What the AI looks for in Sports Fan Photomints

Coin finish
Check whether the coin is plated or solid, and whether it is a limited, numbered edition. Numbered limited runs hold collector interest better than open editions.
Display
Look for a sealed frame or acrylic case with a stand or wall mount. A sealed case keeps the coin from tarnishing and the photo from fading.
Licensed imagery
The photo and logos should be officially licensed. Licensing ensures accurate team marks and a quality image.

Brands that matter

  • Highland Mint: Originator of the Photo Mint format.

What to avoid
