The stamp and coin card market is the older stamp and coin card market in Dahai City. It used to be under the Yue Building, but is now in the antique market below the Hua Building.
Although this stamp and coin card market is small, there are shops selling ancient coins, modern coins, banknotes, and stamps, and the varieties are relatively complete.
The items in the market are neatly arranged and of high quality.
The vast majority of business operators are locals from Dahai City, and their business level is relatively high. It is almost impossible to find something wrong here.
"Do you really think I'm stupid? You can always see some real things here. Go to the porcelain market above? Or the bronzes, calligraphy and painting market?" Zheng Yu said.
Choose wisely, this antique shop is well known!
Almost everything is sold here, such as jade and jade, celadon pottery, Buddhist incense burners, famous calligraphy and paintings, the four treasures of the study, mahogany utensils, bone carvings and wood carvings, old-fashioned clocks and cameras, they are all available here.
Unfortunately, many things are either fake or extremely expensive.
Looking at the stores one by one, there weren't many that interested Chen Wenzhe.
The business model here is an indoor store style, and each store has its own operating characteristics.
The area of these stores ranges from a few square meters to dozens of square meters, and they offer a wide range of products, including traditional antiques.
"I come here often. Good things are expensive, but cheap ones are not good. It is almost impossible to regain face here!" Zhang Yijie said.
Zheng Yu said nonchalantly: "As long as I buy a few real things, I won't be fooled. Isn't it too much?"
Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "For the sake of your treat today, I will help you find a few genuine products. Make an agreement first, so you don't have to think about missing the ones."
Several people walked and looked at it, banknotes and other things passing by. None of the four of them liked these things.
I don’t even look at modern coins. These things are just hyped. If you want to increase the value, there must be a catastrophic disaster, and most of them will be destroyed directly, so that the price can soar.
The purpose was clear and the speed was fast, but after a while, Chen Wenzhe stopped and saw something good.
It feels a bit unexpected, but maybe it's just good luck?
It couldn't be arranged by the system, right? The treasure hunt mission was just released and it was actually found?
It was a shop that dealt in ancient coins. There were many ancient coins stacked on a set of glass counters outside.
What Chen Wenzhe is interested in is a coin squeezed on the glass surface. It looks a little different.
Compared with the piles on the counter, this coin standing on the gap of the glass counter is a bit thick and looks very comfortable. The most important thing is that it is darker, which is a typical dark antique.
Among the pile of yellow copper coins, a black coin appeared, which was very conspicuous.
What's more, it is still standing there, especially conspicuous under the light of the store.
Either this is not fishing, or the store owner is blind!
No matter which one it is, you have to give it a try in case you miss it!
Chen Wenzhe discovered that he was lucky today and might be able to find something good.
"What's wrong?" Cao Qingchun first noticed something strange about Chen Wenzhe.
"Look at those piles of copper coins, they should all be genuine!"
Because Chen Wenzhe didn’t see any signs of distress, it was naturally authentic.
Zhang Yijie said in surprise: "Are they all genuine?"
His family has a store here. Doesn’t he know what’s going on here?
Although the quality of the antiques here is relatively high, it does not mean that there are fewer fakes, there are more.
The quality here is high, mainly because you can still buy genuine products here as long as you pay a certain price.
I didn’t want to pay a high price, so what I bought was the same as what I bought elsewhere, all modern handicrafts.
For example, the copper coins in various antique shops are likely to have been recently produced by the same factory.
Also, no matter how big or small the stores here are, they are all wholesalers. What they wholesale is what they sell themselves.
Although it feels strange, Chen Wenzhe said it, and naturally it will not be aimless.
Zhang Yijie immediately walked into the store and looked at the pile of copper coins on the counter at the door.
Chen Wenzhe also walked in, but he didn't pay attention to the pile of copper coins.
It is not easy to pick up the leaks.
Looking at this store, his store is quite large, covering forty or fifty square meters, which is considered to be a relatively large area in this antique city.
There are many people in the store, many of them tourists, and even foreign tourists. They are all looking around, and some even inquire about prices from time to time.
Chen Wenzhe also saw a few people holding selfie sticks, as if they were live broadcasting.
Nowadays, in the antique shop, there are many live broadcasts selling goods, and there are many big names gathering here.
“This is an Internet celebrity store, and many Internet celebrities come to check in and bring goods!”
Cao Qingchun did not look at the coins on the counter, but followed Chen Wenzhe as he walked around casually.
It is normal to sell goods through live broadcast. He has come to the antique city many times, and Cao Qingchun has seen a lot of such Internet celebrities.
It's just that he didn't see several live broadcasters bringing goods at the same time in a store.
“Dear friends, take a look at what you like first, then make an inquiry directly if you like it, and no counter-offers are allowed!”
After Chen Wenzhe and the others walked in, a young clerk came over to greet them.
It was obvious that he was very busy. After saying a word, he walked to the other side of the counter to greet the customers.
An Internet celebrity over there bought two boxes of coins at one time and poured out a lot of them.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and found that it was actually a knife coin.
He also heard the live broadcast host talking non-stop about the introduction, and finally quoted four hundred yuan.
I glanced at it again and saw that it seemed to be a Ming Dao. It looked full of green and had a very heavy shape, not the light and fluffy iron piece.
However, in the knife coin market, if there is no damage, but there are still a lot of them together, it can basically be said to be fake!
Of course, it’s hard to tell whether a perfect product that is treasured by a store and marked with a high price is genuine or fake.
"Don't say too much, sometimes I do this too!"
I don't know when Zhang Yijie came over.
Chen Wenzhe smiled bitterly, these Internet celebrities are blatantly deceiving people.
"Knife coin" is a unique and important type of currency in ancient China. It evolved from the fishing and hunting tool knife.
It consists of four parts: the blade head, blade body, handle and blade ring.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it gradually spread to Qi, Yan, Zhao and other places.
The Zhao Dao has a thin and straight blade, also known as a "straight knife".
The sword coins of Yan State often have a large seal inscription with the word "Ming", commonly known as "Yan Ming Dao", or "Ming Dao".
The Qi Dao has a broad and thick blade and is the most exquisite type of sword coin in the Warring States Period.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he began to unify the currency system and changed the style of the special-shaped coins of the past dynasties to the shape of a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.
Obviously, Qi knives are wide, thick and expensive, but the same cannot be said for Yanming knives, which are generally on the thin side.
Perhaps this is difficult to distinguish in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Chen Wenzhe's eyes, it is clear at a glance.
