Built for Coin Sellers

Create Numismatic-Quality Coin Photos
-
Upload your coin photo
Drop your coin photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photograph both obverse and reverse. For valuable coins, include close-ups of the mint mark, date, and any notable die characteristics.
Background replacement takes 15-20 seconds. Mint mark detail enhancement may need a second targeted pass. -
Describe the edit you want
Type 'replace background with clean dark gray, preserve surface luster and toning' for standard numismatic shots. For close-ups, try 'enhance sharpness on mint mark and date, keep original luster intact.'
Dark gray or black backgrounds are standard in numismatics. They prevent overexposure at the rim and show toning colors more accurately than white. -
Verify luster and toning accuracy
Compare the edited photo to the actual coin. Toning colors should match exactly. Luster patterns should remain visible. Check that contact marks and bag marks are still documented.
Hold the actual coin next to your screen. If toning colors differ, add 'preserve original toning colors exactly, no color correction' to your prompt. -
Process obverse and reverse consistently
Use the same prompt and background for both sides. Numismatic buyers expect consistent presentation. Include close-ups of the mint mark and edge lettering if applicable.
For slabbed coins, photograph through the holder and use 'reduce holder reflections' to show the coin clearly.

Common Coin Photo Issues
Toning colors look different from actual coin
Why: Color correction algorithms can shift toning hues. Rainbow toning is especially sensitive.
replace background only, preserve all toning colors exactly as-is, no color correction or enhancement
Always add 'no color correction' for toned coins.
Flash glare washes out coin surface
Why: Coins are highly reflective. Direct flash creates severe hotspots hiding luster and details.
Angle your light at 45 degrees. EditThisPic can reduce moderate glare but severe white-outs may not recover.
AI smoothed out contact marks
Why: The AI interpreted contact marks as blemishes to fix.
replace background only, preserve all contact marks and surface wear as-is, honest grade documentation
Specify 'honest grade documentation' to signal surface imperfections are intentional content.
Cartwheel luster not showing
Why: Luster requires directional lighting. Flat lighting from enhancement eliminates the luster effect.
replace background with dark gray, preserve directional luster pattern, maintain original lighting angle
Tilt the coin under light to capture luster, then use 'preserve directional luster' in your prompt.
Rim detail got clipped during background removal
Why: Coin rims can be mistaken for background edges.
replace background with dark gray, preserve complete rim detail, do not clip the coin edge
Tap markers along the coin edge to tell the AI those details are part of the coin.
Coin looks flattened or lost 3D depth
Why: Even lighting can flatten the relief, reducing 3D appearance.
replace background with dark gray, maintain directional lighting to show design relief and depth
Add 'maintain directional lighting' to preserve the 3D quality.
Coin Seller Questions
Will EditThisPic preserve my coin's authentic toning?
Yes. Use 'preserve all toning colors exactly as-is, no color correction' in your prompt. The AI will clean the background while keeping toning hues and natural patina exactly as they appear on the actual coin.
What background color is best for coin photography?
Dark gray or black is the numismatic standard. Dark backgrounds prevent overexposure at the rim, show toning colors accurately, and match the presentation style collectors expect.
Can I photograph slabbed coins through the holder?
Yes. Use 'reduce holder reflections, show coin and grade label clearly' in your prompt. Dark backgrounds minimize case reflections.
How do I show cartwheel luster in photos?
Photograph at a slight angle under directional light to capture luster. Then use 'preserve directional luster pattern' in your prompt.
Can this help with die variety identification photos?
Yes. Use 'enhance sharpness on die detail' for doubled dies, repunched mint marks, and other varieties. Close-up photos work best.
Is this suitable for ancient and medieval coins?
Absolutely. Use 'preserve authentic patina and surface detail' prompts. Ancient coin patina is part of authentication and should never be altered.
