Included with SpotPro

AI Inventory Builder

Not just identification. SpotPro builds the inventory record for you. Photograph it. Identify it. Price it. Describe it. Crop it. Add it to inventory — usually in less than a minute. Then sell it at the counter, on ExtraCoins, wholesale, or auction. Same stock. $0 of the sale goes to SpotPro.

This is not CoinSnap and not a generic “what coin is this?” toy. Collector apps stop at a name. SpotPro builds the inventory record: identify, shop buy/sell, sold comps, sales description, cropped listing photos, then tap Add to inventory. The same vision that reads a coin or a United States note is wired into Coin lookup, New Inventory Item, your Greysheet keys, your purchase presets, master premiums, junk buckets, sold comps (auction houses and eBay), and the stock ticket you already use.

Naming the piece is the first second. The money is why a dealer uses it: Our buy and Our sell from your shop, then what that type actually sold for. Greysheet is the dealer guide. Sold comps is what people paid. You see both before you write an offer.

Raw is first-class. Front and back of a circulated Morgan, a 2x2, junk silver, a gold piece, or a small-size note. A slab is the same tool plus a label photo. Look up answers “what will we pay / what do we ask / what did it sell for?” Add to inventory in the app is the stocking job: two photos, check the ID, tap Add to inventory — usually in less than a minute. Title, grade, type, prices, cert, sales description, and listing photos cropped onto a white background. Gold or silver bullion is typed as metal so the asking price follows live gold or silver, not a frozen sticker. You still review and tap Add to inventory.

Identify works even before Greysheet keys. Live Bluebook / Grey bid / CPG need the 50 complimentary trial lookups or your own Dealer+ / Pro keys. SpotPro never bills Greysheet usage. Sold comps and shop buy/sell still run. The AI identify step is included in the SpotPro subscription — not a CoinSnap-style extra app, not a per-scan SpotPro fee.

At a glance

What this part of SpotPro is for — in plain English.

Coins and United States notes — photograph or type the name

Your buy and sell — shop premiums, not a generic retail guess

Sold comps on the same card — Lyn Knight, Stack’s, Heritage, eBay when we have the line

Raw coins: front and back — conservative wear grade from the metal

Slabs too: add a label shot; PCGS cert check vs the coin in the holder

Greysheet match (GSID) with Bluebook, bid, and CPG when keys are on

Add to inventory in the app — photos, ID, description, cropped listing photos. Usually less than a minute. You tap Add to inventory.

Two photos: cropped listing photos. Slabs often add coin-from-holder crops (four images).

Gold and silver: typed as bullion so the asking price follows live metal

Or send the same piece to NumisNexus as a buy ticket

How it works at the counter

Same vision. Two jobs. Your numbers.

Why this is not CoinSnap (or a generic ID app)

Collector apps stop at “this looks like an 1881-S Morgan” plus a public retail-ish figure. That number is not your shop. It does not know what you pay for 90% junk, what you add on common silver dollars, what you pay for a small-size $1 silver certificate, or how you mark MS65 vs MS66. It also does not show what that type actually sold for last month.

SpotPro Use AI is inside the dealer system. It names a coin or a United States note, matches the Greysheet-linked catalog you already search by hand, layers your buy and sell, and pulls sold comps onto the same card. Add to inventory in the app saves the piece — usually in less than a minute. Or send it to NumisNexus as a buy. The piece stays in your shop — not in someone else’s hobby app.

  • Your buy / your sell — not a generic Red Book or app estimate
  • Sold comps — auction houses and eBay, not a guessed retail
  • Coins and U.S. notes — Friedberg and catalog lines, not “paper” as an afterthought
  • Photos become inventory media, not a throwaway snap

Look up — scan, price, offer

On a computer, open Apps → Coin lookup and tap Use AI. Scan the QR with the phone (or open the link on that phone). Stay on the desktop page — title, your buy and sell, and sold comps land in the same card as Get prices.

On the phone photograph front and back of a raw coin or a note — that is enough. A 2x2 flip is not a slab. If it is in a PCGS/NGC holder, add a label shot. Or skip photos and type a name (1921 Peace, 1935-A $1 silver certificate, 2018 Libertad) to pick the catalog row. Then write your offer. Send to NumisNexus, or keep the photos for inventory later.

On the phone

Open the members app (/members/app). Add to inventory photographs the piece, shows the ID and your prices, writes the description, crops listing photos, and saves it — usually in less than a minute. Look up is values and offer when you are not stocking yet. Leave Keep me signed in on so the counter phone stays ready.

Your premiums and pricing

The money on the card is shop math. Our buy and Our sell come from the same presets and markups you already set for NumisNexus and inventory — not a one-size collector estimate.

Common circulated 90% can prefer your junk silver melt pay when that is higher (or when the piece is a junk default). Wheat cents can use your bulk bucket. Common silver dollars can add your extra sell dollars on top of junk. Bullion follows spot-plus / master premiums. Collectibles follow Greysheet plus your buy percent and sell markup. Grade steps one family at a time so MS65 and MS66 are not the same ticket.

