A second opinion for your pocket change
Know what a coin might be worth.
Photograph both sides. We’ll identify the likely coin, explain what affects its value, and give you an honest range—not a fantasy auction price.
Evidence first. Estimate second.
- 01
Read the coin with AI
OpenAI vision extracts visible text, country, denomination, year, mint mark, and apparent condition from both photographs. If that first reading is incomplete, Coin Signal retries once automatically.
- 02
Search Numista
Those structured clues become a normal search against Numista’s catalogue API. The photographs themselves are not sent to Numista.
- 03
Use an official fallback
If Numista has no price rows, Coin Signal follows official references such as PCGS and searches reputable auction records. Guide values and actual sales remain clearly separated.
- 04
Separate the unknowns
Identity, authenticity, and valuation receive separate confidence labels. High-stakes details—cleaning, damage, rare varieties, and authenticity—still go to a human expert.
