[QUOTE="redeyelou, post: 2797704, member: 88217"]PCGS has Photograde, Price Guide, and CoinFacts apps which are helpful and include some of the major varieties. As far as all varieties, that would take a group to develop the app, with funding to do so, and then a trusted group to provide a database of pics and info.
