}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. Legends continued through copies/reissues; inscription alone is not a unique date or dynasty attribution.
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.
