Item details and appraisal notes
This 1949 First Series Renminbi Woodworker 10 Yuan note should be documented from its complete printed faces. Keep the woodworker subject, 10 Yuan value, date and full border together in the first front photograph, then add the reverse at matching scale. Any visible numbering and present paper condition should follow in separate images without cleaning or flattening the note.
Woodworker 10 Yuan: broad identity from the whole face
| Checkpoint | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|
| Issue group | Listed with First Series Renminbi; verify the classification against the printed issue details. |
| Year shown | 1949 |
| Face value | 10 Yuan |
| Named subject | Woodworker |
| Attribution boundary | The Woodworker 10 Yuan identification uses the visible subject, date and value. A finer type requires readable evidence on this note. |
Photograph the printed design before small details
Both complete faces: Place the Woodworker 10 Yuan front and reverse square to the camera under even neutral light. Leave all corners and cut edges inside the frame, and keep the 1949 date beside the printed denomination. A later design close-up should retain enough border to show its location.
Numbering and fine print: Show any prefix and serial actually present in one natural-colour image, including their alignment and nearby paper. Change the light direction for a weak character rather than altering its shape. An unreadable digit should remain unresolved.
Condition on the correct face: Record folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, tears, trimming, pressing, backing and old repairs where they occur. Photograph the complete affected side before an enlarged detail. Raking light may clarify texture, but the paper should remain untreated.
A second physical-note checklist
| Area | Separate record |
|---|---|
| Printed identity | The Woodworker 10 Yuan subject, denomination, date, inscriptions and reverse shown without cropping. |
| Paper condition | Damage and earlier treatment located at natural colour, with no inferred grade or hidden retouching. |
| Associated material | A sleeve, album page, holder or certificate photographed only if it still accompanies this banknote. |
Temporary handling and storage
Use a clean dry support and turn the note only when the reverse must be photographed. Do not wash, iron, bleach, press or tape it. Add transmitted light solely when a watermark, thin area or repair is visibly present, then return the banknote to an inert sleeve away from heat and damp.
First Series context without borrowing details
Browse the First Series Renminbi for nearby issues; the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence supplies a framework for comparing photographs. Neither source supplies a missing number, watermark or grade for this item.
Two different subjects for separate comparison
Submit the full faces, edges and any readable number line through the About Gu Jin Jian Bao | Collection Enquiries; add one focused condition photograph via WhatsApp at +852 9834 2057, or telephone +852 9834 2057. Mention the quantity and whether any album page, old sleeve or certificate remains with the note.
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.
