Question

im talking about a website that u can go to and u type in its features and it comes up with a estimated cost

if not any answers accepted thank you

Answer 1

There is no such web site. No one has yet to come up with a fool proof system to grade coins by computer. There are more than one system and your eye and mine are not the same. Grade and rarity are how the value of a coin is determined. To actually be a numismatist, one has to have a large library of books and do a lot of studying. Any one can be a coin collector, not saying that is bad. To set a collecting goal and actually reach it, is not always easy. True coin collector as well as most people that collect items, find there is no quick fix to any of it. Most is hard but enjoyable work and keeping up with things is hard. You need a couple of books to help you out. One is a Red Book a guide to U.S. Coins $14.95 wire bound edition. Forget the prices in it they are out of date the day the book goes on sale each year. You don't need on each year. It will tell you where the mint marks are, as well as give you basic grading. To learn more about grading get the ANA grading guide also around $14.95. For pricing get one of the monthly magazines like Coins or Coinage. They have price guides. They are retail so you need to deduct 40% or so if you sell the coins to a dealer. Try to buy at less than the magazine also. There is more you can do after you digest the books and magazine. Ask a whats next question here at Yahoo answers and I will tell you.

Answer 2

there is no really free site. The ones out there are dealers trying to sell coins and you won't get that kind of money. Your best bet besides a couple of coin dealers is a Coinage or Coins magazine, even though they list a retail prices they give you an idea of the coins worth and they have values for almost all U.S. coins in one place. Expect to get 40% to 50 % less from a dealer. Atleast you will have some knowledge of what you have. If some one offers you say $5 for a coin you have that lists for say $100 in grade good you know he is a crook.

Answer 3

I've been collecting for many years and do not know of an online estimate site. I buy the "Guide Book of United States Coins" The closest I can think of, on site, would be NumisMedia.com Other than that, a trip to a coin shop is in order. keeping in mind they will not offer you true collectible values, especially if they intend to resell the coin. Kinda like a used car. Good luck. If you have a specific coin you're interested in, let me know and I'll look it up in my book.

Answer 4

Have been selling my collection in the past several years,and I have never found a website like the one you seem to be trying to find.Go to e-bay or other sites thatr list coins for sale and that will give you an amount to work with.Of course you could just go to a dealer and ask about it.Most sites wont quote a price because they change so often.We could both have the same coin and one could be much more that the other.It's condition.age and even color all go into the value.#1 is how rare are they&is there a demand.Good luck!
