PCGS coin facts

David Hall was kind enough to give me a free one year subscription to coin facts back around the time Summer FUN was going on up in Orlando. He extended this to a few members in a give away thread which I had just caught as I returned to the hotel room. He asked that from time to time it would be nice if we commented on coin facts and how we felt about it.

The images are outstanding, and the detailed breakdown of relative rarity within the series gives you a good overview of each date. I like the recent auction results also, but it would be nice to perhaps have a drop down menu to allow older results to be viewed.

I wish I had more free time to spend on there, there's several series I haven't even gone to yet. About my only complaint would be the lack of MS62 pop and price levels, especially for some of the 19th century issues which have their high condition census around the MS62 grade.

For those of you who subscribe, how do you like coin facts?

    I like it! I am surprised how often I use it.

    Initially I subscribed to support PCGS and promote Coin Facts. I was a little skeptical about its usefulness.

    I enjoy the summary information in one place (relative rarity, price, auctions, varieties, images). I wish the site were faster loading, however. That's a pretty big negative, IMO.

    Coin Facts is a useful tool, but it would be nice if printer friendly pages could be made available. I have a very short want list of very expensive coins that I would like fill, and it would be helpful if I could print the information so that I could put it in a few pages in the binder I take to coin shows.

  • Have no worthwhile opinion about Coin Facts, but I agree that David Hall is a heck of a nice guy.
