Move from complete legends to die details
Fengtian and Guimao: Photograph the entire province and date legends with Guangxu Yuanbao, the denticles and rim. Keep every detail view tied to an uncropped face.
Kuping wording: Show the full 7 Mace 2 Candareens line under neutral light and add a low-angle view where relief is weak. Do not substitute a Jilin denomination stroke.
Reverse and physical checks: Capture the whole reverse design and complete edge before the scale or calliper displays. Measurements are supporting checks, not proof of province or date.
Separate die, surface and damage evidence
- Strike
- Compare the Guimao characters, province legend and reverse devices under matched light, noting incomplete recesses apart from worn high points.
- Patina
- Preserve colour and deposits while using raking light for hairlines, smoothing or tooling. Never brighten the coin with abrasive treatment.
- Damage
- Locate scratches, rim work, bends, seams, plugs or mounting traces on full views before describing their effect on condition.
Safe handling and packaging
Hold a loose coin by the edge over a soft dry pad. Leave a graded holder closed and photograph any separate box or certificate without assuming it originally accompanied the coin.

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.
