📸 Tips for the Most Accurate Identification
Place the coin on a plain, dark background — black or dark grey works best.
Photograph in natural daylight or under a lamp. Avoid flash — it creates glare and hides detail.
Shoot directly overhead, not at an angle. Keep the coin perfectly flat.
Submit photos of both sides — obverse and reverse — for the most complete identification.
Include a ruler or common coin for scale if you don't know the size.
Make sure the photo is in focus. Even small lettering and symbols matter.
Never clean a coin before photographing — cleaning dramatically reduces value and may obscure identification features.
For very dirty coins, a soft rinse with distilled water (no rubbing) can help — then let dry completely before photographing.
What Collectors & Dealers Say
I found a box of old coins at a garage sale and had no idea what most of them were. Uploaded photos of 30 coins and identified every single one in minutes. Found two that were worth over $200 each. Incredible tool.
Mark K.
Coin Collector
I deal in estates and frequently encounter coin collections I can't identify. This tool has saved me hours of research. The ancient coin identification is particularly impressive — it correctly identified a Roman denarius with the emperor's name.
Sarah R.
Estate Dealer
As a professional numismatist, I was sceptical. But the AI correctly identified an 1893-S Morgan Dollar — one of the rarest US coins — from a photo. Accurate and fast. A genuine tool.
James P.
Numismatist
I use it in class to identify historical coins from different civilisations. Students photograph coins and the AI tells them the empire, the ruler, and the period. Makes ancient history tangible.
Aisha T.
History Teacher
Metal detecting often turns up coins I can't identify in the field. Now I just photograph and upload immediately. Found a hammered medieval silver penny last month — identified within seconds.
Robert C.
Metal Detectorist
My clients often bring in coins hoping they've found something valuable. This tool lets me give them an informed answer on the spot rather than saying 'I'll need to look into that.'
