Chapter 252 One word difference!
"I say it's true, do you still need to see it?" Han Qi smiled.
Xi Qichang sighed, "Zhong Yue, if you concentrate on learning calligraphy and painting, don't be distracted from doing other things. The water in the antique industry is still too deep. Even if you have some skills in appreciating calligraphy and painting, you still don't have enough to read it."
"Old Xi, please help me take a closer look."
Xi Qichang raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll help you find it. I know, you are looking for your mother's money again, right? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Those people are very terrified, and their mother's money is carved, and you can see it at a glance."
Ouyang Ming knew that he was talking about copper coins, but when did a mother's money come out again, he asked: "Old Xi, what mother's money? Isn't this copper coins?"
"This ancient copper coins were cast by sand turning method. Whenever new coins were released, they were directly carved into a coin mold, that is, carved mother or mother coins. When casting coins, they were made of ancestral coins as molds, and turned into mother coins. The carved mother coins were exquisite, with deep and steep mouths. The strokes of each character were very clear and there was no obstruction. The strokes were thinner than the circulation coins of the same version. From the details, there were still traces of hand-carved carvings. Therefore, the amount of mother coins in existence is less than that of flat money, and the carvings were exquisite, so the collection value was relatively high. A mother coins, with a good quality of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, would not be able to escape."
While talking about the knowledge of coins, Xi Qichang took out Zhong Yue one by one, "This money is not mother's money at first glance. I think you'd better give up this idea."
Zhong Yue was also thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. It was impossible. He had clearly seen the money shining white before, but had it flowed away from his fingertips?
Xi Qichang threw the copper plates one by one on the table, "So I said, young people should not take shortcuts, read books well, and then..." His hands suddenly stopped.
"Old Xi, what's wrong?"
"This money..."
Han Qi was a little surprised, "Have you really found the mother's money for this kid?"
"No... Look at this money... It's a bit strange. The money from the Qing Dynasty was written in Manchu or Chinese on the back, or there were Manchu and Han. Why didn't the words on the back of this money?"
Han Qi took the money from Xi Qichang's hand, "No, this style will be different."
Zhong Yue also picked up a Qianlong Tongbao, which was different from the one in Han Qi's hand. The money edge of Qianlong Tongbao was very wide, but the money edge of Xi Qichang's hand was narrower.
"This money is not a currency from the Qing Dynasty!" Han Qi obviously studied the coins, and when Xi Qichang reminded him, he immediately noticed the strangeness of the money.
Although Qianlong Tongbao has many versions, the basic styles are the same, especially this money edge, which will not change in fixed style. The only thing that can be explained is that this money is not a currency from the Qing Dynasty.
Ouyang Ming learned to sell it now, and he was like an old bird with something in his belly. He said in a pretty good manner: "I think it's probably made of something."
Xi Qichang shook his head, "I don't think it's. Qianlong Tongbao's flat money is not very valuable. Even if it is a pseudo-master, it is impossible to be so shoddy. Lao Han, you see, there is also copper on these words."
"Flowing copper? Mr. Xi, what is flowing copper?" Ouyang Ming asked.
"This flowing copper means that the process of making this coin is not rigorous, which causes copper water to overflow outside the original strokes when pouring copper water, causing this phenomenon, which is called flowing copper."
Ouyang Ming understood a little, "That's the bad product?"
"It can be said that."
"Then there is no need to worry about it. It's not worth it or a defective product. So what else can I study?"
"Do you know how much the wrong version of RMB is worth now?" Han Qi asked back.
Ouyang Ming seemed to have heard something huge, "How much is the money worth? Mr. Han, are you teasing me?"
"Money is just a reflection of value. The banknotes you use are just symbols. Mr. Han means that the banknotes we use are all produced by mints, and they rarely make mistakes. Therefore, the wrong version of RMB is often used as a collector. Of course, if you take it to the bank to exchange for money, the 100 yuan is only 100 yuan, and there is no change." Zhong Yue added.
"Yes, this is different for those who have read books. Ah Ming, if you read more, you won't suffer any loss."
Ouyang Ming said with some displeasure: "Then I have been talking about this copper plate for a long time. Is it worth it?"
"this……"
Han Qi frowned and murmured to himself: "The only explanation is that it may not be Qianlong Tongbao." He looked at the words that were corroded by copper rust directly below the word "gan".
"If it weren't for Qianlong...whose emperor's reign was started with Gan?"
Han Qi said: "To find the year number and the style of this coin must match that era. My culture is also a bit stretched, so I need to study it carefully."
"Old Han, don't say that. You are specialized in your profession. You are not an expert in studying ancient coins. You two are just here to take a look at it, so don't worry too much."
Xi Qichang raised his head and said, "Zhong Yue, use your mobile phone to check the ancient emperor's year name that starts with Gan's character."
"Oh, OK."
"It took Gan Ming from Northern Qi to take one year, in 560 AD."
Xi Qichang frowned, "I have used it for a year, and I'm afraid there is no reference for this at the moment. Let it be put aside first, and it will be verified, the next one."
"Yes." Zhong Yue lowered his head and continued to search, "During the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang..."
Han Qi interrupted: "The Tang Dynasty can skip it. I understand the style of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty, which is not like this. The two Song dynasties also skipped it, and the two Song dynasties' currency is not like this."
Zhong Yue looked at it for a long time and said, "Then the only one left is Qianheng and Gantong of the Liao Kingdom, and they are on the main roads of Xixia, and they are gone."
Xi Qichang nodded, "It seems that it is not as expected. If it were not during the war or the alien regime, Zhong Yue, this is not yet finalized. Lao Han and I will take a photo first and go back to study it with a few old friends, but I can tell you very clearly that you have made a profit by buying this coin!"
"That's right, if it's the currency of Liao or Xixia, it's worth at least 1,000,000 yuan, but if it's from Northern Qi..." Han Qi took a deep breath, "The value is incalculable."
"Important? Mr. Han, isn't that exaggerated, right?"
Han Qi looked at Ouyang Ming and said, "What do you think after more than 1,400 years? And it only took one year's year number, and the number of coins minted must be rare. If it were really a Gan Ming Tongbao, the estimated price of this copper coin might be 500,000."
Ouyang Ming was a little stunned, "Three hundred yuan, five hundred thousand?" He was a little confused.
"Brother Yue, tell me, you're confused, right?"
Zhong Yue looked at Ouyang Ming and said, "I just saw that the money is different and I couldn't spend much money, so I bought it. As for what the money it was, I don't know, so I came to Mr. Xi and Mr. Han."
"What else have you bought besides the money? Take it out." I originally thought that Zhong Yue had a bad view, but after seeing the money, Han Qi looked at Zhong Yue with admiration, and didn't know what good things he would take out.
Zhong Yue looked around and said embarrassedly: "There is one more."
“Where?”
"The one under your butt..."
