About This Site

CoinCollectingTools.com was created to give collectors clear, practical resources for organizing, understanding, and enjoying their collections without unnecessary complexity.

Coin collecting is a hobby built on history, patience, and attention to detail. Yet many collectors still rely on basic spreadsheets, notebooks, or cell phone photos to track their coins, precious metals, and progress. I did too, and while I prefer to collect full sets, I rarely use the old school blue folders to help track dates and coin types. This site and it’s add-ons exist to solve that problem by providing digital resources and tools designed specifically for coin collectors and stackers.

Why It Exists

As a collector myself, I noticed a common frustration in the hobby:


Using the blue folder poses a risk to your coins but without it, it can be tricky to ensure you get every date in a set - I enclose my coins in 2x2 folds to be housed in a binder. Regardless of your preference, it’s most likely impossible to keep your collections on-hand at all times. Therefore it’s not uncommon to forget what dates or coin types you need while shopping or discussing with friends.

CoinCollectingTools.com and the StackHub mobile app aim to assist collectors by offering:

  • Digital and printable coin collection checklists

  • Dates and mintages for all U.S. coinage series’

  • A wide variety of type set options to explore

  • Information and guides for precious metals stackers

  • Digital tools that make organization easier and more accurate

The goal is simple: help collectors spend less time tracking data and more time enjoying the hobby.

StackHub Mobile App

In addition to educational content and free printable checklists, CoinCollectingTools.com is also home to StackHub, a collection tracking app designed for coin collectors and precious metals stackers. I have a background in web design with years of experience in creating web-based applications.

StackHub allows users to:

  • Use digital checklists for U.S. coinage

  • Track your physical precious metals in the exact way you stack them

  • Upload photos and details of the exact coins you own

  • Discover new coins and type sets to go after in your searches

  • Take your entire collection on-the-go to share with your friends and reference when needed

These tools were built specifically for collectors — not adapted from generic inventory or finance apps.

Independent & Collector-Focused

CoinCollectingTools.com is independently owned and operated. The content and tools on this site are created with the collector community in mind; this is not another cash-grabbing ‘coin ID app’. I spent months of time compiling the data for all U.S. coinage into a single spreadsheet and taking off with the website & app from there. I also post coin collecting and precious metals content regularly on YouTube and TikTok - @CentsMakeDollars

Ongoing Updates & Improvements

Coin collecting is constantly evolving, and so is this site. New guides, tools, type sets, and features are added regularly as the hobby changes and new idea arise.

Feedback from collectors is always welcome and helps shape future updates.
