CoinManage

Editor's Review

CoinManage 2009 is a true giant of an application, allowing users to track and record almost every possible characteristic of their coin collection. From completion checklists to built-in condition and valuation tools, serious coin collectors and hobbyists have almost everything they could need at their disposal with an installation of CoinManage 2009.

While the CoinManage 2009 user interface is somewhat simple and dull, the navigational system itself is highly impressive. Users can choose from over 30 fields for recording information about their coins, ranging from size and weight, all the way down to coin condition and potential defects. Designed to provide a complete platform for valuing and buying coins, CoinManage 2009 lets users apply their specific data to coin value and purchase price.

Despite the somewhat simplistic appearance, CoinManage 2009 has a relatively thick installation and can be quite a resource hog. Over 1300 coin images are included, which add some expected weight to the software's installation size. With all coins from 1793 to today included in the application, it's unlikely that users will have any issues with compatibility and software depth.

Users can search through eBay for rare coins using CoinManage 2009's built-in tools, and even apply rough valuations to their own coin collection. It's clear that CoinManage 2009 was designed for enthusiasts, and as a serious coin management application it definitely meets the needs of a dedicated collector. While some users have reported issues with Liberty Street support, most appear highly enthusiastic about CoinManage 2009.
