Make the full coin the primary view
Date and portrait: Keep the complete bust, Year 9 characters, denticles and rim in one uncropped image. Details of the hair, ear or date should retain their relation to the wider design.
Reverse and value: Photograph the one-yuan denomination with the surrounding devices and entire rim. Use a second light angle where wear, a punch or reflection interrupts the lettering.
Circumference and size: Show overlapping edge sections in order, followed by weight, diameter and thickness when safely available. These readings help test consistency but do not produce an authentication decision.
Handling and holder guidance
Touch a loose coin only at the edge above a clean padded surface. Do not open a sealed grading holder; photograph its label, both faces and the visible circumference, and keep any separate box association conditional.
Inspect three condition areas
Relief: Compare the portrait high points, date legend and reverse lettering under matched light. Describe weak striking apart from wear and later smoothing.
Fields: Preserve toning and deposits while using a shallow beam to show hairlines, wiped patches or tooling. Overall colour should also be captured under diffuse neutral light.
Rim and edge: Locate knocks, filing, seams, bends, plugs or solder around the full circumference. One enlarged mark cannot explain the whole edge.
Year 9 research route
Open Yuan Shikai Dollars and compare with Yuan Shikai Dollar: Wreath, Edge, Weight and Surface. Return to the visible Year 9 strokes whenever a narrower label is proposed.

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.
