Catalogue App for Coins - Keeping Track of your Collection

[Guest]

I have always tried to catalogue my coins on Excel but i generally forget and lose track no matter how much effort I put into the process. The other day on a Facebook forum i saw a recommendation for an IOS app (it may also be on Google Play) called Mystuff2 which is a generalised expansible database for household items and also collectables and I have now been using it for a few days.

There is a PRO version which costs a few £ on the App store and I would recommend this version.

You can create a Coins section, divide up into groups and categories, specify filters which can be used to allow information by multiple segments of the database, backup to iCLOUD and Family share so your family can see all the details of your booty when you have gone and not sell it for peanuts..

There is no limit to the number of elements of data and just about every data type is provided along with calculated fields based on absolute values or runtime prompts. You can take pictures of each coin and keep them in  the database and you can extend the database dynamically changing field types.

With this you can keep tabs on each coin in terms of buy, sell, value, AGW, melt (calculated) etc...you can see immediately what you have and what you paid for it.

I advise you to setup groups and categories well. Use the Title and Sub-Title Styles. I will upload some pics of my setup below.

I like the thing with the thumbnails and big pictures!

A barcode scanner implementation with NGC and PCGS would be nice

I think your phone will run out of storage 😟

I tested the barcode scanner in the app and it did not work well with NGC or PCGS slabs

Just hope the app is secure and trused.

If you log all your goods along with it recording the GPS location it could send the dev team or a hacker a nice shopping list of things to steal along with the address.

Secure and even on phone protected by passcode and Face ID

PCGS has two modern apps that may be very useful for people. One is called "Set Registry" and basically tracks all my PCGS coin inventory (new and sold, they have barcode scanner built in and can automatically populate coin info), all my sets and rankings/completion level, and supports TrueView images (it's automatic) as well as my own coin or slab photos. The other is called "My Account" which tracks all my orders with PCGS (when my coins are graded it will send a phone notification, which is cool). I find these extremely helpful. All these apps need logins and supports Touch ID/Face ID etc.

NGC's app only does census and verification so far. Hopefully they support these features soon.
