Coin identification FAQ

Quick answers to common coin ID questions.

I can flag counterfeit risks and provide next-step guidance, but I am not a third-party grading or authentication service. For high-value coins, professional authentication is recommended.

Very worn coins, tiny coins without readable legends, and some ancient pieces. Weight, diameter, and edge photos help a lot.

Yes, sometimes. My specialty is 1500–present coins. For older coins, results depend heavily on weight, diameter, and clear photos of any readable legends and the edge. If the coin is too worn for a confident ID, I will tell you exactly what extra photos or checks can help.

If I cannot identify your coin after you provide the requested photos or measurements (and any specific follow-up shots I ask for), you will get a full refund.

Yes. I can provide ranges in a general market context and also consider your region if you tell me where you are located.
