Chapter 304 Start with money
Chapter 304 Start with ‘money’
Not to mention the vendors on the antique street, they all have the ability to observe their expressions and look smart like monkeys, just say something obvious like "collecting money". As long as they dare to get involved in the hawkers who manage ancient coins, who don't know their true value?
Therefore, it is not surprising that such things can be encountered on street stalls on Antique Street.
You know, this is an antique street, and this is a street stall. The more valuable the thing is, the higher the probability of appearing here. Didn’t Jia Sidao see the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” before? It’s a real thing in the Palace Museum! Even if you take it out, you need to go through multiple procedures to review before you can get it approved! Not to mention that it appears in a place like Linhai Antique Street for sale!
In this way, Jia Sidao's heart has no confidence in whether he can appear again in ancient coins, similar to those in his hometown, and receive a chance to "return money" to find a bargain. Fortunately, even if he is not planning to buy any ancient copper coins, go and check it out first to see if there are any special coins and gain some knowledge.
Isn’t it just for walking around the Antique Street to open your eyes?
If I really said that every time I come to the antique street, I always have the intention of finding a bargain, then such people are really not suitable to enter the antique industry!
Although Jia Sidao hopes that he can pick up bargains every day, it is best to keep picking up bargains and keep picking up bargains, the facts undoubtedly made Jia Sidao more clear-headed to realize that unless he is asked to bet on stones, he constantly uses the perception of superpowers to bet on stones every day. In addition, no matter what quality of jadeite raw stones you encounter, as long as you make money, you will bet on them all. Then, after cutting the stones, you will immediately sell the jadeite material, and even if you make a small profit, you must take action as soon as possible. In this way, whether it is in terms of funds or ability, he can still barely maintain the situation of "picking up bargains" every day, right?
However, in this way, the exposure of Jia Sidao's supernatural perception is also obvious.
If you really encounter any dangerous situation, God knows if you are other stone gambling experts, out of jealousy, or some sluts who want to make money and kill them...
Most of the antique stalls in front of me were occupied by jade gadgets, and there were still many stamps near the right. Jia Sidao took a few glances and flipped the stamp album. The whole stamp album seemed quite old, and the stamps inside were the same!
Jia Sidao couldn't see which famous stamps were among them, or which ones were more valuable. After asking the vendor, the other party simply said: "You can take away the original stamp album for five hundred yuan."
Jia Sidao was speechless. At this moment, he no longer cared about stamps, jade, and so on. He didn't flip through the other few stamp albums, but began to carefully check the copper coins on the stalls. Almost all of the copper coins were piled up by the vendors, without any rules. It seemed that the vendor in front of him didn't understand coins very well. Unlike the jade items on the left, they were very rules.
Jia Sidao looked at the jade on the left side of the stall. From Jia Sidao's perspective, on the whole, those with higher value were placed at the back of the stall by vendors. The jade jewelry that was low in value, even plastic and stone dyed after the jade jewelry were placed at the front of the stall. Of course, maybe the antique vendors themselves do not have enough eyesight, or the antique vendors had the idea of being fake and real, and the jade jewelry at the back was mixed with some low-value accessories, but both in terms of craftsmanship and appearance, they were relatively glamorous!
The real thing is real and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false!
Jia Sidao believed more that the hawkers had such a layout, which should be for the latter reason!
He lowered his head and flipped the copper coins while checking. Jia Sidao's movements were very fast, and almost seemed to be checking the front and back sides of the copper coins, as well as the font engraved on it! As for whether Jia Sidao was looking for "hebei" coins and "hebei" coins, only Jia Sidao himself knew...
The stall owner was not old and was roughly similar to Xiaoma. After seeing Jia Sidao's actions, he did not have much reaction from it. Anyway, these copper coins and other things would not be broken by just looking around. However, Jia Sidao was a little happy about it, and his hands were almost getting faster and faster. Sometimes, the stall owner and vendor were wondering whether the young man in front of him had clearly seen the copper coins in his hand when he checked it.
Fortunately, there are many copper coins on the street stalls, not to mention thousands, five or six hundred, there are definitely some. In terms of shape, there are also many. Let’s not talk about the most common circles for now. Other forms, such as diamond-shaped or like ‘knife’, are all. Some have a bit of ‘green and green’ beauty on the surface, because of the age of time and environment, and the rust on the copper coins.
It has a quaint atmosphere!
