Coin Price Lookup at the Counter

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1 Open Greysheet Lookup

   In the left sidebar, click Apps → Greysheet Lookup. Keep this tab open on a secondary monitor or tablet behind the counter for quick reference during customer conversations.

   

2. 2 Search by keyword

   Click the search box at the top. Type a plain-English description — 1881-S Morgan, Buffalo nickel 1937-D, or Peace dollar. Press Enter. Results list matching series and varieties.

3. 3 Search by Greysheet catalog number

   If you know the GSID from a slab label or inventory record, type the catalog number directly in the search box. This returns the exact variety faster than browsing.

4. 4 Click a result to see grades

   Click any result in the list. A grade grid opens showing values for each grade level — from Good through MS70 and Proof. Scroll horizontally if needed to see all grades.

5. 5 Read bid and ask columns

   The Bid column shows wholesale buy prices dealers pay. The Ask or retail column shows what dealers charge. Use bid as your starting point when making an offer to buy from a customer.

6. 6 Read suggested buy and sell

   Below or beside the grid, SpotPro shows Suggested Buy and Suggested Sell based on your wholesale discount and markup settings from POS Config. These are starting points — adjust for condition and market.

7. 7 Compare to your inventory price

   If the coin is already in your inventory, open Point of Sale → Current Inventory in another tab and search the item. Compare your retail price to the Greysheet suggested sell to stay competitive.

8. 8 Use the same data in NumisNexus

   When you add a collectible line in NumisNexus during a shop buy, the same Greysheet values appear automatically. You are not charged twice for the same lookup when you stock the item into inventory.

   

9. 9 Do not hesitate to look things up

   Worried about API costs? Do not be. Greysheet lookups are typically about 0.2¢ each — a hundred counter searches in a day is still only a few dimes. Use Coin Price Lookup whenever you need a guide value.

10. 10 Bookmark for your staff

    Tell counter staff to bookmark Apps → Greysheet Lookup for phone inquiries. Read the suggested sell price to quote a customer, then open Sales Checkout to complete the sale if they visit.
