}Limitations and assumptions
Coin identification, reference applicability and measurement uncertainty require separate evidence. A returned explanation or arithmetic agreement does not establish authenticity, a certified grade or a current market value. Nominal mon labels are not a fixed modern purchasing-power or metal-value ratio.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
