Establish the Republic Year 24 half-dollar on its own evidence
| Feature | Detail to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Sun Yat-sen junk-design half-dollar silver coin |
| Date | Republic Year 24 |
| Denomination | Half-dollar |
| Authority and design | Republic of China; Sun Yat-sen and junk |
| Evidence boundary | Date, value, portrait and junk establish a broad attribution, not authenticity, mint, metal fineness, pattern status or a precise die variety. |
Keep the half-dollar inscription connected to Republic Year 24
Date and value: Photograph the full Republic Year 24 and half-dollar inscriptions with adjacent characters and the border. A clipped numeral or weak stroke should remain open until a second view clarifies it.
Portrait and junk: Place the complete Sun Yat-sen portrait and junk design in level face images before enlarging lettering, rigging, waves or relief details.
Rim, edge and readings: Move around the circumference in ordered overlaps. If safe, show measuring tools and units, but do not use dimensions to convert this coin into a one-yuan piece or a pattern issue.
Retain original surface evidence
Use soft frontal illumination to capture colour, then raking light for scratches, deposits, wear, tooling or earlier cleaning. Handle bare silver at the edge and leave an existing holder sealed; a separate container remains conditionally linked.
Three evidence groups
| Group | What belongs there |
|---|---|
| Identity | Republic Year 24, half-dollar, Sun Yat-sen and junk design |
| Condition | Strike, wear, patina, marks and any later surface work |
| Physical checks | Full edge sequence plus safe weight and dimension readings |

For broader photographic comparison, open Silver Dollars and consult Junk Dollar, French Indochina Piastre and British Trade Dollar Records. Return to this coin's Republic Year 24 and half-dollar inscriptions whenever another issue differs.
Submit both faces, the denomination and full circumference to About Gu Jin Jian Bao | Collection Enquiries, WhatsApp the appraisal team or Call 852 9834 2057. Identify each uncertain date or value stroke and keep any pattern attribution out unless separate evidence supports it.
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.
