What a free screen can check

  • Coin type, country, denomination, date, mint mark, and obvious variety clues.
  • Condition problems such as cleaning, corrosion, jewelry mounts, holes, bends, and heavy wear.
  • Whether the coin looks common, needs grading, or belongs in a collection review.

When to get a professional appraisal

Use professional appraisal for rare dates, large collections, certified coins, estate settlement, insurance, sale, donation, or suspected counterfeits. For formal use, see qualified appraisals.

Photo checklist

  • Obverse, reverse, date, mint mark, edge, holder, slab, and full collection group shot.
  • Close-ups of scratches, cleaning, corrosion, holes, bends, or mounting damage.
  • Receipts, grading labels, envelopes, albums, collection notes, and prior appraisals.

Market evidence note

A free screen can organize visible clues and next steps, but it is not a final appraisal. Sale records and catalog examples must be matched to the exact item, condition, originality, provenance, and current demand.

FAQ

Is a free online coin appraisal exact?

No. It is a triage step, not a certified grade or final market value.

Do photos show whether a coin is fake?

Sometimes they show warning signs, but weight, measurements, metal testing, and expert review may be needed.
