It connects collectors with more than 110,000 coins already listed online.

There's no need for a collector to repeatedly check the web site or search through all the listings because we do it for them everyday," explained Cassi East, President of CCE, a division of Collectors Universe, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLCT).

"The website is free to all collectors, there is no fee to post your Wish List, and there is no commission or fee when a successful match is made with a listed coin, so collectors can get a great deal as well as fast service," said East.

"Because CollectorsCorner.com is connected to the CCE member-dealers, those collectors using the Wish List or any other feature of the website can know that the seller of any listed coin is a member in good standing of the largest, most respected wholesale exchange in the world."
