CoinScan

CoinScan tells you what a coin is - and what it is actually worth.

Photograph the front and the back. CoinScan reads the numerals, the legend and the mint mark, then names the country, denomination, year and type. Identification needs an internet connection; everything else in the app works offline.

HONEST PRICES, NOT GUESSES

A price is never invented. Every estimate is a range built from real listings on the open market, adjusted downward toward what coins actually fetch - asking prices always run high. Each range carries the source it came from and the date it was gathered.

Where the data is thin, CoinScan says so on the price itself: exact match, same type and year, rough estimate from mintage, or metal value only. It never dresses a guess up as a fact.

VALUE BY GRADE

The same coin in Good and in Mint State are two different coins. CoinScan lays the range out grade by grade - P/FR, G, VG, F, VF, XF, AU, MS60-63, MS64-65, MS66+ - so you can see what condition is worth.

METAL VALUE, CALCULATED EXACTLY

For gold, silver, platinum and palladium coins, CoinScan works out the melt value from the coin's own weight and fineness at the current spot price, and shows you the date of that price. It is arithmetic, not an estimate. Copper and nickel are left out on purpose: they trade in industrial lots, and those quotes say nothing about a single coin.

A CATALOGUE THAT WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL

3,303 coins ship inside the app - 2,243 from the United States and 1,060 from Ukraine - with photographs, years, mintages, weight and composition. Browse them by period, by country or by series at a coin show, in a basement or on a plane. No connection needed.

YOUR COLLECTION

Save what you own with your own photographs and notes, group coins into sets, and see what the whole collection is worth. Export it whenever you like.

FREE AND PREMIUM

The catalogue, the collection, the metal value and the prices are free and staying free, along with 3 identifications a day. Premium raises that to 20 identifications a day. That is the only difference.

The yearly plan opens with 7 free days. Payment is charged to your Google Play account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can cancel any time in Google Play.

Available in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

CoinScan is a research tool, not an appraisal. Prices move, and what a coin fetches in the end depends on the coin in your hand.
