Question What app do you use for tracking your collection?

Just curious about what you use and maybe to discover a better app. Since I started collecting coins a few months ago I have used the app in the picture. I think it's easy to use and pretty simple overall.

Let me know what app do you use.

Question Possible mint errors?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I found both standard german coins in circulation, but something looks weird to me.
2004A: Mintmark seems completely filled and the first zero looks like they tried another font.
2002D: another first-zero-error in my pov.

I don‘t expect a premium on this, just wondering what I‘ve found.

Are these mint errors or post mint errors from circulation?

Question Some kind of error?

I found this 2002 German 20-cent coin.

There are these lines on the outer rim, and I’m interested to know whether they are a minting error or just post-mint damage. I’d also like to know if the coin is worth anything more than its face value. I tried searching for information about it, but I couldn’t find anything useful.

Question 2 euro coin Slovenska 2009

Edit: title was meant to say "Slovensko" not Slovenska

Hello,

Is this a more rare find for collectors? I am not interested to put it up for sale or anything, but I have been purposely keeping the coin in my wallet without spending it and I basically just want to know if it's just a standard find, or if it might be worth keeping and maybe someday make a collector happy with it if I ever come across one 🥹.

The other day I was looking for some cash to give the pizza delivery guy as a tip, and my mom noticed this coin and said: might not wanna give that one, I have never seen that one before so it might be rare. It's at least rare for us to see, since most coins in rotation here are from the Netherlands and Germany, and the few ones that stand out for me, I have seen a dozen of times.

(If it matters, I am from the Netherlands. I have no clue where I got it as change, but it must have been either the supermarket or the little cigarette store here. I also want to say that I have no knowledge at all about coins, nor have I ever collected them. I just have an admiration if I see something shiny that I have never seen before and then I get curious about it, wanting to know everything)

Coin Hunt EuroCoin Radar prototype

1 Upvotes

I built a small tool to calculate a maximum bid for €2 Proof / Reverse Proof auctions — looking for collector feedback

Hi everyone,

I collect €2 commemorative coins and I kept running into the same problem when looking at auctions:

A coin may look cheap at €20–30, but once buyer fees, shipping and recent sold prices are considered, it can actually be a bad deal.

So I built a small experimental tool called EuroCoin Radar.

For selected Proof and Reverse Proof €2 auctions it checks:

• current auction price
• buyer fees
• shipping
• recent sold comparable auctions
• estimated fair value
• a conservative maximum bid

It then gives the listing a simple:

🟢 BUY
🟠 WATCH
🔴 PASS

For example, during my latest test I found two identical Belgian SNCB Reverse Proof listings.

One was still attractive around €20.

Another had already reached €65, so the model marked it PASS even though the coin itself is scarce.

I'm currently testing the tool completely free and I'm mainly interested in feedback from actual euro coin collectors.

Would something like this be useful when you buy Proof / Reverse Proof coins, or do you normally calculate this yourself?

I have a small public prototype with three current examples if anyone wants to test it — I'll add the link below.

Any criticism is welcome, especially about the way fair value and maximum bids should be calculated.
