Stackore keeps track of what your metals and coins are actually worth, without a spreadsheet. Add whatever you own — there are 575 coins, bars, and jewelry types in the catalog. Everything is priced off live spot for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and you get three numbers most trackers won't show you: melt value, the premium you're carrying above it, and what a refiner would actually pay you. Set a stacking goal (500 oz of silver, 5 oz of gold, whatever you're working toward) and the progress bar fills as you add metal. Your average cost per ounce sits right next to spot, so you know exactly where your break-even is. Want to know when silver hits $40? Set an alert and you'll get a notification the moment it crosses. If you're into numismatics, over 30 series are priced by year, mint, and grade, from Morgans to half crowns to Caballitos, with key dates flagged. Once a coin's details are entered it shows up in your lists by name, like "1887-S Morgan Dollar AU55". Shipwreck cobs, ancients, and old poured bars get condition-based estimates, and series with a counterfeit problem are marked. You can track cost basis and gains, sort everything into stacks, watch the gold/silver ratio, and sell with one tap at spot or your refiner's rates. Free on iPhone. Values are estimates based on public market research. Stackore isn't affiliated with any grading service or price guide, and isn't investment advice.
