New website for Trueview style images

I have nothing to do with this website but thought I’d share what it can generate from cellphone quality pictures.

So it's an editing program?

 

It's a website that uses AI (ChatGPT) to blend several images of your coin into a single image. You upload the images; they can be from slightly different angles for better lighting on the coin, and it assembles them. Of course, it still depends on the quality of the images you upload.

 

Caveat: It only works for slabbed coins.

 

? me too.

 

I gave it a try, as I think there’s a really good use case. I bought a nice 1827 PCGS 50C O-147 in VF 30 on eBay yesterday, but the seller only had a single set of (crappy) pictures. So in addition to the slab photos of obv and rev, I uploaded pictures of another O-147 (CoinFacts) in the same grade, also certified by PCGS. Yeah, they’re obviously “fake”, but now I have decent pictures of a coin which I haven’t even received :-D

Results:

 

I’m happy with the results being a free site. Although they are essentially glamour shots, similar to a TrueView, an actual professional image would yield better results.

 

True? Yes. I have many faults, but lying isn't one of them. Unless I'm lying now -- which I'm not. ;-)

How did I determine that? I went to the website, set-up an account, then tried it out by following its instructions. In that process it became obvious that until you upload a photo of the coin in the holder it will not complete its generation of a final photo.

 

Blackberry - can you show us the individual images it used to make one of those composites? I'm wondering how much editing/stitching/altering its doing compared to the originals.

 

I’ll actually message the designer of the website and see if that option can be done as well.

 

Ignore my messy haircut background. My last conversation with the designer I also suggested a video option in addition to photos that get uploaded.

 

FYI… I was able to get it fixed for you.

 

Thanks for that. That is actually really interesting - several years ago, I was doing something similar with photoshop. I'd take the best pieces of a half dozen images and piece them together in photoshop to make the best overall picture. It was incredibly tedious and time-consuming. I wish I had some examples to show. This looks to be doing the same thing with minimal effort.

This weekend I might run a couple prooflike coins through it to see if I can break it, haha.

 

The website mentions cell-phone pictures... does it have to be? Are there limits on the size of the upload and size of the finished picture? Can I take pics with a real camera (uploaded as JPG) and get a high-res large format picture? Or is it limited to a certain resolution/size output?

 

The way I did it was utilizing the feature on the site that allows me to take photos directly on it. I believe there is an option to upload images though. I’m not exactly certain of the details on size, etc.

 

Blackberry. Beautiful Morgans! But what's the deal with the one marked CC following the 1882S obverse? Something out of order or did you not take a photo of the obverse? I'd love to see it.

 

Hi everyone -- I'm the person who made/manages coinstudio.ai. Welcome any feedback or ideas that y'all have. Actively working on making it better (including some things that have already been flagged here, like messing up mintmarks).

I spent some time today to make it easier / more intuitive to image raw coins. You can now image either a raw or slabbed coin and it will automatically pick the right photo dimensions (will produce square images for raw coins, 4x5 dimensions for slabs).
