Quick answer A coin price tracker records what a collectible coin has sold for over time and shows those changes on a chart. MyCoinage is a free UK coin price tracker covering 4,704+ British coins, grade by grade. Every price is a realised sale from eBay UK, eBay US, Spink, Baldwin’s, Noonans or Onebid, not a dealer estimate. Free members see the summary statistics on every coin and can open three full price graphs a day; Pro members get unlimited graphs, price alerts and a dated PDF export.

Why a coin price tracker is different from a price guide

A price guide tells you what a dealer thinks a coin is worth. A price tracker tells you what buyers actually paid. The difference matters, especially when a coin is selling for 20% below guide (good for buyers) or 30% above guide (good for sellers).

A serious coin price tracker does three things a printed guide cannot:

  • Shows the last sale. Not a blended estimate, not a catalogue figure, but the most recent hammer price or verified eBay sold listing.
  • Plots the trend. A 30-day change and a 90-day average tell you whether a coin is rising, falling or flat, before you buy or sell.
  • Stores the history. Every sale we have on record for a coin at a given grade, going back years, in one chart.

The PCGS Price Guide and the NGC World Coin Census are excellent references for US and world coins respectively, but both publish estimated retail values rather than transaction data. MyCoinage is realised-sales only, and UK-focused.

How MyCoinage compares to other coin price sources

UK collectors usually triangulate between a couple of sources. Here is how MyCoinage sits against the main names, scored on what kind of number each one publishes and whether it costs money to access.

Realised sales Yes Estimates Estimates Member entries Guide values Yes (eBay only)

For a UK collector who cares about today’s actual selling price rather than a printed estimate, the useful triangulation is MyCoinage for realised prices, Spink for catalogue authority, and NGC or PCGS population reports for grade scarcity.

How to track a coin’s price in five minutes

You do not need to own a coin to track its price. Adding it to a watchlist is free and takes about as long as opening your laptop.

01

Find the coin

Search the 4,704+ coin catalogue by denomination, year, monarch or mint.

02

Pick the grade

Prices split by grade: Extremely Fine is not the same as Brilliant Uncirculated. The grading guide explains each tier.

03

Read the summary

Latest sale, 90-day average, 30-day change, all-time range. Free on every coin, no sign-up required.

04

Open the full graph

Free members get three full historical graphs a day. Pro members get unlimited graphs.

05

Set a price alert (Pro)

Pick a target price. We email when a realised sale crosses it, either up or down.

How MyCoinage verifies every price

Publishing realised sales is only useful if the sales are real. Every price entering the database passes through three checks before it shows up on a coin page.

  • Automated verification. A script flags denomination mismatches, country mismatches, obvious typos and outliers above or below a statistical range for that coin and grade.
  • Grade sanity check. Raw-coin descriptions are matched against UK and Sheldon scales; slabbed-coin entries are cross-checked against NGC or PCGS cert numbers where supplied.
  • Manual review queue. Flagged entries, disputed sales and all member submissions land in an admin queue reviewed by our editor before publication.

Asking prices, active listings, BIN prices with no buyer, and dealer “retail” numbers are rejected on principle. The grading guide explains the scales used; every coin page lists the sources and dates behind the figures displayed.

Coin price tracker FAQ

What is a coin price tracker?
A coin price tracker is a tool that records the market value of collectible coins over time and shows you how those values change. MyCoinage tracks every British coin in the catalogue at each major grade, plotting every realised sale and summarising trends: the latest price, the 30-day change, the 90-day average and the all-time high and low. It lets a collector answer questions like "is my 1902 sovereign worth more than last year?" with a chart rather than a guess.
Where does the price data come from?
Every figure on the site is a realised sale, meaning a transaction where the coin actually changed hands at that price. Sources include eBay UK and US (verified sold listings), Spink, Baldwin's and Noonans (hammer prices from published auction catalogues), Onebid (European auction aggregator) and member submissions that pass through an admin verification queue. Asking prices, active listings and dealer catalogue numbers are deliberately excluded.
Is the UK coin price tracker free?
Yes, with sensible limits. Free members get grade-by-grade price tables on every coin, see the latest sale and summary statistics, and can open three full historical price graphs per day. Pro (from £2.99/month) unlocks unlimited graphs, price alerts, the insurance-grade PDF export and full data-source attribution on every price.
How often are prices refreshed?
eBay sold listings are refreshed continuously throughout the day. UK auction-house hammer prices (Spink, Baldwin's, Noonans) refresh weekly as new catalogues are published. Metal spot prices, used for bullion coins, refresh hourly from the Stooq live feed. Your watchlist alerts are evaluated within an hour of each price update.
Can I see coin price history going back years?
Yes. The price graph on each coin page shows every sale we have on record for that coin at that grade, typically going back three to five years for popular series and further for high-value coins with long auction histories. The all-time-range line shows the highest and lowest sales ever recorded.
How does the price tracker handle coin grades?
Every sale is recorded at the grade it sold at, using the Sheldon 1 to 70 scale for slabbed coins and the UK descriptive scale (Fine, Very Fine, Extremely Fine, About Uncirculated, Uncirculated, Brilliant Uncirculated, Proof) for raw coins. The coin page shows a table with one row per grade, each with its own latest sale, average and change figures. See the grading guide for the full scale.
Can I set price alerts on a British coin price tracker?
Yes. Pro members can add any coin at any grade to a watchlist and set a target price. When a realised sale crosses that target, either up or down, an email alert goes out within an hour. Alerts are useful for collectors waiting for a buying opportunity on a coin that is currently above budget, and for sellers watching for a favourable market window.
How is MyCoinage different from the PCGS Price Guide or NGC Census?
PCGS and NGC publish estimated retail values based on grader expertise and dealer input. Those numbers are useful as guidance but are not transaction data. MyCoinage only publishes realised sales: the actual pounds paid at auction or on verified marketplaces. The two are complementary, not identical. PCGS and NGC are strongest for US coins; MyCoinage is purpose-built for UK coins.
Does the price tracker cover pre-decimal coins?
Yes. Pre-decimal coverage includes farthings, halfpennies, pennies, threepences, sixpences, shillings, florins, half-crowns, crowns and sovereigns from Victoria to Elizabeth II, plus earlier monarchs where auction data is available. The 1933 penny, the 1905 halfcrown and other key rarities each have their own dedicated price page.
Can I export coin prices for my own records?
Pro members can download a CSV of every price on any coin page, and a full inventory PDF with current values for every coin in their collection. The PDF is dated, timestamped and uses realised prices, which is exactly what a home-contents insurer or a specialist numismatic policy wants to see.
