So, we have developed a series of apps to allow you to do just that. This app will provide the ability for the user to organize, track and manage their collection of coins. Images of each coin can be included with the collection. There is also a means within the app for the user to peruse all of the images in an entertaining manner. The app has three (3) color themes which help to make the app more enjoyable. A running tally of the cost for the entire collection is provided. A want list is also included in the app to allow you to ear-mark coins that you are searching for.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WHRB at none against Mercury Dime's 1. WHRB also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (22 vs 2). Mercury Dime's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 110 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
