FREE! On-Line U.S. Coin Prices

We've just released the NumisEXPERT/ProIII on-line coin price list for every U.S. coin since 1616 including attributes, errors, and varieties with Price History. Free! All underscored individual prices link to a time-line price performance chart for that coin.
While this price list is static (you can look at it, or print it), the prices provided via our NumisEXPERT/ProIII Collector and/or Dealer versions are real-time dynamic. That is, as prices change, your inventory is automatially updated to the current "Market Value". Questions or comments here or my email.

No, you do not have to be a member to access the price list. Please try copying the full address to your browser:

You do see the price lists, right? If you clicked on the links to the price history they wont be viewable until early next week. Sorry! I should have mentioned that.

Nice site!
One question and one comment:
What methodology do you use for determining coin prices?
I noticed that when you click the price for a coin, you get a graph of the price. Some of the graphs seem to be chronologically out of order.
Good luck with your site.

Thanks for the compliment!
Coming up with the prices is a rather involved process. We essentially collect prices from every dealer, flyer, ad, price list, web, promo, auction, and everywhere we can find them. Then enter all the data into a series of programs that we have written to analyze, rank, evaluate (and weight) both the prices and the sources. This process continues in real-time and it updates our prices database also in real-time. We dedicate several full time staff members to maintaining the price database. Our goal is to have every dealer and collector maintain their inventories in our NumisEXPERT/Pro series of systems.
Please understand that this is a work in progress. We know there are booboo's and are working to eliminating them. If you see an error please send us an email and we will correct it. If you get a chance, please look at the related sites all of which are available through our Portal. Most of the software has been released free in BETA. We want feedback from collectors and dealers to make the software better.

Looks like a useful tool - thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for the kind words!
We are not quite finished with the program yet - still working feverishly. We have small ads currently running in Numismatic News and Coin World newspapers and hope to start having seminars at some of the major coin shows where we demo the software. We are also planning to do some advertising on the web, and a direct mail color postcard to all the dealer's addresses we can find.
If you have any suggestions, we're all ears!
Thanks
Jan
You have been collecting for 17 years longer than me? You must be a an o*d dog that really learns new tricks!
Hey, you did not list any prices for many of my mint state coins!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the response and the questions.
As the product matures we will be adding more features. One, for example, when you click on a coin then disagree with the price. We are planning to tell you where you can buy that coin at that price, and possibly how many have been sold at that price. We will also have more data on auction prices and on actual sales. On the auctions we plan to show what price, when, what auction, and the range of comparable coins sold at auction over a period of time.
Yes, we will be adding patterns. We track a fair number of them through NumisEXPERT/ProIII Collector or Dealer link currently released free in BETA also. If collectors use PROIII and give us permission, their buy and sell prices will be included. By the way, PROIII tracks and reports (to you only) your buying/selling performance. We assume if you buy low and sell high you must be doing something right. Now, if you buy high and sell low, please contact me directly!
Your "smiley face" tagline with "Baccaruda" reminds me of an '50's auto ad where they had this cartoon character that couldn't pronounce Barraccuda so the voice-over says "Repeat after me, BA ...", the little guy says "BA", then "Ra", and so on. Little guy says I've got it! Babararacucudada!

Well, yes, I am an old dog and I still have the first three coins that I ever got. During WWII Mom sent me to the grocery store to get a roast beef for supper (we were splurging!). She gave me three red cardboard like "coins" as meat was rationed. I thought they were neat. Elmer, our friendly grocer started to get a chunk of beef ready, then told me I could get a lot more meat, save money, and not have to use the rations if I would buy some of his fresh rabbit. Save money, keep neat coins, heck of a deal! I got my ears boxed for not doing what Mom said but I got to keep the ration tokens and besides we had more meat to eat. We enjoyed a couple of meatful dinners. A few days later the local newspaper alerted the neighborhood to Elmer selling alley cat for rabbit. Got my ears boxed again! (Attn: Cat lovers. I understand why you like cats, they taste a lot like chicken!)
We do list mint state coins, you might have to scroll down a bit. The lists are pretty long, sorry, but there are a lot of coins there!
Thanks for the nice comments. One more story? OK. I cam home on leave from the military in 1956 and went to see my old coin shop. The old guy was getting on in years and he pushed me to buy a whole bag of Indian Head Cents for $200! You could still see them in circulation then and I thought he was ripping me off as I was making $179/month then. I bought the bag anyhow and threw it in the closet. I hadn't even looked at it until I stubbed my toe for the millionth time on the bag so I drug it out a couple of years ago and asked my wife to sort it a bit. First coin out of the bag was a cherry red super 1909-S. 75% of the bag is XF, some better, lots of keys and errors. However, I've never calculated the interest on that $200 for all those years - I probably did get screwed, eh?

Great site. This should be very interesting, expecially for the Colonial coins since there really aren't many places to locate prices. I take it that the Colonial coin area in this web site is still in infancy because I'm not getting any output to my screen?

