This stall is so small, the reason why Wu Duo can see this thing is because it is not placed on the stall, but someone is holding it and looking at it carefully in the sun.

It's a big buck.

This stall is mainly a stall that sells ancient money. Some were stacked together, and some were in boxes, but they didn't take up much space.

This man with a lot of money is a very energetic man in his thirties.

This copper coin is indeed large, and the diameter must be six centimeters.

It was so big that Wu Duo stood beside the man, and as he held it up and looked through it, he could also see Qian Wen clearly.

The front "Xianfeng ingot", the back of the mouth is "dangqian" two words, the left and right are the Manchu "Baoquan", representing the household Baoquan Bureau.

The Chinese characters on the big money are all regular script fonts, the font is dignified and handsome, and the words are deep and sharp, such as axes and chisels. (The Chinese characters above are all in traditional Chinese, and the Chinese characters in the text are simplified.) ）

On the whole, the copper color is yellow and bright, and it is ripe and moist.

After seeing it clearly, Wu Duo sighed slightly.

But when I sighed, my eyes were still deeply attracted because it was so beautiful.

If this big coin is genuine, then it should be the "Xianfeng Ingot Dangqian" carving mother!

Therefore, even if it is so beautiful, even if Wu Duo has not yet gotten his hands on it, the first feeling is still not real.

Because this thing is so rare! so rare that Wu Duo doesn't believe that he can encounter it at an antique stall. However, I am reluctant to go, and I want to take a final look.

Copper coins are generally minted.

The carving mother is not ordinary, it is carved out.

Before you can mint a coin, you have to make a carving mother. The carving mother is also called Zu Qian, and the words on it are hand-carved, which is obvious in contrast to casting. Clear, beautiful, and there's no way to be muddy or blurry.

The money that is recast with the carved mother as the version is called the mother money.

The next step is to use the mother coin to mint a large number of coins. The best of the first coins made from the mother coin were used as sample coins.

Therefore, the most expensive coin of the same dynasty and the same edition is the carved mother, because the number is scarce, and after the mother coin is recast, the carved mother must be archived and stored in the warehouse according to the regulations.

There will not be any traces of casting on the carved mother, because it is hand-carved. However, the mother of carving is also the hardest hit area of counterfeiting, because the mother of carving is often more expensive, and the counterfeiting of copper coins is relatively easy compared to other antique categories.

If the "Xianfeng Ingot Dangqian" carving mother in the man's hand is genuine, then it is a few million things!

A few years ago, there was a "Xianfeng ingots as 500" carving mother on auction, which was also from the Baoquan Bureau, and it was auctioned at a high price of more than 2 million. The Baoquan Bureau is the central minting agency and belongs to the Ministry of Households, and there is also the Baoyuan Bureau, which belongs to the Ministry of Industry. In addition, there are various local mints.

"Being five hundred" is definitely not as good as "being a thousand".

Xianfeng ingots and Xianfeng heavy treasures, these two kinds of big money, because of the excellent copper quality, the money is exquisite, in the Qing Dynasty copper coins, belong to the very sought after varieties.

Emperor Xianfeng is a very sad emperor, it can be described as internal and external troubles, the arrears of the Opium War have not been paid, the second Opium War signed a new treaty of reparations, and the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, as well as years of natural disasters, as well as the man-made disasters of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The man got tuberculosis again, and collapsed in his thirties.

Xianfeng Dynasty because of the Taiping Rebellion, the transportation of Yunnan copper was blocked, so the copper materials for coinage were in a hurry, and the small coins circulating during this period were of poor quality and rough craftsmanship.

What to do? Let's make a lot of money!

Xianfeng heavy treasure, when ten, when twenty, when fifty; Xianfeng ingots, when hundred, when five hundred, when thousand.

This saves copper.

The diameter of Xianfeng heavy treasure is generally 3.5 cm to 4 cm, and the diameter of Xianfeng ingots can reach more than 5 cm or even 6 cm.

Since the copper is saved, so many are used for one top, and the copper quality and craftsmanship are not sloppy. After all, the circulation is not large, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be said.

At the same time, the fonts of Xianfeng Chongbao and Xianfeng ingots are also very beautiful.

Because it is sought after, the price of Xianfeng heavy treasure and Xianfeng ingots is relatively high.