Jia Sidao flipped and picked it up for a while, and felt his fingers were a little weak, so he stopped. The expected "Hongwang" and "Hongwang" money did not appear in the end, which made Jia Sidao breathe a long time and felt a little disappointed. Even if he thought that such a fact was normal!
Among the copper coins that Jia Sidao passed by, there are very few other types other than the very common types of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as "Chongning Tongbao", "Zhitongyuanbao", "Zhenghe Tongbao", and "Xuanhe Tongbao". Even if a few occasionally appear, it is difficult for Jia Sidao to see what is happening.
First, Jia Sidao, the ancient emperor's reign title, was more familiar with the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Who made the porcelain of this period the most exquisite? For this reason, it would be easier to save money for the copper coins of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties; secondly, there was no font on some copper coins at all, and they could only judge what age it was from the form; thirdly, even if Jia Sidao knew when a copper coins came from, he did not have a very good understanding of its real price!
You should know that ancient Chinese coins have a long history, a variety of varieties, and have high collection and investment value, which is naturally correct. As for the "Hongkong money" in Jia Sidao's hand, there is a high price. Even if that is not the case, it is very interesting just for collectors to look at it, appreciate it, and occasionally play it. If Jia Sidao can collect some "Hongkong money" and play it from time to time, throw coins, and guess the front and back games, it is also good.
However, Jia Sidao also knew that ancient coins are not the better the older they are, and the more ancient they are, the higher the value they are. This is just a misunderstanding for some newcomers who have just entered the industry or have not yet entered the industry. Although, to a large extent, ancient coins with ages are indeed more precious in comparison, however, it is not true to extend such a conclusion to all ancient coins of ages.
Many ancient coins from relatively recent times are also rare and expensive treasures.
Just say that it was the Warring States Period more than 2,300 years ago. The currency of Yan State's "Ming Dao" has very characteristics. Not to mention the past, the era alone can be said to be very old. There are also high-quality "Ming Dao" that has been preserved to this day. However, due to its considerable amount of casting, it is still unearthed from now on, and hundreds of them are often hundreds of them. The price on the market is only sixty or seventy yuan per piece. In addition, what makes people feel even more helpless is that the price of the Han Dynasty "Wuzhu Coins" 2,000 years ago, the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" of the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, and even the "Xuanhe Tongbao" of the Northern Song Dynasty is incredible!
It only costs a few cents to buy it at the coin stall in the antique market!
However, some ancient coins of the same era are also incredible. For example, they are the "Three-Kong Bu Coins" from the Warring States Period. The price of the circulating on the market is as high as more than 60,000 yuan per coin, and they are still in a state of no price. As for the "Zhuangquan Forty" coins cast by Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the "Zhuangquan Forty" coins cast by Wang Mang will definitely not be less than 25,000 yuan per coin on the market. Even the Qing Dynasty coins that were only released more than 100 years ago, there are many varieties of ancient coins that belong to the ranks of tens of thousands of yuan per coin, such as "Qixiang Chongbao", "Chenguo Tongbao" cast during the Tai Kingdom's Heaven Uprising, etc.
Therefore, the surprising degree of value of ancient coins made Jia Sidao, a novice who was not very knowledgeable about ancient coins, became quite nervous when he encountered the ancient coins he was looking at.
The value of ancient coins is so different, and the main reason is the amount of ancient coins that exist.
In history, some dynasties were relatively strong, and a single variety of coins was issued for decades or even hundreds of years. Generally speaking, the amount of ancient coins like this was naturally very huge, and it could almost be said to be surprisingly large. In the current market, it is understandable that the value dropped to a few cents.
Some short-lived dynasties have just tried to mint some sample coins, but before they can be circulated, they have been changed. The number of such ancient coins is very small. As the saying goes, "scarcity is precious." At this time, it can vividly reflect the value of ancient coins.
However, because of this, the higher the value of ancient coins, the more unpopular it is. Just what Jia Sidao knows, the high value of ancient coins cannot be all. So when Jia Sidao looked at the countless copper coins in front of him, he felt a little difficult to start.
On the one hand, Jia Sidao naturally hopes to get a bargain. For example, if you encounter a coin like "Qixiang Chongbao", Jia Sidao can still recognize it. On the other hand, it is because of his lack of ability. Jia Sidao is very worried that something good will be missed by him in vain.
