin Appraisal Services are from the websites that are listed above them. It's not a marketing scam. You don't pay for anything nor sign up for anything. That's up to you, the viewer, to decide whether or not to pursue an appraisal service that costs.
The approach here is wrong
It tastes spammy
How about ::
“I’m trying to make a database where people can look in their area for free appraisals. I’m taking names to populate the lists. I’d appreciate any help you guys can offer.”
Less spammy
It's spam.
Your first post is a commercial site selling medals that has such really useful information like "Heritage will do free appraisals on coins being submitted for auction."
How about taking off the medal sale links that are every other line on the less than helpful list?
It looks like spam, but calling it a “marketing scam” seems unfounded at this point.

That was meant as a separate thought. The website itself is simply a retail sales channel masquerading as an information site. I shall clarify.
To be fair, that is one of the suggestions on the site. I for one wouldn’t have thought to do a search for what I’m searching for without this sound advice.
“If none of the above websites are good options for you and perhaps you just want to physically walk into a shop and talk to an expert face to face, please put “Coin Appraisers Near Me” in your search bar and several mom and pop shops MIGHT appear. I did this and 4 popped up within 30 minutes from me. I had no idea!”
Yes, but I provided the advice directly on the forum without trying to sell anyone anything...
The website did nothing to help me appraise my coins. It appears to be a site that provides profit to the site owner by paid advertising from the links in the site or a referral fee for every visit to one of the links from the site.
I'll stick with the best free appraisal service available - ebay completed sales. It tells me what buyers are actually paying at the moment.
Rampant currency debasement will be the most important investment trend of this decade, and it will devastate most people.
- Nick Giambruno Buy dollar insurance now, because the policy will cost more as the dollar becomes worth less.
Yup. I hate those sites! One can go crazy clicking links to an endless string of these useless sites.
lots of money is often made by someone when they get others to click

But you’re just some random person posting on a message board. Why should I trust you, especially when I can instead get that advice from a very well designed and certainly legitimate, no nonsense website?
You can. Most of us can. A lot of the general public especially our heirs will have no idea of what they have. You see that all the time with new posters here.
None of which is to say that the website in the OP is valuable.
@jramcoins... Welcome aboard.... As you can see, critics abound on this site. Also, experts in every niche of numismatics who offer inputs freely. Thanks for the link. Cheers, RickO
Coin facts is excellent on certified coins, it shows you what coins are selling for at auction, I'm not sure if they are still including ebay. Ebay will go back 90 days on sales and dealers often check there before buying or selling. Keep in mind that auction fees can easily be over 10% and up to and over 20%.
