Common category questions Open to read answers

Is every Third Series Renminbi note valuable?

No. Common circulated notes and scarcer varieties, such as the green-back watermark 1-jiao, red 1-jiao and Lathe Worker 2-yuan, can differ substantially.

Can only a few older banknotes be assessed?

Yes. Photograph both sides, all four corners and the watermark under backlighting. For consecutive notes, include the prefix and serial run.

Which condition problems have the greatest effect?

Washing, pressing, repaired holes, trimming and mildew all affect condition, so a final quotation may require inspection.

How does the green-back watermark 1-jiao differ from the ordinary green-back note?

The watermark variety shows a five-star watermark under transmitted light. Provide a clear backlit photograph for confirmation.

How is an original bundle of 100 Third Series notes assessed?

The prefix, completeness of the consecutive serial run and overall condition are assessed together. Photograph the first and last serial numbers and the intact bundle.
