Numismatics is the study of coins and other currency units and is usually associated with the appraisal and collection of rare coins. Numismatists study the physical properties, production technology, and historical context of specimens of currency.

Numismatics is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. Numismatic value may be used to refer to the value in excess of the monetary value conferred by law.

TPG High-Grade Bias?

I don't know if this is mere "coin guy legend" or if it's true, so I thought I'd ask...

Is it true TPGs have a bias against other TPGs high-grade coins during crossover?

In other words, do they grade harder if they see a 66 - 70 on crossover than they do lesser graded coins or is every coin approached objectively and fairly?

Inherited a 1943 Copper Penny - but it's worthless?

I recently inherited a bunch of coins and included among them is a 1943 copper wheat penny.

I took all the coins to a local coin shop and the guy picked out some morgan and liberty dollars and said they had some value and then looked briefly at the penny and said it was worth 100k. He then paused and said "no, wrong metal - it's worth 1.5 cents. It's clearly copper..what am i missing?

What do families do when they find the big box of coins from Grandpa?

So I have inherited a big box of coins from my grandpa. There is some pure silver, morgan dollars and lots of pre 1964 quarters. Those I can cash in easily. What I'm more interested in are the pennies. I've got Indian head pennies from the 1800s, steel WWII pennies, a 1909 VDB (which is apparently valuable) and so on. There's also lots of Buffalo Head Nickels, pre wwII dimes....and so on. I just called a coin dealer and he wasn't interested in anything but the silver. So if a coin dealer isn't interested in these other coins are they all functionally worthless? One of the coins is an uncerculated 1943-s and the good old internet says it could be worth as much as $5,000. Is there a trusted service where I can send all these to be graded and valued?

Coin collection app

Hello everyone. I'm just an amateur coin collector, who happened to gather some dozens of old and new coins from my family and organize them in a collection.

So, I wanted an app to digitalize my collection and have it on my phone, so I can easily identify which Euro coins I have and which I don't while out of home. It could also serve to show my collection to someone on the spot, without having to carry the collection with me.

I found Coiniverse. It's a good app, but doesn't have a complete catalog (I can manually add those extra coins easily , though), has some bugs and glitches. It serves my purpose, so I wanna ask: does anyone know a better app, that is simple enough for an amateur? What do you think of Coiniverse?
