Coin catalogue / research web site suggestions

[littlesilvervw]

Hi,

When i am buying a coin i like research it using google, TSF and my favourite site is Numista as it has detailed specifications on the coin and pics. But some coins i have looked for aren't on there, i was wondering if anybody had any suggestions of other reliable coin catalogues or methods of researching coins.

Depends on the coins, you need to be more specific.

Numista and NGC are the two largest in the world. Can you give us an example?

My collection  is quite varied, for example i bought a collection of used silver coins off here from various different countries. I also like American silver eagles, morgan & peace dollars etc. I have collected a large number of commemorative unc coins from various common wealth countries.

I can't think of any specific examples that i couldn't find as some of the coins i tried to research i didn't buy. I have only been collecting since Nov-19, just a bit paranoid about buying buying a fake etc or over paying. 

i was looking into the American Landmarks 2oz silver round series today, obviously didn't expect numista to have info on that as it is a round. But it did get me wondering where everyone else gets details on coins from as there is so many different factors that can affect a coins value.

thank you for the NGC suggestion it looks a good site.

Information on rounds such as the American landmark series and Elemetal Privateer series was best obtained from US dealer websites such as Apmex and Provident to name a couple.
