Item details and appraisal notes
This Jiangnan Guangxu Yuanbao states Jiachen, 1904 and Kuping 7 Mace 2 Candareens. Keep all three details tied to the Jiangnan legends on this coin. A Jiachen coin from Jilin or another Jiangnan issue without matching date evidence cannot replace a weak character here.
Confirm Jiangnan, Jiachen and 1904 together
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Jiangnan Jiachen Guangxu Yuanbao silver coin |
| Date | Jiachen; 1904 |
| Denomination | Kuping 7 Mace 2 Candareens |
| Province | Jiangnan |
| Attribution limit | Date, province, reign title and denomination establish the broad issue, not authenticity or a specific die pairing. |
Photograph the date and denomination as complete legends
Jiangnan and Jiachen: Keep the province, cyclical date, Guangxu Yuanbao characters, denticles and rim in one face-on image. Add details only after the full face fixes their positions.
Kuping value: Show the full Kuping 7 Mace 2 Candareens wording without clipped characters or glare. Do not substitute the spacing or strokes of another Jiachen mint.
Reverse and circumference: Photograph the complete reverse design and bordering text before moving around the edge in overlapping sections. Safe instrument readings are supporting checks rather than an authentication result.
Preserve the coin before comparison
Keep toning, deposits, scratches and previous cleaning untouched. A loose piece can be held by the edge; a graded holder should stay sealed while its label and visible rim are photographed.
Three areas that must agree
- Province and date: The Jiangnan and Jiachen characters should be read with neighbouring strokes under direct and raking light. A damaged date remains uncertain until its form is visible.
- Denomination: Treat the Kuping legend as a complete unit and keep each character connected to the same face. A measured weight does not rewrite the stated denomination.
- Surface and edge: Map hairlines, tooling, rim knocks, seams, bends or mounting traces to their positions. Condition evidence should stay separate from the 1904 attribution.

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
