When conducting old coin acquisitions and old banknote Buyback, the authenticity and "condition" (state of preservation) of the banknotes directly determine the final appraisal quote. We provide free professional coin authentication services. Below are some common initial identification and grading standards to help you understand your collection:

1. Quick Authenticity Identification Techniques (Anti-Counterfeiting Features)

Authentication Dimension	Features of Genuine "Textile 5 Jiao"	Common Flaws in Counterfeits/Fakes
Paper Material	Made of special banknote cotton paper, the paper is crisp and produces a clear metallic sound when gently shaken.	The paper is soft, thin, makes a dull sound, and lacks the characteristic resilience of banknote paper.
Watermark Observation	When viewed against the light, the star watermark has a strong three-dimensional effect, natural transitions, and is integrated with the internal fibers of the paper.	Watermarks are mostly surface printed or chemically applied, showing traces when laid flat and appearing stiff when held up to the light.
Printing Process	On the intaglio (raised) version, the hair and clothing lines of the textile worker have a distinct three-dimensional embossed feel when touched.	Counterfeits are mostly ordinary color copies or offset prints, with blurry lines and no tactile differences.
Ink Color	Accurate overprinting of purple and orange, colors remain stable and natural over time, with exquisite patterns.	Colors are often too bright or dull, and obvious halftone dots (screen dots) can be seen under a magnifying glass.

2. Condition of Old Banknotes and Buyback Quote Correlation

• Brand New Condition (Gem Uncirculated / UNC): Sharp corners, no folds, no yellowing, no fading, retaining original factory luster. Old banknotes in this condition receive the highest Buyback quotes and are preferred for investment and high-end collection.
• Extremely Fine Condition (XF): May have very slight edge softness or one imperceptible light central fold, but the overall banknote remains clean and tidy.
• Circulated Condition (Very Fine to Fine / VF): Shows obvious signs of circulation, including multiple folds, slight edge wear, or some age-related yellowing, but the design is clear, with no tears or damage, possessing basic Textile 5 Jiao collection value.
