Yes, you can upload, easily. JUst follow the directions and crop it properly. We need to know what kind of coin and the condition to tell you how/what to do.

It looks like it was buried for a time. Try a little extra virgin olive oil and see if it helps. Is any of the discoloration raised at all?. It's a common coin, so it won't hurt much to try some things.
