Common category questions Open to read answers

How do Sun Yat-sen commemorative and Yuan Shikai dollars compare?

They use different variety systems and cannot be assigned one price. Stars, date, die and condition must be considered for the relevant coin.

How are upper and lower five-pointed-star varieties distinguished?

They are identified by the position and layout of the stars. Provide a clear reverse photograph and the full edge.

Can a Sun Yat-sen commemorative dollar with chop marks still be considered?

Yes, although the location and depth of chop marks usually affect condition and value.

Is the six-pointed-star Sun Yat-sen commemorative variety rare?

The six-pointed-star variety is generally more common than the five-pointed-star varieties. Star shape and overall condition must be checked together.

What do birds and no birds mean on Junk Dollars?

They refer to the presence or absence of birds above the junk on Republic Year 21 issues. Photograph this area clearly for comparison.
