Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## USA Coin Book Scraper - Coin Values & Prices by Grade Scrape **US coin values, price charts, and marketplace listings** from [USA Coin Book](https://www.usacoinbook.com). Get coin prices broken down by **grade** (Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Extremely Fine, About Uncirculated, MS-60, MS-65, Proof PR-63) for every year, mint mark, and variety — plus mintage, melt value, metal composition, designer, and more. Perfect for **coin dealers, numismatists, collectors, arbitrage tools, pricing apps, and price-tracking dashboards**. ### What it does Two modes: #### 1. Coin Values (default) Scrapes the price-by-grade charts for entire coin series. One series page (e.g. Morgan Dollars) yields every year/mint with full grade pricing in a single pass. Returns per coin: - Denomination, series, year, mint mark, variety - Mintage - **Values by grade**: G-4, VG-8, F-12, VF-20, EF-40, AU-50, MS-60, MS-65, PR-63 (USD) - Number of items currently for sale - Coin page URL With **Scrape Coin Detail Pages** enabled, each coin is enriched with: - Metal composition, designer/engraver, diameter, weight - Melt value (live metal value) - Coin image - Estimated-value summary text #### 2. Marketplace Listings Set **Scrape Marketplace Listings** to ON to scrape coins for sale matching your search queries: title, price, seller, condition, certification agency (PCGS/NGC/raw), best-offer / free-shipping flags, image, and listing URL. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array | Series names (coin-values mode) e.g. `["morgan","peace dollar","mercury dime"]`, or free-text searches (listings mode) e.g. `["morgan dollar 1921"]`. Empty = all series. | | `listings` | boolean | OFF = scrape coin values (default). ON = scrape marketplace listings. | | `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Coin-values mode only. Visit each coin page for composition, designer, melt value, image. | | `maxResults` | integer | Max records (0 = unlimited). Default 200. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional proxy. The site has no anti-bot, so a proxy is not required. | #### Example — coin values ```json { "searchQueries": ["morgan dollar", "peace dollar"], "scrapeDetails": false, "maxResults": 200 } ```` #### Example — all coin values with full detail ```json { "searchQueries": [], "scrapeDetails": true, "maxResults": 0 } ``` #### Example — marketplace listings ```json { "searchQueries": ["morgan dollar 1921"], "listings": true, "maxResults": 100 } ``` ### Output sample (coin value) ```json { "recordType": "coin_value", "coinId": "3192", "denomination": "dollars", "series": "morgan", "year": 1879, "mintMark": "P", "variety": null, "mintage": 14807100, "valuesByGrade": { "G-4": 70, "VG-8": 76, "F-12": 82, "VF-20": 89, "EF-40": 94, "AU-50": 102, "MS-60": 124, "MS-65": 725, "PR-63": 4704 }, "estimatedValueAvg": 76, "estimatedValueUncMin": 124, "estimatedValueUncMax": 725, "proofValue": 4704, "itemsForSale": 38, "coinUrl": "https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/3192/dollars/morgan/1879-P/", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-24T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - Series names supported: morgan, peace, lincoln cents, mercury dime, buffalo nickel, walking liberty, barber, seated liberty, and many more across all 22 US denominations. - Prices reflect USA Coin Book's estimated values (numismatic + live precious-metal portion). - Data is for research/informational purposes. Respect USA Coin Book's terms of use. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Coin series / types to scrape. In coin-values mode, each query matches a series by name, e.g. 'morgan', 'peace dollar', 'lincoln cents', 'mercury dime', 'buffalo nickel'. Leave empty to scrape ALL series. In marketplace listings mode, each query is a free-text search, e.g. 'morgan dollar 1921'. ## `listings` (type: `boolean`): When OFF (default), scrapes coin VALUE price charts (prices by grade G/VG/F/VF/EF/AU/MS/PR, mintage, melt value). When ON, scrapes marketplace listings for sale matching your search queries (title, price, seller, condition, certification). ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Coin-values mode only. When ON, visits each individual coin page to add composition, designer, diameter, weight, melt value, image, and estimated-value text. Slower but richer. When OFF, uses the fast series price-chart table. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited (all available). Default is 200. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. USA Coin Book serves data without anti-bot, so a proxy is optional; recommended for large-scale runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "morgan dollar" ], "listings": false, "scrapeDetails": false, "maxResults": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "morgan dollar" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/usacoinbook-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
