Tell Lens Scan you're scanning a coin and not a stone, and the result comes back tuned for coins. β€’ Ask, don't just read. Every result opens into a chat with an AI Assistant that already knows what you scanned. "Is this valuable?" "How do I clean it?" "What year is it from?" β€’ Know the value, not just the name. Coins, antiques and collectibles come back with an estimated price range, era and condition. β€’ Keep what you find. Every scan is saved to History, tap the heart to build a Favorites collection, and share any result or export it as a PDF. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the camera or import a photo from your gallery 2. Pick a category and frame the item β€” flash and zoom included 3. Read your answer, then chat with the AI Assistant to go deeper MADE FOR EVERYDAY CURIOSITY Gardeners checking an unlabeled seedling.
