Is there a better app than CoinSnap?
CoinSnap or Matkun, will identify most coins for you, but I would only use them for identification, not pricing. The Red Book is best, but only for US coins. I use “Coinoscope.com” for identification.
How do I find out what my coins are worth?
I can help with that. Hire a professional appraiser to grade your coins and tell you how much it is worth. The American Society of Appraisers and International Society of Appraisers have searchable directories of professional appraisers. A dealer might also be able to help.
