"How many?"

"250000"

"Young man, we can't do business like this. Didn't you just say ten thousand?"

I looked at the old man and said seriously: "Are you kidding? When did I say 10,000? This is such money, only 250,000. If you don't accept it, I will take it back. Someone else will."

The old man looked ugly.

The girl named Meimei waved her hand and said, "What's your surname? How do you call it?"

"The surname is Xiang, Xiang Yun."

"Okay, Mr. Xiang, I want to accept it, but your price is too outrageous."

"The current ancient coin market is far less popular than those of porcelain calligraphy and painting, and there are fewer people playing with it. I am willing to offer 100,000 yuan to accept this coin for collection."

Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn't sell it, so she added: "The price is already double the normal price. I just want to collect it."

"make a deal."

I directly stretched out my hand and said, I’ll sell it to you.

She was stunned, but after she came to her senses, she shook hands with me with a smile and said, "Waiting for you to transfer the money, now there is one last step."

"To be on the safe side, I will X-ray these precious ancient coins to see if there is any digging or welding. Do you have any objections?"

"You still have X-rays in this store? Are they so powerful?" I asked in surprise.

She let go of my hand and said with a smile: "Of course, there are more and more masters of fraud in recent years. I want to be on the safe side, please understand.

"How long do you want?"

She said: "Check the copper, side channels, and word openings carefully. It will take half an hour."

I was not afraid of her running away with my copper coins in her shop, so I told her to go ahead and I would wait.

Meimei took the copper coins and went to the next room.

Then, the old man smiled and invited me to sit down and drink tea.

Talking about his granddaughter Meimei, the old man said proudly: "My granddaughter is very talented. She has been interested in ancient coins since she was a child. She can sort out hundreds of coins at the age of 6. So, young man, if you have anything else to do,

When I bring out the goods, my granddaughter always pays a high price."

At this time, Brother Yu kicked me under the tea table.

Brother Yu knew that I still had the same ones, and he wanted to remind me to sell them all as soon as possible.

I continued to drink tea calmly. Not only did I still have a Tian Cong, but I also had Yiji money.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the female boss Meimei came over.

It's just that she frowned and her face didn't look good.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. I really want to accept this money, but I can't."

"What's wrong?

"Didn't we all agree?"

"Why...."

She sighed and explained: "I checked the machine and found that your copper coin is not a new imitation, it is an old imitation from the late Qing Dynasty. It is a Tiancong coin made from the Manchu Tianming Tongbao, Tianming, Tiancong."

, one word difference, but the price difference is a thousand times."

She said with a lingering fear on her face: "I used to be so powerful, much more powerful than people today. If I didn't take X-rays, I would have almost taken medicine and punched my eyes."

"So I can't accept this money. Mr. Xiang, please take it back."

After speaking, she directly pushed the copper coin to me.

Qing Dynasty old imitation?

Is fate digging characters changed to Tian Cong?

I didn't expect how this could be the case.

If I really don’t want it anymore, I won’t accept it. Meimei said that if I still wanted to sell it, I could only give her one or two hundred yuan. She sincerely suggested that I keep it for myself.

I took the copper coins back and checked them again, and I left the Mei Qian Pavilion with Brother Yu glumly.

I was very happy and thought I would get a windfall, but now it suddenly came to nothing.

I didn't give up, so I took the Tiancong money and went to another store to ask. After studying it for more than half an hour, they finally gave it to me, shook their heads and said there was something wrong with the item and they wouldn't accept it.

The sun was gradually setting. When Brother Yu saw that I was unhappy, he patted my shoulder and laughed and said, "Haha! It's okay!"

"It's just a lie. Our big stuff is still behind us. Let's go and find a restaurant to have something to eat and drink. It's time to go back."

We were walking side by side to go to the restaurant, and Brother Yu asked me to throw my big copper coin up and down.

"front back?"

"opposite."

"No, I guessed wrong, try again."

Brother Yu threw the copper coin into the air, but this time he accidentally missed it and the coin fell to the ground with a clatter.

Brother Yu subconsciously bent down to pick it up.

"Wait, that's not right..."

I picked up the copper coins and threw them on the ground and listened to the sound.

How could it be this kind of sound...

The sound of old copper is not like this. Over hundreds of years, oxidation and wear will make the copper coins lighter, and now they sound dull.

I don't understand.

This money is obviously exactly the same as mine.

