Coin photos that let a collector read the date
Coin buyers want the date, the mint mark and the wear, and metal reflects like a mirror. A plain surface and soft light help a lot. Send a close phone photo, ask for an even tone, and the bot cleans the surround and tames the glare.

Make it in TelegramDo not alter the surface
Scratches, toning and wear carry value, so never ask the bot to polish a coin. If a date or a mark changes, rerun and add 'keep the lettering and the surface wear exactly'. Compare each image with the real coin at a high zoom, and delete any version that looks different. Photograph in the same light each time so your listings look consistent for returning buyers.
What buyers expect
Show the front, the back, the edge and one close view of any damage. State the diameter, the weight if you know it and the year in the text. Avoid claims of rarity or grade without proof. Read eBay's current rules on photos and on coins before you list, and keep an untouched picture in the set. Add the country as well.
Tips
- Shoot both sides in two separate pictures.
- Photograph the edge of the coin too.
- Put a ruler in a separate untouched photo.
- Never clean a coin for the camera.
Questions and answers
Can the bot change the background to black?
Yes. Many collectors like a dark tone.
Does it work for banknotes?
Yes. Lay the note flat and send a straight photo.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
- Does not output a transparent PNG. The result is a finished 3:4 image with a background.
- Does not write listing copy, set prices or upload anything to your seller account.
- Does not guarantee exact marketplace pixel sizes: crop or resize the 3:4 image in any editor.
- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