  • Our buy / Our sell from your POS settings
  • Sold comps next to those numbers — what it actually sold for
  • Junk melt pay vs Greysheet collectible — you see both when it matters
  • You type the offer — AI suggests, you decide

Greysheet integration

Use AI does not replace typed Coin Price Lookup — it feeds it. After identify, SpotPro matches a GSID when it can and pulls Bluebook, Grey Sheet bid, and CPG retail the same way Get prices does, with your margins on top.

Identify still runs if you have not pasted Greysheet keys yet. Live guide numbers need remaining complimentary trial lookups (exactly 50 on platform keys) or your own Dealer+ / Pro credentials in POS Config. SpotPro never bills those lookups. Greysheet bills your keys (typically about $0.002 each) after the trial.

Full Greysheet page →

Sold comps on the same card

After identify, Coin lookup shows recent solds for that coin or note when we have the line — Lyn Knight, Stack’s, Heritage, and eBay. That sits next to Our buy and Our sell. Greysheet tells you the dealer guide. Sold comps tells you what people paid.

A collector app never does this. A name plus a guessed retail is not a buy decision. Staff can open the full Sold comps desk (Quick reference → Sold comps) for more sales; the lookup card is the counter version. Included with SpotPro. Public explainer: soldcomps.us.

Shop-smart identify

The model is instructed like a counter person, not a generic image labeler. Raw coins are the main case: it reads the date and legends on the metal, ignores wishful Sharpie on a 2x2, and gives a conservative wear grade (G through AU — you can step MS/PR after). A cardboard flip is not a slab.

If it is in a holder, photograph the label too. The printed year, grade, cert, and designations (FB, DCAM, Enhanced Finish) win over a guess from the coin face. On a PCGS slab, SpotPro also checks that cert number with PCGS. If the number is not in their files, or PCGS has a different coin on that cert, Coin lookup and Use AI both flag it. A fake holder that copies a real cert for the same type of coin can still pass a number check — the plastic is not proven genuine. Boxed proof and mint sets are sets, not a G4 coin. Metal comes from what the piece is (Morgan = silver, gold dollar = gold) — never from photo color.

Private rounds and bars that copy Walking Liberty or Morgan stay generic bullion. American Gold Eagles use the face-value size (G$50 is 1 oz, G$25 is 1/2 oz). Incuse Indian gold is not a Saint-Gaudens $20. Better dates and keys get a careful-review flag. If the piece should be weighed, the phone can say so before you pay.

Add to inventory in the app

Open Add to inventory on the members app. Two photos. Check the ID, qty, cost, and sell. Tap Add to inventory. The app writes a sales description and crops listing photos onto a white background — desk gone, coin or note on a white square. On a slab, the coin is also cropped out of the holder, so you often get four listing images from those two shots. The whole job is usually less than a minute. You still tap Add to inventory — AI does not auto-stock and does not auto-list ExtraCoins or auction.

If the piece is gold or silver bullion (Eagle, Maple, generic round, and so on), it is typed as bullion with metal, weight, and premium so the asking price follows live gold or silver — not a frozen sticker. Junk 90% uses face and your junk pay. Collectibles keep shop premiums. Same photos can still go to NumisNexus as a buy ticket instead. The computer New Inventory Item form is still there if you want extra fields.

Common questions

Short answers dealers ask before they try this on the floor.

Does it do notes, or only coins?
Coins and United States notes. Photograph the note (or type the series / Friedberg). You get your shop buy and sell plus sold comps when we have the line — the same card as a coin. Goldbacks are gold bullion, not paper: stock those under type Goldbacks, not Notes.
Is this just identifying the coin?
No. Naming the piece is the first second. The job is a sale-ready inventory record in the app: your shop buy and sell, sold comps, a written sales description, cropped listing photos, and — for gold or silver — live metal pricing. Usually less than a minute. A collector ID app stops at a name plus a generic number.
How long does add to inventory take?
Usually less than a minute: two photos, check the ID, tap Add to inventory. Identify can take a bit longer on a slow connection. You still review before it stocks.
What happens to the two photos?
They become cropped listing photos: desk gone, coin or note on a white background. On a slab, the coin is also cropped out of the holder — often four listing images from two shots (cropped holder front and back, plus coin front and back). Raw coins and notes get those cropped listing photos from the two shots you took.
Does gold or silver follow the market after AI?
Yes when the piece is typed as bullion. The form gets metal, weight, and premium so the asking price follows live gold or silver on the counter and connected channels. Junk 90% uses face and your junk pay. You still tap Add to inventory.
Does it work on raw coins, or only slabs?
Raw coins are the daily path. Photograph front and back. SpotPro reads the metal and gives a conservative wear grade. A 2x2 or vinyl flip is not a slab. If the piece is in a PCGS/NGC holder, add a label shot for cert and printed grade. Same tool either way.
Does it check a PCGS slab against the cert?
Yes. Coin lookup and Use AI (add to inventory) read the PCGS cert number and check it with PCGS. If the number is not in their files, or PCGS has a different coin on that cert, you see it before you pay or stock. A fake holder using a real cert for the same type of coin can still pass a number check.
Is this CoinSnap?
No. CoinSnap is a collector ID app (a name plus a generic retail guess). SpotPro Use AI is inside your shop software: coins and U.S. notes, your premiums, sold comps, then a filled inventory form with cropped photos. The piece stays in SpotPro.
Does SpotPro charge per scan?
No. Identify is included with the SpotPro subscription. Live Greysheet guide numbers still use the 50 complimentary trial lookups, then your greysheet.com keys. SpotPro never bills Greysheet usage.
Do I need Greysheet keys?
Not to identify the piece. Yes for live Bluebook / Grey bid / CPG after the complimentary trial lookups. Bullion and junk pay can still come from your shop presets and melt tables.
Will it auto-save inventory?
No. The app fills the record — fields, sales description, cropped listing photos — and you tap Add to inventory. From Look up, the button is still Save to inventory. AI does not auto-stock. Lookup can keep photos about 7 days for later stocking.
Is this the same as AI Call Attendant?
No. Call Attendant is the optional phone/chat add-on. AI Inventory Builder (Use AI / Add to inventory) is a counter tool in the core SpotPro plan.

