Examine the upper-six-star issue at three scales
Whole face: Begin with level images that connect Sun Yat-sen, the commemorative legends, one-yuan value and entire upper-star arrangement to the same coin.
Star details: Count six individual stars and retain nearby lettering or border devices in every close view. Glare, wear or a rim shadow must not be interpreted as a missing star.
Edge and condition: Cover the circumference in overlapping frames and map rim knocks, seams, filing or mounting traces. Measurements remain cross-checks and cannot supply an unstated date.
Keep the silver unchanged while evidence is gathered
- Original colour:
- Use neutral light to preserve colour, followed by low-angle light for relief and hairlines. Hold a loose coin only at the edge above a soft support; leave a sealed holder intact and qualify any separate packaging.
- Six-star locator:
- Retain the border and neighbouring device around each star enlargement, so the upper placement remains evident even when one point is worn.
- Later change:
- Place scratches, deposits, rim work or possible mounting traces on complete views before describing their effect on the design.
Finish with storage and image order
Keep complete faces ahead of details, maintain a continuous edge sequence and store bare silver in an inert holder without attempting surface improvement.

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.
