Four Professional Dimensions Determining Buyback Price
Why can the buyback price of the same "Six Harmonies Pagoda" vary several times over? Based on international banknote grading standards (such as PMG), [Hong Kong & Macau Antiques & Collectibles] has compiled the following key factors:
-
Paper crispness and luster: Uncirculated new banknotes (UNC) have original factory luster and are the most valuable; if the paper is soft, fuzzy, and lacks luster, it is classified as medium to low condition.
-
Creases and damage: Cross-creases, torn edges, or even missing corners will significantly reduce collectible value. For buyback, it is advised not to wash or iron them yourself, to avoid damaging the paper fibers.
-
Ink color saturation: The 1949 edition of the Six Harmonies Pagoda comes in "brown" and "blue" versions. Key evaluation points include whether the ink has faded and whether there are mold spots (red or black spots).
-
Market scarcity: Due to the historical context at the time, most of the First Series Renminbi has been recalled and destroyed. Complete sets or high-grade graded banknotes are highly sought after in the auction market.
