Item details and appraisal notes
Special is provisional for this Republic Year 10 Yuan Shikai dollar with a one-yuan value until a defining die feature can be shown on the coin. Confirm the Year 10 legend, portrait, one-yuan reverse and edge first. Do not turn an unexplained label into a named variety.
Verify the Year 10 dollar before the special claim
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Yuan Shikai portrait one-yuan silver dollar |
| Date | Republic Year 10 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Special status | Provisional. It needs a visible, repeatable feature on this coin. |
| Attribution limit | No special subtype is identified; authentication and die attribution remain open. |
Give the ordinary identity priority
Portrait and date: Frame the full bust, Year 10 legend, rim and denticles head-on. Add close views of any claimed die feature, but keep its position visible against the complete face.
Reverse value: Show the one-yuan denomination and surrounding design at natural contrast. A mark, weak character or bright reflection should not be interpreted as a variety without another light angle.
Edge and measurements: Photograph continuous overlapping edge sections and, for a loose coin, visible scale and calliper readings. Measurements provide supporting context only and cannot define the special designation.
Test a claimed special feature
| Check | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Shape | Is the feature complete and visible under neutral light? |
| Position | Does its location agree with the surrounding die design? |
| Surface | Could wear, damage, tooling or glare explain the difference? |
Keep the silver surface unchanged
Do not polish, dip or brush the coin. Photograph toning, old cleaning, contact marks and suspected tooling under diffuse and raking light; if graded, retain the sealed holder and show its label.
Read wider material cautiously
Consult Yuan Shikai Dollars and the Yuan Shikai Dollar: Wreath, Edge, Weight and Surface. A comparison is useful only when the same Year 10 feature is plainly visible on this dollar.

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.
