Stack’s Bowers Galleries is now offering its Coins in Motion (CIM) technology directly to collectors and dealers, allowing individual rarities, complete collections, and dealer inventories to be transformed into high-definition video animations. This patented service captures coins in stunning 4K detail, delivering a lifelike experience that static images cannot match.
Collectors can use these high-resolution videos to study, organize, and share their holdings without the risks of handling, while dealers gain an edge by showcasing coins with dynamic visuals that enhance buyer confidence. Optimized for everything from large displays to smartphones, CIM provides an immersive way to enjoy prized numismatic pieces every day.
"Coins in Motion is extremely popular with Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ consignors and buyers alike," stated Christine Karstedt, Executive Vice President. "It provides beautifully detailed images for hobbyists whose focus is not only on rarity but on the visual characteristics of the coin. No other imaging service fills that need in the same manner."
Currently, Coins in Motion is available for certified coins from PCGS, NGC, or CACG, offering three video formats to suit different needs:
- 4K MP4 Video – A high-resolution video that captures every intricate detail of the coin, ensuring a comprehensive visual experience.
- CIM Card – A specialized animation that includes additional details about the coin, making it ideal for social media sharing.
- 1080p HD MP4 Video – A standard high-definition option designed for everyday viewing and sharing.
