A QUESTION WORTH ANSWERING

Apps to identify coins and estimate value

Coinoscope, CoinIn and CoinSnap describe photo-based coin identification and value estimates. A photo suggestion can help you research a coin, but condition, authenticity, rarity and current market demand affect what it may actually sell for. Treat the displayed number as a starting estimate.

Which app fits your workflow?

Coinoscope: Coin Identifier

Start with Coinoscope if you want to compare your photo against visually similar coins and see an approximate listing-based value.

Check before choosing: Value-estimate use has daily limits without Pro. A listing price is not a confirmed sale or professional appraisal.

CoinIn: Coin Scan Identifier

Try CoinIn if you want a photo-based identity suggestion with history and an estimated value.

Check before choosing: Its listing describes a subscription. Check the free feature limits before scanning a larger collection.

CoinSnap: Coin Identifier

Try CoinSnap if you want a photo-based identification with rarity information and estimated market values.

Check before choosing: A Premium subscription is offered. Confirm which scans and estimates require it.

Capture both sides and verify the details

Use sharp, evenly lit photos of both sides of the coin. Check the date, mint mark, denomination and design against the suggested match. Similar-looking variants can have very different values, and we have not measured the apps' identification accuracy.

An estimated value is a research lead

Compare the app's estimate with recent sales of the same variety and condition, and account for fees. The apps' numbers do not verify authenticity or grade. For a potentially valuable coin, seek an independent expert assessment before selling or insuring it.
