We use market values derived from many sources such as auction prices realized (online such as eBay & more traditional auction houses), dealers buy & sell lists, printed price lists, online stores & sites etc. We monitor changes in precious metal prices and these are accounted for in our calculations. Sources such as PCGS Price Guide and NGC Price Guides reflect real-time valuations and are a great source of current values for your reference.
But always keep in mind these are all relative values & the real value is determined by market conditions at the time you decide to sell. The market always determines the real value.

Use PCGS Photograde™ Online
With PCGS Photograde™, you can obtain the approximate grade of your coin by comparing it to the photo that most closely matches its appearance. After you’ve done that, you can go to the PCGS Price Guide to get a ballpark idea of how much the coin is worth.
For a definition of each coin grade to help you decide what to look for, please refer to the PCGS Grading guide

We receive many inquiries from customers who have purchased a new PC & want to move their EzCoin to the new PC.
This is a relatively simple process.

You will need the following to properly move EzCoin to a NEW PC

1) Original Installation Media (Downloads or CD/DVD/USB) . If you purchased downloads, you were to make copies of the downloads to a flash drive in case of re-installation.
2) Your activation code for EzCoin & any add-on modules ( Cloud backup etc)

STEP 1
On the OLD PC, do an ALL Files BACKUP in EzCoin & place the backup onto a flash drive. EzCoin backups are made of 2 files ( a zip & cfg file. Both are required) . Watch this video on how to do an EzCoin Backup    BACKUP & RESTORE Training Video

If you have the  Cloud Backup  option, backup to the cloud from the OLD PC.

STEP 2
On the NEW PC, install EzCoin from the original media or downloads. Then activate EzCoin from the Help Menu. Download installations will automatically place the images where they belong.

STEP 3
Insert the Flash Drive from STEP 1 & perform an EzCoin Restore (Go to File, Country DataFile utilities, Restore From Backup)

If you backed up to the cloud, do a Cloud Restore.

Your copy of EzCoin is now on the NEW PC with all your data