Although there are many varieties, the most common Xianfeng heavy treasures also cost hundreds of pieces each, and there are many varieties of thousands and tens of thousands of pieces.

And Xianfeng ingots are higher than the price of Xianfeng heavy treasures.

As for the boutique products of "Xianfeng Ingot Dangqian" Baoquan Bureau, it has been auctioned for more than one million many times.

Therefore, if this is the carving mother of "Xianfeng ingots as thousands", it is not an exaggeration to say millions.

The man in front of the stall looked at the big money and was quite patient, but since Wu Duo was reluctant to leave, he could only watch from the side.

Ning Shuang smiled and motioned to Wu Duo to go to the opposite stall first. It's not good for too many people to stare at this man.

The stall owner is not very old, he should be less than forty years old, his eyes are very small, and he is gone when he smiles. After Ning Shuang left, he smiled and said to Wu Duo, "Dude also plays with coins?"

"I'll just take a look. Wu Duo responded, "You seem to be mainly clearing money here!"

The stall owner couldn't see the big money in Wu Duo's hand while waiting for the man, but the man was still looking at it, and he couldn't say anything, so he said again, "I still have a Kangxi Tongbao Arhat money here, do you want to take a look?"

Kangxi Tongbao Luohan money is also a more sought-after variety in Qing money.

This kind of Kangxi Tongbao is no different in size from ordinary Kangxi Tongbao, but judging from the money text, the word "Xi" is one less vertical than other Kangxi Tongbao. The most special thing is copper, which is darker yellow and slightly more like gold.

There is no conclusive historical information about Luohan money, mainly because there are many legends, such as when the money was minted, there was a gold Arhat who was melted into the copper raw material, and so on.

At the same time, Luohan money has been endowed with many beautiful meanings, such as giving it to a loved one, such as someone calling it longevity money.

The price of Luohan money has been rising in recent years, but it is still incomparable with Xianfeng ingots, and there are only thousands of beautiful products.

Wu Duo was not very interested in Luohan money, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, when the man holding the "Xianfeng Ingot Treasure as a Thousand" spoke to the stall owner: "Boss, be realistic, give a price that can be sold!"

"At the price I just said, it can't be lower. The stall owner didn't talk to Wu Duo anymore and answered.

The man shook his head, "You quoted too high, this thing is a handicraft, you can buy a good version of a good (Xianfeng) treasure at this price!"

"I really can't let it go, and it's hard to say if this thing is a handicraft or not!" the stall owner kept smiling on his face.

"What's so hard to say? There is no real thing on the market at all! Last year, there was a carving mother who was a thousand treasures in the Qianbaoquan Bureau, and all of them were sold in foreign auctions!" The man meant that "Xianfeng ingots were a thousand" Baoquan Bureau carving mother, and no one believed it to be true when she appeared in the big auction, let alone in such a small stall.

The smile on the stall owner's face was gone, and he seemed to have a lot of reaction to the man's words, he directly stretched out his hand, "It's really the lowest price!"

Seeing the stall owner stretch out his hand, the man didn't grind anymore, and put it directly on his palm, "Then forget it." ”

As soon as the man turned around, Wu Duo smiled and stretched out his hand to the stall owner, "I've been in line for a long time, it's time for me to see." ”

The stall owner put a lot of money in Wu Duo's hand again, "Little brother, my price is not low!"

"Low or low, I have to look at things first. Wu Duo had already followed along just now, so after getting started, he simply weighed the weight and "listened".

As soon as he figured it out, before he could fully digest it, an old voice sounded beside Wu Duo, "What a coincidence!"

I was so focused just now that I didn't notice that someone was coming over, Wu Duo immediately turned his head and saw that it was Guan Zhiyu!

"Old man Guan?" Wu Duo's face was shocked, "Are you here to visit the stalls too?"

"Isn't it okay?" Guan Zhiyu smiled slightly. On the side behind him, there was also the bearded Wang Wei, who also nodded at Wu Duo at this time.

Wu Duo took advantage of the situation and looked back, Ning Shuang on the opposite side of the stall was also looking this way, Wu Duo gave her a look and signaled her not to come over yet.

"I just met you a little unexpectedly, aren't you busy today?" Wu Duo then smiled at Guan Zhiyu.
