1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Software But Extremely Poor Software/Coin Pricing/Update Support, September 17, 2010

This is a warning to those that are considering purchasing CoinManage. While the software itself is excellent software, support and coin price updates are now non-existent. The company's message boards have been taken down, advising that they are checking "functionality." I can only assume that the message boards were removed due to the numerous complaints and unanswered questions that appeared on them. Check the company's (Liberty Street Software) Better Business Bureau rating, and you will see that it is an "F" on a scale from A to F.

I have used CoinManage for approx. 8 years, and have most of my numismatic collection entered into the software. In the past, while coin price updates were not as timely as they should have been, there were two, three, or more updates per year. Now, however, due to the total lack of updates (the last price update was in December of 2009), I am forced to consider other software, such as Pro-Coin, which means several weeks of re-entering coins into the new software. If you can live without coin price updates, bullion value updates, and a total lack of support, then this software will probably work well for you - it is good software with a ton of things it can do. If you require timely coin price updates, etc., which is a major need for most numismatic collectors, stay away from this software.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed !!!, October 15, 2010

By 

Danny Molla (Lebanon, OH, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CoinManage 2011 - Coin Collecting - Numismatic CD For Collectors: Manage Your Coin Collection (Windows Software) (CD-ROM)

Richards comment says it all. I've also been a Coin Manage user for many years. It was a pretty good application with a couple updates a year. Then all of a sudden no updates, no 2010 version, no answers to questions. Then they came out with the 2011 version. I purchased it thinking that my coin values would be updated, nope, I was wrong. Some coins were added, but the values are the same as the 2009 version. Still no answer to questions, some coins you can't assign any values to them, you have to go elsewhere find the value and enter it in manually. It's a good software if you are not planning on having your coin values updated, but I'm also going to look elsewhere. It was a waste of my $$$ to update to the 2011 version. In my opinion, the company has gone downhill and support is non-existent, a waste of time.
If anyone has any suggestions for a replacement, I'd very much like to hear some opinions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!!, August 13, 2009

I was very disappointed in this product. I can't believe customers would rate it 5 stars. It looks and acts like it was written by a my neighbor down the street who is studying to be a programmer. And, he is 19 years old!

One problem is that the categories cannot be changed or new categories added. I have krugerrands and Austrian ducats which I would like to track along with my coin collection. I realize these have little to no numismatic value but the only way to track them along with my collection is to list them in a misc. category which cannot be renamed to reflect the type of coin.

The photos of many coins are inaccurate and in many cases missing. The list of international coins is very scarce. It is not easy to use and understand - you have to really get into this program and almost "live it" to understand it. Finally, the help is no help. It directed me to a web site that no longer exists.

I would not recommend this program.
