Item details and appraisal notes

| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Yuan Shikai portrait fractional silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 3 |
| Denomination | 10 cents |
| Mint or province | No mint or province is stated; regional language requires readable evidence on this piece. |
| Attribution limit | The stated year and value identify the general type, not authenticity, metal fineness or a specialised die variety. |
Keep each small character readable
Date side: Photograph the entire portrait face straight on, including the Year 3 legend, rim and denticles. A second low-angle image can separate weak relief from glare without digitally rebuilding a character.
Denomination side: Show the 10-cent value in its surrounding design and retain the full rim. If deposits cover part of the value, photograph them as found and leave the uncertain character open.
Scale and circumference: Use a zeroed scale and visible calliper position when the coin is loose, and cover the edge with overlapping frames. Measured data should support the visual examination rather than replace it.
A small coin rewards wider photographs
Macro images can exaggerate scratches and flatten relief. Pair every detail with an uncropped face, keep colour settings neutral and include a size marker without resting anything on the coin.

| View | Why it matters |

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.
