A direct check of the coin should find the exact product name and the visible markings on the coin. That detail helps separate Yuan Shikai Republic of China Year 3 20 Cents Silver Coin from a similarly named item.
Photographs and condition
For the first image set, include obverse, reverse, edge, denomination, date, mint marks, weight, diameter, holder and certificate. Include the packaging where it helps match a mark to the item.
To record condition clearly, photograph surface wear, patina, marks, edge, strike and any holder or grading label. If something is missing, say so and show the remaining packaging clearly.
