Item details and appraisal notes

Secure the Sichuan attribution and Kuping wording first
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sichuan Guangxu Yuanbao silver coin |
| Date | No precise year is stated; read any date only from this coin. |
| Denomination | Kuping 7 Mace 2 Candareens |
| Province | Sichuan Province |
| Attribution limit | Province, reign title and weight legend support the general type, not authenticity or a minor die variety. |
Keep the province and denomination in context
Sichuan face: Photograph the complete Sichuan and Guangxu Yuanbao legends with the rim and denticles. A close character view should retain enough neighbouring strokes to show its reading.
Kuping face: Capture all characters for Kuping 7 Mace 2 Candareens in one level image. Glare or a holder edge should not conceal the beginning or end of the legend.
Reverse and measurements: Show the whole reverse design and complete circumference before adding scale or calliper views. Measured data can expose inconsistency, but it cannot create an unstated year.
A three-part examination
| Area | What to preserve |
|---|---|
| Legends | Sichuan, Guangxu Yuanbao and the full Kuping wording |
| Surface | Patina, hairlines, wear and earlier cleaning as found |
| Edge | Reeding, seams, filing, knocks and possible mounting work |
Do not improve the silver before photography
Use neutral light for colour and raking light for relief or tooling. Avoid polish, chemical dip and abrasive cloth. Keep a sealed holder closed and treat any separate packaging as conditionally related.

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.