Nice site and thanks for sharing with us
Looks like you're still in work, but a brief glance of the series I collect suggest your modeling is relatively accurate, and the site is certainly easy to use, functional and informative. Nice job.
If you'd like a few first impression thoughts; Would make more sense to me if Types and Denominations went chronologically (i.e, Half Cents first, Cents, etc. ... in the Nickel column Shields are last, could be first ... in the Standing Lib's the Var 2 precedes the Var 1) ... just a first impression critique.
I'll keep watching and hope you'll keep us informed on the progress.

Outstanding site and I'll be spreading the word! Just two comments tho. It would be real nice if you could increase the visibility of the slide bars and the up/down arrows. Maybe add color to them? It took me several minutes to realize I had to hold my cursor over the up/down arrows to get the scroll of prices. Not really evident in present form.
Also would like to be able to see at least a half screen of the price list instead of just the little window as it is now. Just my thoughts.

Some of them work now but all of them definitely work. Think we've got a glitch in the links. This should be taken care of by noon tomorrow. Please check then.
Thanks
Jan
We've got a glitch somewhere. I know we have a great deal of data - my guys will get on it first thing in the morning.
Sorry for the problem, we will get it fixed.
Please check after noon tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the kudos! Please check out some of the other "links"

No, prices do go to 70 plus all the attributes you mention and many more. Today is the first day we've allowed anyone to access the site - it will take a little time to get all the glitches out. That's why we put it up, so our friends could tell us what we're doing wrong. We want to make it better.
Our pricing utilities generate a price for every grade 1 thru 70 inclusive for business strikes and 40 thru 70 inclusive for proofs. Lots of attributes, about 100 grading services, many pedigrees, errors, varieties, etc. The "domain" of U.S. coins is pretty expansive. You don't want to know how many prices we track. Ok, over six million!
Thanks for the input.

Jan
Thanks! and we are happy to do so.
Yes, we still have a lot of work to do. I'm the only coin collector in the group but several of my guys are starting to get real interested. There are a lot of awkward things like your types and denominations. We need to reorganize that. Thanks for the suggestion, we will do it. Of course I will have to argue with my systems analysts but they usually give in.
Yes, please do keep watching, we have lots more coming. Have you looked at NumisEXPERT/ProIII BETA yet? It's a free ride right now and it encompases a great deal, more coming very soon.
Keep up the feed back - that is what makes things better.

Thanks for the kudos, and yes, please do!
(You could have ditched the photo of your friend, though. I had a run in with one of those guys in Taiwan some years ago. Whew!)
Thanks for the comments - we will check into this and see if we can't take care of it. I will dump it on my programmers and hopefully you'll see results pretty quickly.
Thanks again!
Jan
Thanks! Stay tuned, more coming.

You did a great job getting this up. We recognize the numbers need to be computerized via formula calculations, but it would be nice in the future to eliminate all the prices that are not really relevent. For example, in my series, Lincoln Cents, it is nice to see prices for the 1990 no S proof cent. But why do we need to show red, red brown, XF, PR60, etc, etc. The only prices and grades relevent to that PARTICULAR coin is DCAM in grades 65 to 69. Obviously, you are using a price like DCAM 65 and then having the computer derive other prices at other grades and conditions. This may provide a reasonable price for what a 1990 no S Lincoln proof cent in grade XF40 might sell for, but in reality, no such transaction will take place. I would hope that over time you will be able to clean up some of these phantom prices. Thanks. Steve

Steve,
Thanks for the kind words. Our goal is to provide a service for all collectors, the newbies, the oldbies and the inbetweenbies. I know it is painful to see prices on things that don't count, but what are the new collectors to do? If we just show the creame they wont just feel left out, they will feel like they are not welcome. I may be stretching the point a little here so please bear with me. We don't know who will access this price list, nor how it will be used if at all. We actually compute our price db to support our NumisEXPERT/PROIII software (link). If you were using that software, you wouldn't see the whole range of prices but rather only the specific coin that you are entering to inventory. If you have the time, please check it out and see if that is less offensive to you. I will be interested in your comments. In that system you cannot have a 1990 No S Lincoln proof in XF-40 (although you could have one in PF40) and I am aware of many proof coins that make their way into circulation by hook or crook, so having a price for that coin, which could actually exist, is valid, is it not?
We take every comment into consideration and try to accomodate. That is how we make the software better. Please keep your comments coming.
Thanks and best regards,
Jan

Thanks for the kind comments! I appreciate all your included photos, even the football one. We here in Dallas are less than overjoyed with the Cowboys' record this year.

More tweeking is needed but this is far beyond just a start and looks like a lot of work went
into it. Can't wait till the souvenir sets are listed.
Very nice job

Hi CladKing!
We appreciate your comments. Yes, we have much to do yet, and we are trying to accomplish it. By "souvenir sets" do you mean the SMS (Special Mint Sets)? They are included, or is there another genre of sets we've missed?
Thanks!

I think this is what he is referring to:
<< <i>
Yes. Exactly. This is one of the souvenir mint sets made between '71 or '72 and 1998.
There's a category for it listed under "sets" but no prices.
