Read the small-denomination inscriptions in full
Year 3 characters: Keep the complete reign date, neighbouring motifs and rim inside one square image. Weak strokes need a changed light angle, not a date copied from a larger dollar.
Ten-cent relationship: Show 10 cents together with the ten-pieces-to-one-yuan statement. Pair every enlarged value character with its uncropped face so the wording remains continuous.
Reverse and edge: Photograph the entire opposing design and then move around the circumference in overlapping steps. Safe measurements may test consistency but cannot establish the written value.
Three safeguards for a small silver coin
- Stable support: Place the piece above a soft dry pad before changing camera angle or magnification.
- Unchanged surface: Retain toning, deposits, contact marks and earlier cleaning; use light direction rather than polish to reveal detail.
- Closed holder: Keep a grading case sealed and photograph its label with all visible parts of the rim.

Before appraisal
Prepare full faces, an edge sequence and any non-destructive scale image. A box or loose label should be shown separately unless its association is supported.

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.
