Generally determined by professional grading and whether third-party authentication and encapsulation have been done; luster and wear greatly affect the assessment.

Internationally, commonly used grading agencies include NGC (coins), PCGS (coins), and PSE (stamps); graded and encapsulated (slabbed) items are easier to identify and have better secondary market liquidity. Local coin and stamp shops in Taiwan can also provide preliminary evaluations.

Circulating coins are intended for daily use, with face value as the minimum worth; commemorative coins are issued by governments or mints in limited quantities and have thematic collectibility, with face value not equal to market value.

Stamps are sensitive to humidity, high temperatures, and direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them in acid-free albums or mounts, avoid touching the surface with bare hands (use tweezers), and maintain a dry, ventilated environment.

Chunghwa Post publishes the 'Taiwan Stamp Catalog' annually, and philatelic associations also publish catalogs. Catalog prices are for reference only; actual transaction prices vary based on condition and market supply and demand.
