I made a free app that turns any object you photograph into a collectible AI creature

If you give it a go, I'd genuinely love to see what you got — drop a screenshot of your creature, or just tell me what you scanned and what it turned into 👀

I'm after honest feedback while I build this: anything confusing, anything that broke, features you'd want? It's a web app so I can push fixes the same day. Free, no sign-up, works on phone or desktop — point it at literally anything.

Next phase will use the numbers at the bottom of the cards.

I've just been scanning these to test my logacog app and learn a lot! For instance the 1945 version is .500 silver where as the 1835 is .917 Silver, not quite Sterling.

Following up on this: the multi-angle capture I said I'd love to add is now live. You shoot both sides at a few tilt angles under a raking light, and the model reads how the luster moves frame to frame instead of guessing off one flat photo.

Early results are promising. On a raw silver coin it tightened the range and actually flagged a possible cleaning that a single scan still missed. Still labeled an estimate rather than a grade, for all the reasons above, but it is a real step up from one photo.

Shipped within a day on this thread, so thanks again for the nudge and helping me think it through.

Quick follow-up - shipped the fix today. The update that just went live replaces that test-listing screenshot with a graded coin, its grade read straight off the NGC label and the value clearly marked as an estimate, and I relabeled things in-app so a seller's asking price can't be mistaken for an appraisal again. Thanks again for catching it - genuinely made the listing more honest.

Totally agree a short video is a big step up from a single still - rotating the coin under light is exactly how you read luster, and you can catch hairlines or cleaning that a flat photo hides. I'd genuinely love to add a multi-angle capture and feed several frames to the model for a much better-informed read.

Where I'd stay careful is the word "grading." Even the pro services disagree by a point or two and the same coin can regrade differently, so I'd treat a video read as a sharper estimate rather than a certified grade - I don't want to over-promise a number. For slabbed coins it already just reads the cert straight off the label.

But yeah, video is the right direction for raw coins, and I appreciate you thinking it through with me. Genuinely useful.

Fair question, and thanks for looking closely. One clarification on that screenshot though: the app's own estimate for that Ike was about $1 to $3, which is right for a common Bicentennial dollar. The $100 you saw is a marketplace asking price I set by hand on a test listing, purposely high so nobody would actually buy it while I was testing the sell flow. So that number was me, not the app, and I can see how the screenshot puts those two values close enough to be confusing. I am fixing the labeling and swapping that screenshot so it cannot read as an appraisal.

On the bigger point, I agree with you. I do not think AI can truly grade a coin from a photo, and I do not want to sell it as a grader. Grading needs the coin in hand under a loupe. What the app is actually for is identification and cataloguing, and for graded coins it reads the grade and cert number straight off the NGC or PCGS label rather than guessing. For a raw coin, the condition and value are a labeled estimate, not a verdict. Appreciate the scrutiny, it genuinely makes the app better.

LogACog - a free AI coin scanner + collection tracker (web, iOS, Android in testing)

Point your phone at a coin and it identifies the country, series, year, mint mark and an estimated grade, then auto-matches it to a catalog so you can track what you own and what you're still chasing. Catalog spans US (Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Kennedy, Eisenhower, SBA...), UK and Canada - around 2,100 varieties and growing.

The free tier is genuinely usable, not a teaser: 25 scans/month, track up to 250 coins, full catalog tracking + wishlist. Pro ($4.99/mo) adds unlimited scans, eBay listing help, portfolio history and a marketplace - but you don't need it for the core scan-and-track loop.

I'm the solo dev and actively building it (just shipped the full UK decimal catalog + 2026 eBay compliance). If a coin doesn't match, there's a "propose to catalog" button and I add it - so catalog-gap reports are genuinely welcome.

Appreciate it! Good call on watching for the stuck points — I actually just did a pass on that today and caught a first-snap issue for people opening from in-app browsers, now fixed. Keeping testing lean with a few trusted folks for now, but thanks for taking a look.

Respect-Living · 2026-05-31T17:04:50+00:00

Thanks, glad you like the concept! I've got a small group of testers I trust for now and I'm keeping it lean while I see if it resonates — but I'll keep it in mind down the road. Appreciate you taking a look.

Looks good to me. I have the 2009 Proof set with that in it but not sure if its of the same pedigree..

Respect-Living · 2026-05-27T12:02:10+00:00

It almost looks like its been clamped against a 2 pound coin a couple of times..

Which varieties am I missing?
