Photographs and condition
Keep enough context around close-ups of obverse, reverse, edge, denomination, date, mint marks, weight, diameter, holder and certificate. Photograph the whole item before isolating labels or marks.
Document surface wear, patina, marks, edge, strike and any holder or grading label. Note anything that is damaged, replaced or no longer present.
Storage, accessories and handover
To avoid changing the condition, leave each coin in its current holder or capsule. Do not clean, polish or test the surface, and handle it only by the edge when necessary.
Until handover, keep each coin with its holder, certificate, invoice and provenance documents.
