What makes a coin valuable?
Two coins of the same type can differ in value by a factor of a hundred. These are the points a numismatist checks first:
- Rarity. How many were minted – and how many survive. Low-mintage years and mint marks are the classic "key dates".
- Condition. Wear, scratches, cleaning and damage. A sharp, untouched coin is often worth many times a worn one.
- Metal. Gold and silver coins are always worth at least their metal content. Many older circulation coins contain silver.
- Demand. Popular series, famous designs and errors attract many collectors – rarity alone is not enough.
- Authenticity. Copies and fakes are common, especially for gold and well-known silver dollars.

Frequently asked questions
Is the coin value estimate really free?
Yes. Upload photos and get an estimate without an account or payment. If you need a written appraisal for insurance, an estate or a sale, you can request one from an independent expert, who charges a fixed fee.
Which photos should I upload?
Both sides of the coin, straight on, sharp and in daylight without flash, plus the edge if it has lettering. Lay the coin on a plain dark or white background. A ruler next to it helps with the size.
Can you tell if my coin is real?
Photos can show warning signs – soft details, wrong lettering, a seam on the edge, a 'COPY' stamp – but no one can authenticate a coin from photos alone. For valuable pieces, a grading service or a numismatist who examines the coin is the safe route.
Does it work for banknotes, medals and gold bars?
Yes. You can upload coins, banknotes, medals, tokens and bullion coins. For bars, photograph the stamp with the refiner, weight and fineness.
What value do you estimate?
The fair market value: what a dealer or an auction would realistically pay today. Retail prices in shops and online listings are usually higher than what sellers actually receive.
Should I clean my coins first?
No, never. Cleaning leaves fine scratches and an unnatural shine and can cut the value of a collectible coin drastically. Upload them as they are.
