Q: What is the recycling price for Yuan Datou, Eagle Dollars, and Sun Xiaotou?
A: The recycling price for silver dollars depends on the variety, condition, and year. Common varieties of Yuan Datou from the third, ninth, and tenth years are typically a few hundred to over a thousand Hong Kong dollars per coin; rare editions such as the signature edition, O-mint, and Gansu edition can reach tens of thousands. Eagle dollars and seated dollars also have a stable market. You can get an appraisal by sending front and back photos of your silver dollar to WhatsApp 94530784.
Q: If a silver dollar has black oxidized toning, will the price be reduced?
A: No. Original toning (commonly known as "old patina") is actually a sign of authenticity and will increase its value. Absolutely do not clean or polish it yourself, as this will severely affect its value.
Q: How can I distinguish between genuine and counterfeit silver dollars?
A: Hong Kang Merchant assesses authenticity from multiple angles, including weight, diameter, edge reeding, sound, luster, and engraving. For some rare editions, we use a combination of electronic scales, calipers, and magnifying glasses for comprehensive judgment.

Q: Should the oxidation layer on a silver dollar be cleaned?
A: Absolutely do not clean it! The natural toning (oxidation layer) on the surface of a silver dollar is a trace of time and an important basis for collectors to judge authenticity. Artificial cleaning will severely damage the toning and drastically reduce the recycling price.
Q: How many versions of Yuan Datou are there? Which one is the most valuable?
A: There are four main common versions of Yuan Datou from the third, eighth, ninth, and tenth years. Among them, the eighth-year version is the rarest due to its low mintage, and rare editions such as the signature edition, O-mint, and Gansu edition are extremely valuable. The common third-year version also has a stable recycling price.
