Key Factors Determining Resale Value

The resale price of Yunnan Province Xuan Tong Yuan Bao Three Mace Six Candareens is not fixed and is primarily influenced by the following "in-depth condition indicators":

  1. Variety Rarity:

    • Old Variety (Coarse Dragon): Relatively few minted, strong three-dimensional dragon scales, higher market premium.

    • New Variety (Fine Dragon): More widely circulated, currently the most common Yunnan Half Dollar silver coin on the market.

  2. Dragon Scale Integrity: The clarity and wear of the dragon scales in the center of the dragon's body are crucial for judging extremely fine condition (XF/AU).

  3. Original Luster and Toning: Silver coins with naturally oxidized "rainbow toning" or retaining their original mint luster fetch much higher prices in antique coin auctions than coins that have been cleaned.

  4. Presence of Repairs or Chop Marks: Early circulation often involved private chop marks. "Full condition" coins without chop marks or repairs have the most investment value.

Common FAQs

Is it true that I shouldn't clean silver dollars myself?

Yes. Never use silver polish, toothpaste, or abrasive cloths to clean them, as this will damage the toning and original luster, leading them to be labeled "Cleaned" and significantly decreasing their value. Maintaining their original condition is key to their value.

Aurecov collects silver dollars and coins | Will you still accept a Yunnan Province Ku-ping 3 mace 6 candareens Hsuan-t'ung Yuan-pao with wear and scratches?

Yes. The value of silver dollars is mainly determined by their condition grading (from Uncirculated UNC to Good G). Minor wear is considered normal circulation marks, and while the appraisal will be adjusted according to the grading, we will not refuse to accept it.