The copper color, money inscriptions, and rust color, including the wear marks on the openings and side channels, are all the same, but this sound...

I stood up quickly.

"Brother Yu! What a fool! We let that woman trick us!"

"ah?"

"What's the meaning?"

"She's not going to do some testing! She's going to use my money to make sand!"

"It's so fast... In less than half an hour, even the rust color can be made. Some kind of potion must be used! But the sound of old copper cannot be faked!"

I quickly took out my lighter and burned the back of the copper coin.

When I brought it close to my nose and smelled it, I smelled a faint odor, very slight.

I clutched the copper coins tightly and my face was ashen.

That Meimei wears glasses and looks knowledgeable.

Damn it, you dare to play with me like this!

"Brother Yu! Let's go! Go back to find her!"

ten minutes later.

I opened the door and walked into the store with a cold face. Meimei was talking and laughing with the old man.

"you..."

I slapped the copper coins on the glass counter, which startled her.

"Where's my copper coins!"

"Mr. Xiang, what do you mean? Don't you have the money in your hand?"

She asked blankly, her expression looking innocent.

Brother Yu kicked the table over.

Those tea sets and cups were smashed to the floor.

I pointed at her and said, "You are paying me a thousand yuan now, and I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I will knock you out."

"I do not understand what you are saying."

She frowned and said, "If you are making trouble, I will call the police."

I was so angry that I laughed. The thief shouted, "Catch the thief."

"Call the police...."

"You think I'm scared?"

"Also, do you know what I do?"

Bang!

Brother Yu kicked open the glass cabinet. The old man yelled and tried to stop him, but Brother Yu casually pushed him onto the sofa.

"Stop...stop! Stop smashing it!"

"Here it is, let me give it to you."

"Hurry up!"

If she dared to trick me, if she were a man, I would have slapped her with my big mouth.

He led me into the next room, where there was a row of stairs extending downwards, leading directly to the first floor.

There is a studio-like space down the stairs.

There are gas tanks, firewood, a small furnace, many bottles and cans on the table, and several sacks of sand piled in the corner. The sand is red and is 300-mesh foundry sand used for sand casting.

"No, I'll give it back to you."

She opened the drawer and handed me a small wooden box.

I opened the box and put my big copper coins inside.

I put it in my trouser pocket, frowned and asked, "How did you make it in less than half an hour?"

Forced by me, she stepped back to the corner and whispered: "I designed and improved the sand mold. As long as you use real money to make the sand, the speed can be doubled."

"You...take it away, I'm compensating you a thousand yuan..."

"Copper color, rust color, and edge wear, how did you do these?" I asked again.

Meimei lowered her head and whispered: "I...I melted the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty and used the old copper to make the same mold. The rust color and patina are from the potion I researched myself. The edges are the same.

The wear and tear is caused by rubbing the knife."

Seeing that I didn't believe it, she went to the table and tried it quickly. I watched helplessly as she made the same one again.

Have to admit it.

This person named Meimei is a genius. She may be able to imitate copper coins better than Liao Bo's millet.

Now, after so many years, I don't usually play with coins.

If you are collecting ancient coins, you may know that you can now buy "black lacquer ancient coating slurry, cast defect repair fluid, green embroidery fluid, handed down yellow bright fluid, water meter gold fluid, and explosive blue rust fluid" for copper coins online and other places.

wait."

These fake things were basically researched by Meimei first.

Recently, I accidentally thought of Meimei because of a friend of mine. He bought a batch of graded box coins that have been listed in public blogs. The ones starting with No. 1115 include Tianqi Tongbao Secret Eleven Liang, Xianfeng Baoyuan Dang 500 and so on.

These coins are all counterfeit coins cast from the same mold. It is extremely difficult to tell whether they are genuine or fake. Even if they can be identified, the counterfeit coins cannot be put into the official box.

My friend is a veteran and has suffered huge losses. This time he lost more than 200,000 yuan. He asked me.

I've been thinking, who is so awesome?

Who made this batch?

After thinking about it, I think it may have come from Yongzhou Meiqian Hall.

After so many years, Meimei may have solved the problem of old copper silencing.

So I searched online and found several similar stores.

I sent a message and said: "Hey, are you Meimei?"

The other party replied with a question mark, saying that you recognized the wrong person.

I typed again: "Tian Cong's hard-earned money, do you still remember it?"

The other party said nothing and then blocked me.
