Lots of stuff comes up and it appears many of them are 'plug and play'.
I haven't tried it, so I can't recommend any.

I can ready just about everything else. Also it is not the plastic causing problem as I cracked open one PCGS coin I was getting regraded and scanner still could not read barcode.
Obviously this is something PCGS never tested.
I have software that comes with my Dino Capture camera that can read about 10% of PCGS barcodes.
When I asked PCGS about a scanner they referred me to this forum.
For barcode readability PCGS is not #1 even 2nd and 3rd tier graders have readable barcodes.

Symbol LS2208
It scans USPS barcodes, Microsoft tiny bar codes.
I am happy someone at least can read bar codes and gave a model.
So maybe I should return mine and get a replacement.
Yes I found a phone app to read the bar codes but I want to put them in my computer not my phone.
<< <i>Scanner aside for a moment, anyone have experience generating bar codes? >>
I have a handheld USB one that will not work on PCGS slabs.
I also have a label printer that will print barcodes. I also think word will do barcodes.

Quickbooks "Point of Sale" system has hardware and software for generating merchandise bar codes. Comes with a laser scanner, label printer and the program software can store a database of manually generated bar codes for inventory.

Now it scans. The LS2208 model.

<< <i>I just downloaded an iPhone app that is a bar scanner. So far, I've scanned a bunch of bar codes on things around my house, and danged if the thing doesn't work great. Identifies the item, then tells you all the places you can buy that item, prices in descending order. It's flat amazing. I tried it on one PCGS coin, didn't read it. >>
Yes! I use the same free Scanlife app from the ITunes Store. It is excellent.

I use my scanner to just get the NGC number to bulk into their database. Is there a scanner out there that will read the entire data set and move it into Excel? Will the $69 one on Amazon do this?

Most scanners simulate being a keyboard, so whatever could be typed can be scanned.
