After that, this indispensable app will then be available free only for those with a PCGS CoinFacts subscription.

“This is the coolest piece of software we’ve ever done,” declared Don Willis, President of Professional Coin Grading Service (www.PCGS.com), a division of Collectors Universe, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLCT). “It’s a revolutionary breakthrough for collectors and dealers, and I’m really excited about this!”

All the information and photos hosted on the PCGS CoinFacts website are now immediately available to subscribers on any smart phone, and accessible anywhere the phone works.

“Imagine being at a coin show or an auction and being able to instantly look up coin pricing information, population data and recent auction prices realized about the coin you’re thinking about buying. Of course, this app will be helpful when selling coins as well. We’ve tried to make this as easy to use as possible,” said Willis.
