Item details and appraisal notes

FeatureWhat to confirm

DateYear 34
Denomination7 Mace 2 Candareens; Kuping is not stated.
Mint or regionBeiyang
Attribution limitYear, Beiyang wording and denomination establish the broad issue, not authenticity or a fine die variety.

Photograph the date and region before details

Beiyang and Year 34: Keep the complete Beiyang and date legends, Guangxu Yuanbao characters, denticles and rim in one level image. Add close views without clipping neighbouring strokes.

Denomination: Show 7 Mace 2 Candareens as a continuous visible legend. Do not add Kuping or alter the wording to agree with a Jiangnan or Jilin comparison.

Reverse and edge: Photograph the whole reverse design, surrounding text and circumference. Instrument readings can support consistency checks, but they do not decide the date or mint by themselves.

Preserve the current state

A loose coin should be held only at the edge over a clean padded surface. Do not polish, dip or brush the silver; keep any graded holder sealed and any separate packaging conditionally associated.

Three questions for Year 34

Date form: Are all Year 34 characters visible with their surrounding legend, or could wear and weak relief alter the reading? Use more than one light direction.

Region and design: Does the Beiyang wording belong to the same face and border as the date? A cropped inscription cannot establish the full attribution.

Surface and edge: Where are hairlines, chopmarks, rim knocks, seams or mounting traces located? Keep these later features apart from the original legends.

Year 34 reading route

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.

Questions sellers often askOpen a question to read the answer

Which details identify the Year 34 Beiyang coin?

Show Beiyang, Year 34, Guangxu Yuanbao and the complete 7 Mace 2 Candareens denomination across full-face photographs.

Should Kuping or a Gregorian year be added?

No. Neither is stated, so preserve Year 34 and the denomination exactly as given unless the coin supplies further legible evidence.

How should the surface and edge be shown?

Leave patina and old cleaning unchanged, use direct and raking light, and photograph the full edge in overlapping sections.