What coin shops say

Real dealers. Real floors. Same software we run at The Coin Shop in Brighton.

The TV screen alone was worth it. People walk in, see the current numbers, and relax instead of pulling out their phones to check. Texting customers when new stuff comes in brings them back faster than I expected. Online sales are finally consistent without the usual marketplace headaches. Setup wasn't a nightmare either.

TV boards · SMS

I've tried a few different setups over the years and most of them feel like they were built for regular retail and then someone added "coins" as an afterthought. This one doesn't. Buying is straightforward, the boards are accurate, and the online side doesn't cost us extra every time something sells. Support has been decent when we needed it.

Built for dealers

SpotPro is more than a POS system—it's a lifesaver for our storefront. Running a brick-and-mortar shop is hard work, but SpotPro has brought so much joy back into our daily routine. The counter setup is beautiful and intuitive, and the way it handles our inventory seamlessly across platforms feels effortless. The team behind SpotPro clearly understands the heartbeat of small businesses. They protect our data, answer our calls at any hour, and have given us the tools to thrive in a digital world without losing our personal touch. We are incredibly grateful.

Counter · inventory

After six months I can say it's made us more organized and a bit more profitable. Counter is faster, the website actually moves product, and texting customers about new arrivals works better than email ever did. The price displays help a lot with trust. We're not going back to the old way.

Counter · store

I've been in this business long enough to be tired of software that doesn't get how we actually work. SpotPro finally does. Buying at the counter and at shows is way faster now, the prices on the big screen stay current so customers stop arguing, and the online store actually sells without nickel-and-diming us on fees. It's just made the whole shop run smoother.

Counter · TV · store

Busy shop plus shows was always a juggling act. This system handles both without forcing us to keep separate lists or files. Stock stays consistent, labels are easy, and the online and wholesale pieces don't fight with the counter. It just feels practical. Happy we switched.

Shop + shows

Wasn't looking for another system, but a buddy talked me into trying it. Glad he did. Inventory, labels, counter, and the website all stay in sync for once. Customers trust the prices more because they update themselves, and the scrap gold tool is simple enough that even my part-timers don't mess it up. It's been a solid upgrade.

Inventory · scrap

The text messaging service keeps our customers in the loop for new inventory. It's a great tool for letting customers know what's going on.

Messaging

We've been really impressed with SpotPro's features, like the gold coin database. This thing saves a ton of time. Highly recommend!

Reference tools

Since we started using SpotPro, we've noticed a significant change in how we do things. Real-time pricing and the POS Display have really helped. I'd definitely suggest giving it a try if you're in the business.

Live pricing

The Scrap Gold table has made purchasing scrap gold super easy. New customers never question our prices.

Scrap gold

Labels and inventory used to eat up way too much of the day. Now it's quick, the pricing stays current, and we can reprice stuff without starting from scratch every time the market moves. People comment on how professional the screens look. It's just less friction day to day.

Labels · inventory

I do a lot of shows and still keep the shop open, so I needed something that works in both places. Tracking buys by location, printing clean receipts, and keeping stock straight has been a relief. The online store and the wholesale side both pull from the same inventory, which cuts down on the usual double-entry mess. Feels like it was made by someone who's actually done this job.

Shows · wholesale

We've been with SpotPro for 5 years, and it's been a Godsend for our shop. The standout? Definitely the Point of Sale Display. Also the text messaging — a quick notification after new stock and customers come calling.

TV boards · SMS

We used to bounce between a couple different programs and still end up with mistakes. Now everything's in one place and it just works. The price boards look professional, customers notice, and the directory listings have brought in a few new faces. Staff picked it up pretty quick. For what we pay, it's more than paid for itself.

One system

Online was always a pain for us until this. Having our own little store with live prices that actually update has made a difference. No weird fees eating into the margins. Counter work is cleaner too, and the text alerts when we get new stock are simple but effective. Customers respond to them.
