| Attribute | What is supplied |
|---|---|
| Object | French silver coin |
| Date | 1837 |

Check the supplied date, value and Louis Philippe attribution separately
1837 and 5 Francs: Keep the complete date and denomination within uncropped faces, then add matched close views with adjacent lettering and the rim visible.
Louis Philippe attribution: Keep the Louis Philippe attribution distinct from the date and value, and photograph the visible area that supports it in context. Do not add an official title, mint or mintmark that is not supplied.
Open design: Describe only what the photographs show beyond the named person. A similar French coin cannot provide an unmentioned principal device or die attribution.
Separate three kinds of physical evidence
- Legends and lettering: Use direct and shallow light to compare character edges, relief height and nearby fields before separating strike softness from wear.
- Edge and measurements: Photograph the circumference in order. Safe weight, diameter and thickness readings are cross-checks only and cannot establish a mint, authenticity or variety.
- Holder and loose material: Keep a grading holder closed and image both sides. Any detached ticket, envelope or box remains conditionally associated unless corroborating evidence joins it to the coin.
Protect the coin before changing the light
Start with natural colour, then use raking illumination for toning breaks, hairlines, knocks and earlier cleaning. Handle a loose piece by the edge and avoid dips, polish, brushes or digital smoothing.
