After meeting a kind person, Chen Wenzhe also had a headache.
"I can only say that this coin is old, and I can't say anything else. Also, you can ask about it in the market. Maybe there is more than one like this on the market. Otherwise, the small auction company will also
If you're not stupid, how could you possibly sell it for only 1.2 million?"
"Yes, why didn't I think of this? The only reason for selling it at a low price is to sell it quickly, and there must be more than one like this. If there is only one like this, no one will be in a hurry to sell it at a low price.
out."
After saying that, Xiao Xiangqi took out his mobile phone and made several calls in succession.
After the phone call, Xiao Xiangqi's face turned bad.
"How is it?" Li Mingsheng is most concerned about the result. After all, Chen Wenzhe is one of his own.
Xiao Xiangqi smiled bitterly and said: "Those people are really good at taking advantage of loopholes. Many people must have been deceived this time."
"Is there really a silver coin of this grade on the market?" Fan Jiaxuan asked.
Xiao Xiangqi said: "Well, although some versions are different, they are still the same original light, the same precious silver coins, the same certificates from foreign rating agencies, and the same box coins. Just because there is such a box, many people are stunned.
If the medicine can be opened and the box is carefully identified, some experts may be able to identify it, but many people are careless."
"How was it identified?" Mu Kairong also became curious.
Xiao Xiangqi said: "A friend of mine specializes in playing ancient coins. He opened the box and used a high-power magnifying glass to check the edge teeth. There were signs of wear on the edge teeth, exactly as Xiao Chen said!"
"What about other places? For example, the portrait, handwriting, and the distressing on both sides of the silver coin?" Li Mingsheng continued to ask.
Xiao Xiangqi shook his head and said: "Except for the edge teeth, there is no flaw anywhere else. This batch of imitation silver coins will definitely deceive a lot of people."
"Hey, the Tao is as high as the devil!" Mu Kairong didn't know whether he was sighing or what he was talking about.
"What Lao Mu said is wrong. We are not Taoists, and they are not demons. Besides, hasn't someone identified this? Xiao Chen is really good. No wonder he has the ability to open a shop and appraise antiques, but you practical guys are better." Fan Jiaxuan
I highly appreciate Chen Wenzhe.
Chen Wenzhe is unfazed by honor and disgrace. What does this mean?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, just look at my national emblem!"
As he spoke, Li Mingsheng took out a jade national emblem from his pocket.
White and green, it looks really good.
However, if it is carved into the national emblem, it is definitely not an antique, but a modern handicraft.
But the carving is very good, and the jade quality is top-notch, making this national emblem feel very comfortable to look at.
Of course, when you hold it in your hand, it feels delicate and oily, which makes it feel more comfortable.
"Old Li, okay, I still have such a good thing in my hand."
Everyone played around for a while, and naturally they kept saying good things.
"How much did it cost?" Fan Jiaxuan asked.
"Thirty, it's street food!" After saying that, Professor Li nodded solemnly.
"Okay, old Li, if you picked something up, why are you pretending to be here?"
"There is nothing we can do. If we carve it into the national emblem, we won't be able to sell it at a high price!"
"Someone must have thought it was glass, right?"
"This should be."
"Okay, Lao Li is done showing off, it's my turn."
After Fan Jiaxuan finished speaking, he took out a pendant. It was round and transparent. It looked like jade, but it was transparent. Is it a glass product?
"Crystal jade?" Li Mingsheng asked strangely.
"Well, it's a jade, not a ring, nor a jade." Fan Jiaxuan said with a smile.
Judging from his proud look, it was obvious that this thing was not simple.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe also became interested.
This kind of thing is usually carved from jade. I didn't expect to see a piece of crystal jade here.
Crystal products are not uncommon, but a crystal jade with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and it seems to be polished by hand, is very unusual.
If such a large piece of crystal is polished by hand, without a machine, how many man-hours will it take?
Such works were only possible in ancient times. It is impossible for modern people to waste so much time on making such a work.
If it is really an ancient work, it is a pure antique, and its value must be very high.
This piece looks like a jade biscuit at first glance, and jade biscuits have four main uses: one as a sacrificial vessel, the other as a ritual vessel, the third as an accessory, and the fourth as a scale for enameling.
Jade bi is the earliest type of jade in China that has continued to appear. It is a very important auspicious jade. The heyday of jade bi was from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty.
If this crystal jade is authentic, or definitely an ancient work, then it must have been from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty.
Why do you say that? It’s all because of the workmanship!
Under the light, the transparent crystal glows pale pink.
Looking at this crystal up close, it is not pure white, but slightly amber.
There are no lines on the surface. It can be seen that the surface has been polished. Some sponge-like natural crystals can be seen at the bottom and middle.
This must be made of natural crystal, and it is not easy to polish such a crystal wall with crystal.
However, Chinese civilization has a long history, and the accumulation of technology from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty was already very advanced.
China, as the world's main crystal producing area, has a history of using crystals that can be traced back to the ape man in the capital of God 600,000 years ago.
Crystal products have also been unearthed from Neolithic sites and tombs on many occasions.
During the Warring States Period, jade production entered its peak stage.
With the continuous advancement of jade craftsmanship and processing tools, the level of jade grinding has been greatly improved.
Therefore, it is possible for the production technology level of crystal products to reach this level.
In fact, this crystal wall is not very typical. The most typical one is probably the Warring States crystal cup.
When it was first discovered, many people thought it was an ordinary glass left in a tomb by a modern tomb robber.
But after scientific identification, it was discovered that it was a crystal cup made by ancient people 2,500 years ago.
In ancient times, this kind of thing actually happened not only in China, but also in the West.
In fact, the fusion of East and West must start with fun and taste. Works of this nature do not appear suddenly out of nowhere, but have historical heritage.
China has a very long history of using crystals. There are actually some excavation reports on crystal products such as crystal cups in the Lianghe Culture.
Crystal products have been unearthed from Neolithic sites and tombs on many occasions.
After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the production of crystal products became more sophisticated and vivid, and crystal zodiac carvings have been unearthed during the Spring and Autumn Period.
These artifacts use round carving processing techniques, which are technically more difficult than simply drilling and polishing the curved surface.
Around the Tang Dynasty, some glass cups with similar shapes also appeared on the grassland Silk Road.
It's just that before the discovery of this crystal cup, there had never been a large piece of crystal with such high purity in China.
