In order to order worthless Kaiyuan Tongbao, Chen Wenzhe would definitely not take risks.
Clean these Tang Dynasty copper coins carefully, there must be some valuable ones inside.
But most of them should be ordinary products, such as Kaiyuan Tongbao, which accounts for the vast majority and is exposed in front of you.
Many versions of Kaiyuan Tongbao are relatively low-priced. For example, if they are made of copper, the price is generally not much higher.
"Is this the Qian Yuan treasure?" After a little observation, Chen Wenzhe's eyes were keenly aware of some unusual copper coins, which were relatively large.
"Did his eyes become more powerful?" Chen Wenzhe was a little confused. It turned out that he would never be able to do this.
The skill of Captain Touching Gold is to touch gold. It seems that he can not only touch but also see. Only when he sees it can he touch it.
In order to excavate the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Wenzhe has recently acquired some knowledge about the Tang Dynasty. With the help of his gold-touching skills, he knows the currency of the Tang Dynasty very well.
There are also Tang Dynasty porcelain and Tang Sancai. Of course, Tang knives cannot be forgotten. These are what he pays special attention to.
He was very interested in some valuable items from the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, with just a little observation, I could recognize a valuable copper coin at a glance.
Qianyuan treasures from the Tang Dynasty can be sold for one to two thousand yuan if they are of inferior quality. If they are well preserved, they can sell for more than 20,000 yuan if they are of high quality!
As for the copper coins here, except for the upper layer, the lower ones should be well preserved.
In other words, there are likely to be many twenty thousand here.
"Is this thing worth anything?"
Chen Qingchuan did it without hesitation. He didn't want to destroy anything. There were so many copper coins here, so it didn't matter if he destroyed some.
Of course, he didn't do any damage, but carefully pried open a little bit on the surface of Qianshan, and took out the black Qianyuan treasure that was stuck together on it.
The copper coins below are also stuck together and are also black.
However, there was no dust or much rust underneath, which allowed Chen Wenzhe to see more clearly that this was indeed a Qian Yuan treasure.
"Each piece of this quality can be sold for 20,000 yuan!"
"so cheap?"
"So expensive?"
Chen Wenzhe looked at Chen Qingshan, was this man raised by his wife and not sensitive to money?
"What do you mean by that contemptuous look in your eyes? Is 20,000 yuan a lot? This is a copper coin that has been preserved for more than a thousand years, is it worth so much?"
"No, there are so many here. Can one sell for 20,000 yuan?" Chen Qinglin got to the point.
"Of course you can't release them all at once. If you sell some separately, there should be no problem."
Chen Wenzhe had a headache. He discovered too much, which was also a problem.
This was a happy trouble, and Chen Wenzhe simply left it behind.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
He checked several copper coins, and as long as they were in a bunch, they were all of the same type.
In other words, he got a large bunch, at least several hundred pieces, all of which are Qianyuan treasures, and they can be folded by ten or sold as fifty.
The moment he got the copper coins, Chen Wenzhe knew that the Qianyuan Chongbao was cast by Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, the third son of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji and the seventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In the seventh month of the first year of the Qianyuan year of the Tang Dynasty, a heavy treasure of ten Qianyuan was cast. In March of the second year of the Qianyuan, the fifth Qi memorial was made, and a heavy wheel of Qianyuan was cast. Each piece was worth fifty yuan.
Because the price comparison was too high, everyone from the court, localities to the people destroyed small coins, bronzes, and Buddha statues to cast large coins.
It's okay to be fashionable in the beginning, but in the future, the more money you have to lose weight, just focus on the shape, no matter how light or heavy it is.
Therefore, the people cherish the newly minted official money and hide it as soon as they get it, and no longer circulate it.
As a result, very few were discovered by later generations. Needless to say, these Qianyuan treasures were deliberately hidden by the owner of the tomb.
When they hide money, they must hide good money and use the defective items.
This is a typical case of bad coins driving out good coins. The good coins are all hidden, leaving only bad coins in the market.
The Qianyuan Chongbao was originally minted in very small quantities, and was hidden by wealthy people, and later resold and resolded many times. The ones that survive are already extremely rare.
It’s a treasure outside, but there’s a lot of it here.
"Haha, look what I found?"
While Chen Wenzhe and his two brothers were cleaning up the Qianyuan treasure, Chen Qinglin came over holding a box.
Looking at the beautifully carved figures outside, Chen Wenzhe was surprised. It was normal to have lacquerware in the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that red paint also appeared?
It's a pity that I can't check the information online now, but this is a red lacquer box, so it must be right.
In such a dry environment, it is absolutely possible for the red lacquer box to be preserved for thousands of years.
"Look, is this a gold coin?"
A small red box 40 to 50 centimeters long. I really don’t know how Chen Qinglin found it!
"Gold coins? Where did you find them?" Chen Wenzhe became excited.
If this is really a money vault, maybe some gold and silver can be buried with it. Wouldn't this mean that we have found gold coins?
"On the wall of the opposite passage, there are some small storage compartments. Many things on them have rotted, and only this small box is left."
When he got it in his hand, Chen Wenzhe immediately confirmed that this was Tihong lacquerware. Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty really had Tihong lacquerware.
Take off the lid of the box, and the most conspicuous thing inside is naturally the gold coins.
One of them, Chen Wenzhe took a fancy to at a glance, it was the Qianyuan treasure he had just cleaned up.
The number of Qianyuan Chongbao is already small, but I didn’t expect that there are still well-preserved gold coins here.
These are commemorative coins, which are used by the emperor for rewards, not for circulation.
It seems that the owner of this large tomb must have had great status back then.
"This kind of gold coin is very expensive, isn't it?" At this time, even Chen Qinglin, who didn't know much about money, was looking forward to it.
"It's very valuable, each one is worth less than a million!"
Chen Wenzhe breathed a sigh of relief. After getting such a small box of gold coins, his family's financial pressure was finally solved.
In particular, this Qianyuan Chongbao gold coin is a rare coin that has not been circulated.
I picked it up and looked at it. The fonts on it were clear and powerful, the gold was shining, and the appearance was perfect.
The composition of this kind of gold coins is pure gold, which is very precious and it is difficult to see traces of them on the market.
There are no more than a dozen records that have been handed down to this day, and they are very worthy of collection.
Chen Wenzhe turned out to be a small box. There shouldn't be many gold coins in it.
I found a place and poured it out. Sure enough, there were only ten or twenty gold coins in total.
However, there are some black coins inside, which are particularly conspicuous among the pile of gold coins.
"There are also Kaiyuan Tongbao gold coins!"
Gold is charming. With gold, no one will care about those dark ordinary coins.
Therefore, Chen Qingchuan got several Kaiyuan Tongbao gold coins and looked at them carefully in his hands.
"Well, Kaiyuan Tongbao also has gold coins, and its value is not low!"
Instead, Chen Wenzhe was attracted by those black copper coins. If they could be treasured here, they must be valuable. At least in the Tang Dynasty, they were all rare varieties.
