What’s the easiest way to identify old coins found in my drawer?
I found a small box of old coins while cleaning my late uncle’s house. Most of them look quite old, some have strange symbols. I have no idea where they are from. Is there a simple way to identify them without spending money on professional appraisal?

The easiest way for beginners is taking clear photos of both sides and using a good tool. Many collectors now rely on a free coin identifier app that recognizes coins instantly and shows their origin, year, and current market value. I used it last week for a similar batch and it helped me separate valuable pieces from common ones. It’s surprisingly accurate if the lighting is decent. Worth trying before taking them anywhere.
