How to get your clearest match
Coin identification FAQ
Should I photograph both sides?
Yes. Obverse and reverse details together make identification much more reliable; begin with the clearest side and describe the other.
Does this estimate coin value?
No. Market value requires verified variety, authenticity, condition, and current pricing data, so this tool does not invent an appraisal.
How do I photograph a coin?
Use diffuse light, shoot straight down, keep all lettering sharp, and include diameter or weight in the description if known.
