Item details and appraisal notes
This Republic Year 3 Yuan Shikai silver dollar states a one-yuan denomination. Begin with a complete portrait face and a complete value face, then check the edge, measurements and surface. Similar commemorative or later-year dollars should not influence a character that is unclear on this coin.
Establish the Year 3 one-yuan type from the coin
| Feature | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Issue | Yuan Shikai portrait silver dollar |
| Date | Republic Year 3 |
| Denomination | One yuan |
| Mint or province | Neither is stated. Keep any regional attribution pending direct inscription or die evidence. |
| Attribution limit | Year, portrait and value identify the broad type; they do not establish authenticity, grade or a named variety. |
Move from complete faces to small details
Portrait side: Photograph the entire bust, Year 3 legend and border head-on. Then add hair, ear, shoulder and character details without increasing contrast enough to hide fine surface marks.
One-yuan side: Keep the value, surrounding devices and rim inside one frame. Where a letter or character is worn, use another light direction instead of copying its form from a comparison coin.
Edge and readings: Show continuous overlapping edge sections and, for a loose piece, the zeroed scale and calliper positions. Dimensions are supporting observations and cannot authenticate the dollar by themselves.
Preserve the present surface
Silver toning, deposits and old cleaning are part of the evidence. Avoid polish, chemical dip, brushes and abrasive cloth; a sealed grading holder should remain closed while its label and visible circumference are photographed.
Three condition questions
Strike and wear: Compare exposed portrait relief with protected lettering and reverse recesses. Keep strike softness apart from metal lost through circulation or later friction.
Patina and tooling: One diffuse image should establish colour, followed by a low-angle view for hairlines, smoothed fields or engraved repairs. Do not enhance those signs digitally.
Damage and edge work: Locate cuts, chopmarks, rim filing, plugs, solder or mounting scars on the full coin. Explain an uncertain area cautiously rather than assigning a cause from one close-up.
Broader Yuan Shikai context
Consult Yuan Shikai Dollars before reading Yuan Shikai Dollar: Wreath, Edge, Weight and Surface. A guide can frame the examination but cannot supply a missing Year 3 stroke or one-yuan character.
