Coin dealer software for dealer-controlled, itemized purchase offers.
CounterMint™ is coin shop pricing software for the buy side of the counter — the moment somebody walks in with a collection to sell. It organizes an incoming lot line by line, applies the pricing rules you set, shows the market context behind each number, and produces one itemized purchase offer you can hand over and defend.
It is built for professional coin, paper-currency and bullion dealers. Mixed coin lot pricing, bullion buy prices, scrap gold, certified type and raw material all run through the same workflow, at your margins, with a person approving every number.
First month free. Then half price, for life.
The first 50 shops get their first month free, then lock in half price for as long as they stay. No renewal creep, no “founding pricing has ended” email eighteen months from now.
And the rate is the smaller half of it. Fifty dealers shape what gets built next — you say what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s missing, and it ships without breaking the way your shop already runs. You’re grandfathered in as a Founding Dealer for the life of the subscription.
One email when your invite is ready. If you’d rather lock the rate now, see the full offer.
One email when your invite is ready. No spam, and we don’t sell your address.
The paper is where the margin leaks.
The customer waits an hour, often more, while the pile gets worked down with a loupe and a notepad. They leave with a column of abbreviations and a total. Then they do it again at two more shops.
At the kitchen table that night, three sheets of shorthand are supposed to represent a collection. One doesn’t say which number belongs to which piece. One has nothing on it identifying who wrote it. Nothing compares to anything — so they pick the biggest number, or they pick nobody.
Four days later they come back — to the one shop whose name was on the paper. They want nine of the twenty-three, spot has moved, and it all gets priced again by hand while they watch. Then explained, because the number changed. Three hours of skilled work to buy one lot, and two of them produced nothing you can sell.
Meanwhile the customer is driving across town to compare shorthand against shorthand — and the market is moving under all three sheets while they do it. The shop that was highest on Tuesday isn’t by Friday. Often they would have done better taking the first offer, and nobody was in a position to show them that.
None of those hours are necessary. CounterMint prices the lot in minutes instead of hours — every piece itemized, the arithmetic visible, your shop’s name on it — then re-prices itself when spot moves, so the work is never done twice and nobody has to explain why the number changed.
And because yours is the quote they can reopen, compare and accept from the kitchen table, the shop across town has to be worth the drive. Nobody drives an hour back for five dollars. They take the offer that is clear, current, and already in their hand.
Nine behaviors, every one of them bounded by you.
Counter to closed
One photo of the pile, one pass, every coin on its own line
Photograph the whole lot — slabs, flips, a tray of raw silver — and CounterMint separates the pile into individual items, mapping each one to its own quote line. Photo-assisted intake, not autonomous identification.
Each line comes back pre-filled from the details the photograph actually shows: series, year, mint mark, denomination, metal content and weight, plus the grade and holder transcribed from a certification label where one is visible. Melt, premium and your suggested band are calculated alongside it.
It is decision support, not a verdict. Every line waits on your review, and nothing reaches a customer from a photograph without a dealer approving it. CounterMint does not grade, authenticate or appraise — that judgment stays yours.
Set the ingestionVideo tweak to its path
(e.g. media/lot-ingestion.mp4)
The melt floor on line eleven is the same market as line one
Gold, silver, platinum and palladium each refresh under every open quote about once a minute, in your shop’s timezone. A long lot doesn’t drift halfway through.
Each metal carries its own interactive chart — hover for the price at any point, change the window, read the trend before you set a band.
If a feed goes quiet the quote says so rather than guessing.
A $2,400 sale in March and a $2,400 sale in August aren’t the same coin
Spot moved underneath both. Every comp is normalized back to the spot on the day it sold and the metal is stripped out, leaving the real numismatic premium — with outliers fenced statistically rather than by eyeball.
You see the aspirational premium implied by live asking prices beside the realistic one sold comps support. The gap is the conversation, and it’s on screen instead of in an argument.
See the arithmetic →The rules are yours, and they run on every line automatically
100% of melt and 10% of the premium. 20% on prestige pieces. 95% of melt and no premium on generics. Set them once, per series, and every line in every lot inherits them without anyone remembering to apply the policy.
Change a rule and it applies going forward — quotes already issued keep the terms they were written under.
A suggestion, never a decision
Every line arrives with a suggested range from your own rules. Take it, or type your number — the line records both, so you can see later where judgment beat the model and where it didn’t.
Who priced it and who quoted it are stamped on the line, along with the market as it stood at that moment.
Your branding, their inbox, nobody typing an email
Publish the quote and it goes out under your shop’s name — logo, colors, quote number, how long it stays valid, and every line itemized in plain language. You don’t attach anything or copy a link.
Or send it as a text: one button composes the message with the live quote link already in it and hands it to your phone, for you to read and send. Replies come back to the address your shop configures, not to us.
And if they’d rather not give an email or a number at all, print it — the sheet’s Quote ID and PIN reopen the same live quote at quote.countermint.io.
Spot keeps ticking on their copy too
When the market moves, the offer moves with it — inside limits you set per metal: a dead band so noise never touches the number, an upward cap, rounding to your threshold and direction.
A move in the customer’s favor past your cap lands in your review queue by default, not in their pocket by accident. The customer sees the number update and sees why, so nobody has to make that phone call.
Settled from the kitchen table, on your clocks
They accept line by line from anywhere, any time. If counter-offers are on, they’re capped by count and fenced by band — auto-accept inside a percentage you choose, auto-decline past another, everything between comes to a person.
The moment you both agree, the honor window stamps onto the line. Reopening the link never restarts it.
One price. Half of it if you’re early.
$100 a month, everything included — no per-quote fees, no per-seat fees, no setup fee. The first 50 shops pay $50 and keep it.
