0011 Copper Coins & Silver Coins Ask for Diamonds!

"The average copper content of copper coins in the Qing Dynasty was only seventy percent, and the copper content of the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong was a little more......"

Zhou Miao was stunned, and her lips moved: "That's a loss!?"

After a pause, Zhou Miao said again: "It's mine." ”

Jin Feng picked up a lump of money casually, and said lightly: "No loss!"

"Earned!"

Zhou Miao was stunned and looked up at Jin Feng.

Jin Feng got up and took the toolbox over, took out the heart piercing and changed the cone, violently inserted the money into the cylinder, and pried it heavily.

The money was divided in half.

Then he separated the rest of the money in the tube, and asked in his mouth: "I asked Lao Yuantou, where did you collect the money?"

Zhou Miao shook her head: "That old fox is very treacherous. ”

"But it should be collected in Xicheng District, the shantytown over there was renovated and demolished, and Lao Yuantou has been picking up bargains there these days. ”

"Specializing in old men and old women. ”

"Brother Feng, are these copper coins worth?"

"I didn't know until I cleaned it up. ”

Jin Feng asked Zhou Miao to bring the old vinegar from home, mix it with some water, and throw the money into it.

After soaking the money in vinegar water for half an hour, Jin Feng threw the cone to Zhou Miao again, and the two of them quickly dismantled more than a dozen pieces of money.

In the dim light, mosquitoes and moths in the wilderness swooped like fires, densely nailed to the light bulbs.

The scrapyard is the most popular place to attract mosquitoes and flies, and it is next to the swamp, and the buzzing bombardment of mosquito armies on summer nights is tingling.

The sound of slapping was endless, and Zhou Miao was bitten so hard that she grinned, scratching her body with one hand.

Jin Feng got up and went up the garbage mountain, tossed around and made a half-noise, picked up a piece of firewood, and used a firewood knife to split it and set it on fire.

Bursts of fragrance overflowed from the lit firewood, and in the green smoke, after a while, the surrounding mosquito trail magically disappeared.

Zhou Miao felt slightly strange, looked around, and then looked at Jin Feng.

"Brother Feng, what are you using?"

"Camphor tree!

Zhou Miao sighed and said in a low voice: "You still know a lot." ”

Jin Feng's movements were very swift, and more than a dozen cylinders of money were quickly dismantled into copper coins piece by piece.

I came and went, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Jin Feng kept beating his waist, moving his muscles and bones, a little annoyed.

This body is ridiculously bad. It's not as good as one percent of what I was back then.

There are still many things to do in the future, but the first thing to do is to get this body bone right.

The body is the real capital.

Dry the coins with dry clothes, and Jin Feng inspected each coin next to each one.

During the time when he sent the immortal bridge, Jin Feng had already remembered everything he saw and heard.

Nowadays, the coins of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty have become antiques.

For Jin Feng, the coins of the Qing Dynasty were not eye-catching at all, but now they are different.

Among these tubes, there is Kangxi Tongbao, which is made by the Baoquan Bureau. There are also Qianlong Tongbao and Yongzheng Tongbao, which come from various provincial bureaus.

Zhou Miao boiled a large pot of boiling water, and Jin Feng threw the coins he could use into it.

This is the most practical way to clean up old coins.

"As long as the ...... of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing"

"Others are worthless, don't. ”

"Don't boil the water, if it is bad, the price will fall. ”

After instructing Zhou Miao, Jin Feng entered the low bungalow, took off his pants, and rinsed them.

The big hole on the leg was twenty centimeters long, and it hurt so much.

Looking at the messy and dilapidated room, the sour and pungent smell in his nose, Jin Feng sighed deeply.

Lighting a cigarette and coming out, Zhou Miao had already fished out more than a dozen coins and placed them in a tattered plastic basin.

Picked up a few and looked at them, two of them have revealed the true face of Lushan, and although the other few still have black rust, the font has all been revealed.

