Generally determined by professional grading and whether third-party authentication encapsulation is present; original luster and wear significantly affect value.

Circulating coins are everyday currency with face value equal to nominal value; commemorative coins are issued by governments or mints with limited mintage, thematic appeal, and market value independent of face value.

Stamps are sensitive to humidity, high temperatures, and direct light; store in acid-free albums or mounts, avoid touching the surface with bare hands (use tweezers), and keep in a dry, ventilated environment.

Chunghwa Post publishes the annual 'Taiwan Stamp Catalog,' and philatelic associations offer catalogs for reference; catalog prices are indicative, actual transaction prices vary by condition and market demand.
