Our method combines simple at-home preparation with a proprietary algorithm — so even tens of thousands of coins are handled cleanly and consistently.
Pick the option that suits you. The steps below describe the self-service option; with the Custom option, our team takes care of steps 1 to 3 for you.
After a refundable deposit, we ship you a ready-to-use photo kit (stand, neutral background, lighting, ruler). You take the photos yourself following our tutorials, at your own pace. The deposit is returned when the kit comes back. This is the most affordable option — our standard pricing.
Would rather not handle anything? We dispatch a trained team that sets up the gear and photographs the whole collection on location. Ideal for very large volumes, fragile pieces or tight deadlines. Quoted separately, and higher than the self-service option.
After a refundable deposit (covering the loaned equipment), you receive a complete, reusable photo kit: coin stand, neutral background, lighting and a ruler. Nothing to buy; the deposit is returned when the kit comes back.
Step-by-step video tutorials show exactly how to position, photograph and archive each coin — obverse and reverse — with consistent framing and naming. Anyone can follow them, at their own pace.
Upload the organized photos (or ship the coins). The consistent structure from step 2 is what lets us process very large volumes without errors or mix-ups.
Our in-house algorithm identifies every piece, matches it to the Numista catalog, and estimates a market value — coin by coin, across the entire collection. Specialists review the rare and ambiguous cases.
You receive a complete, exportable analysis: every coin with its photos, identification, Numista reference and valuation, plus a consolidated total. We can even integrate the whole inventory directly into your Numista collection.
