Hey guys, I recently found this app and been trying it out but wondering if you'd say its at all accurate. Not sure if names are allowed so cut them out for now, but here Ill share my example. To add a little more detail,when a coin is uploaded, they give you the first part of the grade according to what they think but dont give the numbers. Wouldn't know what grade itd be so left it as MS, so I'm sure price varies if set the numbers. It also doesn't pick up any errors or let you even enter if they have any so its just for standard coins with nothing special about it. Here is the photo of coin I uploaded and the price they say it'd go for with given details.   |

What does the app return if you click on the more precise results button?

The surface looks a bit "bright" or "flat" in a way that could suggest light cleaning...
In my opinion, as for the grade numbers you are looking for, Very Fine (VF30) to Extremely Fine (EF/XF40).

The app isn't accurate. I wouldn't trust it. Pictures aren't the best, but I don't think it's in MS condition like the app said.

However, with the rapid advances in AI, I think we'll get to a point in the not-too-distant future where some grading apps may be fairly reliable, but the "eye appeal" factor I believe will always be a wild card when it comes to pricing.

@Kacinicole17 you could test the app's accuracy by using pics of graded coins and comparing the results. I'd feed it some AU55s and 58s and see if it grades them MS.

Does this app charge any fees? This is actually kinda scary - if apps do all your grading and price calculations there will be no incentive at all for younger people to read up and learn through experience.
I can hear it now - Dealer: "I will sell you this coin for $400"
Kid looking at his phone: "My app says it's only worth $175"

The photos I added weren't the best as I was just trying it out for the first time, I can add better photos if wanted fo see it better. It is in really good shape but cant say it hasn't been cleaned, just know I haven't and have had it for many years. But I wouldnt give it an MS especially off the photo added. The app is free up to the point I got, and can sell to all others using the app similar to selling on ebay or etc but have the option to get it appraised which isn't free. When I click on more precise results, it takes me to a page to add more photos, and a box to type any description/details about the coin to send and pay for an appraisal. I mean, if they want to let me sell it for that amount then I'm in& best deal Ill prob get . |

I don't think the grade can be determined by these photos. If forced to guess, I agree with most here that it is not MS.

I agree the coin can not be accurately from these photos. The app appears like a gimmick to generate revenue as the app prices the coin in the MS65 plus range.

All of these apps are trash.
