A note regarding Coin Facts...

I was urged to try Coin Facts when it first came out, and being a late adopter, I waited until just recently to join.

It's great!image

    yes and if you keep it up for ten years youve spent a grand and a half.


    ....Ill do my own googling thank you very much.


    In that way I wont exclude NGC and raw coins from my understanding of the issue.

    it would be quite a pain to google auction results in a manner that coin facts does it for you. For the cost a month it saves me much more in time than 10 bucks a month.

    My collecting interests are SO esoteric....coinfacts is just not informative enough.

  • I agree it's very easy to use and research... sure the info's all out there but I like the convenience of a one-stop-shop... I signup/cancel regularly b/c I really only use it when buying/selling which is generally streaky... so over the course of a year, I have access to it for a few months... I'd love to have more individual coin write ups by date rather than just numbers but i hope they come w/ time...

    I think Coin Facts is a solid resource and worth the money...and my interests might just be as esoteric as yours. image

    Probably worth it but still clunky.

    It's a really good resource but very overpriced in my opinion. I wouldn't sign up unless it was a one time fee or at least a yearly fee. I don't understand things like this that charge monthly...

    They have a yearly option.

  • I use CoinFacts almost daily and often several times a day. It is awesome and does include NGC and ANACS coins in the auction results.

    The direct link to completed Heritage Auctions is now fixed. image The auction results history from ALL major venues rolled into one place and sortable by grade is hard to beat.

    $10/month is chump change for the hours it saves me every week!

    I have the distinct feeling that the auction results resource is going to save me more than $10/month this year. I'll let you know.

    Most definitely image

    It needs to be more user friendly. More complete and
    have more example images by now. Often true view
    coins are displayed on this forum, or in sets & are not
    shown on CoinFacts site.
    Please don't make me sign in 3 or more times while
    moving around in their site!

    I use it quite a bit. Easy to use and a ton of information at your finger tips.

    I certainly agree that I wish the "foreign" numismatic content was as extensive -- OK, even half as extensive -- as the U.S. content. Particularly for popular countries such as Canada, France, and Great Britain. Last time I noticed, the logo said Collectors Universe. But it is still pretty much Collectors America.

    I've subscribed since day one and will continue. I save a lot of time with CoinFacts. Love it.

    Response time could be a bit better, however.

    It saves me a lot of time. For that reason, I feel the price is fair.