This hesitant scene lasted for a long time. When Jia Sidao's gaze gradually left from the pairs of ancient coins in front of him, the feeling suppressed in his heart gradually loosened as his gaze left!
I looked at the stall owner and vendor. At this time, maybe it was in front of the stall, and his eyes just looked at Jia Sidao. It was obvious that while Jia Sidao was a little disappointed, the stall owner and vendor were also relatively disappointed.
Jia Sidao couldn't help but show a little surprise. Then, Jia Sidao, who came to his senses, raised his lips slightly, pulled it open, and almost laughed out loud. It turned out that he had no choice but to start the stall owners and vendors in front of him thought that they had taken a business.
"Hey, boss, how do you sell these ancient coins?" Jia Sidao casually pointed his finger and asked, "Do you need to choose one by one, or do you have to calculate the price according to the weight?"
Jia Sidao knew that when the hawkers bought piles of ancient coins like they were sometimes calculated by pound. Only when they encountered a small amount of coins would they be purchased according to the quantity. Of course, if there were some special copper coins among the piles of ancient coins, one with a relatively high value, whether it was a hawker or a person selling coins, they would select them in advance and sell them separately. Others, those with low value, would be sold in the form of weight.
In addition, people from completely different industries will only sell them according to the weight when they encounter some vendors who are buying.
But no matter what, Jia Sidao bought copper coins on the street stalls on the antique street, which allowed antique vendors to place them in piles on the street stalls for sale. I think the value of these ancient coins in front of him would not be too high.
However, it was precisely because of this idea that the prices of these ancient coins would not be too much. After a long period of depression just now, Jia Sidao saw the slightly disappointed expression of the antique vendor, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. Anyway, it was impossible to spend a lot of money. It would be okay to collect some ancient copper coins to play with. It would be better to learn more about it! After all, Jia Sidao has some involvement in the ancient coins.
However, after asking a question like Jia Sidao, the stall owner in front of him showed a hint of laughter and crying expression on his face. After he hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "According to the rules, these coins are sold one by one. However, it is a coincidence that I have ancient coins here, and I don't know how to read them myself. If you buy enough, you can sell them to you according to the 'jin'."
"Okay, since it's by pound, that's it. You can tell me the price, how much is a pound per pound." Jia Sidao said indifferently, and in his heart, he didn't understand ancient coins very well and disagreed with what the stall owner said. Now Jia Sidao will not think about what the vendors say, whether it's good news or bad news, and will basically be able to sit in a situation where he is not moved by the words of outsiders. However, after looking at the many ancient coins on the stall again, Jia Sidao added, saying, "By the way, boss, if I buy all the coins here, can it be cheaper?"
Anyway, I am preparing to study, so I will buy more and study it carefully.
"Bring them all away?" The stall owner finally smiled for the first time and said, "Let's do this. If you really take them all away at once, let me see. There are about 600 copper coins here. Just calculate it at the price of one dollar per coin. What about 600 yuan?"
Seeing Jia Sidao frowned, the other party immediately said, "I said that the price of 600 yuan is no longer expensive. You know, no one has ever chosen the copper coins I have. I can't say that there are many valuable coins in it."
"Really?" Jia Sidao said, "Even if no one has ever chosen it, how can you guarantee that it is not because these copper coins are too ordinary?"
"This,..." The other party smiled embarrassedly on his face and said, "Actually, I don't know much about copper coins. You see, I usually sell them on the spot. If someone chooses a few randomly, it will cost at least a few dozen dollars, right? Because you took them all at once, I gave you such a cheap price..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything more. If you don't understand ancient coins, I won't understand even more. I'm going to spend money to study. If the tuition is too expensive, I might as well go to other stalls. There are a lot of ancient coins over there." Jia Sidao pointed to the main road of Antique Street, and then cut the price fiercely and said, "It's only one hundred yuan. If you want, I'll pay, take the things, and leave."
Suddenly, Jia Sidao saw the bitterness on the other person's face. Whether it was pretending or not, that look, in Jia Sidao's eyes, he felt very calm in his heart!
"One hundred yuan is really too little." The stall owner was obviously hesitant and said, "Add to add some more? How about three hundred yuan? It's only the average price of 50 cents per coin..."
"What's the difference between saying this and selling it one by one?" Jia Sidao said with some hilariousness, "At the price of 50 cents per piece, I can buy a bunch of them at other stalls. I can buy as much as I want......"
As he was talking, Jia Sidao's cell phone rang out in an untimely manner.
