Key Factors Affecting Acquisition Price: Condition and Grading

When selling silver coins for a high price, in addition to authenticity, "condition" is the core factor determining the final price. We refer to international grading standards (such as PCGS, NGC) and classify the condition of silver coins into the following grades, which are also important criteria for Hong Kong Coin & Banknote Co. to assess the value of silver coins:

Condition Grade Condition Description Impact on Price Recommended Handling
Circulated Obvious wear on the coin surface, blurred hair on the portrait, possibly dings or scratches. Basic recycling price It is recommended to inquire for an estimate directly; do not clean it yourself.
Extremely Fine (XF - AU) Clear coin design, only slight wear on high points, retaining most original luster or complete old toning. Price is 20%-40% higher than the base price Keep in original condition, avoid touching with fingerprints.
Uncirculated (UNC / MS) No visible wear on the coin surface, strong field luster (cartwheel effect), no oxidation or with beautiful iridescent toning. Top collector's price (extremely high premium) Strongly recommended for immediate grading and encapsulation for protection.

️ Important Reminder: Never clean silver coins yourself!

Many customers clean silver coins with toothpaste or silver polish to make them look "newer." This destroys the original patina on the silver coin surface, causing the silver coin acquisition price to plummet. If you are unsure how to preserve it, please contact us for advice first.

Appreciation of the History and Design Details of "Ren Shou Tong Deng"

Why is this silver coin called "Ren Shou Tong Deng"? This is not only an artistic masterpiece among Republican-era silver dollars but also embodies profound cultural symbolism.

  • Recreation of Huairentang in Zhongnanhai: The design on the reverse of the silver coin is not just a common landscape, but "Huairentang" in Beijing's Zhongnanhai. This was a landmark building during Xu Shichang's administration.

  • Meaning Analysis: This coincided with Xu Shichang's 67th birthday and the third anniversary of his administration. The four characters "Ren Shou Tong Deng" are inscribed below the design, taken from the Analects of Confucius, "The benevolent live long," meaning benevolence and longevity coexist.

  • Birthday Celebration Figures Details: Upon closer inspection of the lower right corner of the reverse, a group of tiny "birthday celebration figures" is engraved, vividly and expressively. This is an important secret mark for authenticating Xu Shichang silver coins; high-quality fakes often have blurred details and stiff lines in this area.

  1. Commemorative Significance: This coin commemorates Xu Shichang's election as President of the Republic of China in the seventh year of the Republic (1918) and was minted by the Tianjin Mint during the third anniversary of his administration (1921) and his 67th birthday to show commemoration and congratulations.
  2. Exquisite Design: The obverse of the silver coin features a three-quarter profile portrait of Xu Shichang, wearing a suit and medals, with delicate and立体 details; the reverse center, within a pearl rim, shows an exterior view of Huairentang in Zhongnanhai. The four characters "Ren Shou Tong Deng" are inscribed on the lower left, "中華民國十年九月" (September of the Tenth Year of the Republic of China) is inscribed above the pearl rim, and "紀念幣" (Commemorative Coin) below. Two five-pointed stars are engraved at the lower ends of the left and right sides, and a group of birthday celebration figures is in the lower right corner, vividly and expressively.

Multiple Versions: There are various versions of this commemorative coin, such as the "without inscription" version (originally a master die with blank space reserved for the recipient's name), the "engraved English" version (with English manually engraved on the reverse), the reeded edge with "紀念幣" version, and the plain edge without "紀念幣" version, each with its unique features.
  4. Scarcity: Only dozens of Xu Shichang's "without inscription" versions survived at the time, and even fewer exist today, making them extremely precious. Other versions are also particularly valuable due to their limited numbers.
