Olympic Commemorative Banknotes: identity, condition and appraisal details
For Olympic Commemorative Banknotes, the back design provides the broad context, while the serial number needs its own close-up. Follow with the item-specific product identity; separate views of the edge condition, the holder and the watermark should not obscure where each detail appears.
Product-specific identification points
- Product: Olympic Commemorative Banknotes
- Category: banknote
- Key details: the denomination, issue date, prefix or serial number, watermark and printing type
On Olympic Commemorative Banknotes, make the denomination, issue date, prefix or serial number, watermark and printing type readable in one photo sequence and leave an uncertain detail undescribed until a closer view is available.
Views to include with the banknote
Show Olympic Commemorative Banknotes as a whole before photographing the front, back, date, denomination, prefix or serial number, watermark, corners and current holder; do not crop away the area that identifies where each detail appears.
Use close-ups of the paper, folds, stains, pinholes, missing edges and stiffness for Olympic Commemorative Banknotes; nothing should be polished, retouched or rearranged to improve the photographs.
Keeping condition and packaging unchanged
While the banknotes are awaiting review, keep the note flat in its current acid-free holder; do not wash, press, laminate or remove it from a sealed grading holder; preserve the before-handover state in the photographs.
To keep every supplied component traceable to the banknotes, retain the banknote, holder, certificate and provenance document together; photograph holder and serial numbers clearly before handover; separate views can then record damage or omissions.