After a few coins were soaked in hot water, Jin Feng brought a toothbrush and began to clean some flaws on the coins.

A Kangxi Tongbao was placed in Jin Feng's palm.

Kangxi Tongbao is the most common is made by the Baoquan Bureau, and there is an extra vertical on the left side of the Kangxi character on the front, and the word Baoquan in Manchu is behind it.

The one in Jin Feng's hand is a coin from the Baofu Bureau, the treasure character is Manchu, but the blessing character is a Chinese character, and the price is not low.

With a flick of his thumb, Kangxi Tongbao flew into the night sky with a crisp chirp.

Spread your hand slightly, and the coin is falling.

As soon as the palm is wrong, the coin emerges from between the ring finger, from the middle finger into the palm of the hand, and then from between the thumb.

The dexterous technique made Zhou Miao on the side stunned for a moment, and then Jin Feng's hand shook, and the coin suddenly fell to the dust.

Jin Feng's face was a little unsightly, and he silently picked up the coin.

Zhou Miao stretched out and handed Jin Feng a coin.

"Brother Feng, what do you see what this is?"

"It's not the same as copper coins. ”

The coin in front of me is different from the copper coin, the copper coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, but this one is full circle, and the pressure feel is heavier.

The two sides of the coin are black, and they look down on their original face.

Jin Feng pressed his thumb tightly on the side of the coin and rubbed it heavily, and mumbled.

"Silver!?"

Zhou Miao leaned over and said softly, "Silver dollar?"

"It's not a silver dollar. It's a silver coin. ”

"Do you want to cook?"

Jin Feng shook his head and said, "Copper coins can be boiled, but silver coins cannot." ”

"After boiling the pulp, it will melt, and it is not worth much. ”

"The old ones are worth the money. ”

This time, Jin Feng found the sleeve of a cashmere coat in the tattered scraps, placed the silver dollar in it, and began to rub it slowly.

The water in the pot cooled slowly, and the copper coins were fished up by Zhou Miao, and gently wiped them with a toothbrush according to the method taught by Jin Feng.

There are a total of three Shunzhi Tongbao, six Kangxi Tongbao, ten Qianlong Tongbao, ten Yongzheng Tongbao and eleven Jiaqing Tongbao.

At this moment, Jin Feng also stopped grinding.

The hand slowly spread, and a silver coin with a diameter of fifteen centimeters flashed in the night.

Zhou Miao leaned over again and read out loud to the words on the front of the silver coin.

"Salary Junzhou Zhang!"

"It's Zhangzhou's military salary!"

The Zhangzhou military salary on the silver coin is in traditional Chinese characters, arranged from left to right, but it is not very standardized.

Underneath the words state and army is a pattern.

This pattern is somewhat like a cow character, missing a horizontal line below, and there are several messy silk threads wrapped around the broken cow character.

Although the silk threads are very mixed and winding, the overall appearance is unique.

Flip it over and look at the back of the coin, and there are two character foot patterns on it.

There are two more words under the foot lines, pass!

Zhangzhou military salary!

Foot pattern passes!

Zhou Miao pointed to the silver coin and said, "Brother Feng, isn't this valuable?"

"It's not worth much in the Republic of China. It's worth the money now. ”

"I didn't see this kind of silver coin in the Immortal Bridge. ”

"This kind of silver coin should not appear in Bashu. ”

Jin Fengyun said these words lightly, and Zhou Miao on the side stood stunned for a while, and bowed his head silently.

"You still know more. ”

There were still more than a hundred copper coins left on the ground, Jin Feng swept them with his eyes, and finally put them away and threw them into the pot.

These copper coins cover everything from Shunzhi to Xuantong, and most of them are made by the Sichuan Bureau.

In the Qing Dynasty, all provinces had coinage institutions, and most of the Tongbao made by the Sichuan Bureau were ordinary in size, different in weight, and the amount of money in the world was very large, and the price on the market was not high, so there was basically no collection value.

By the time of Guangxu, Western technology was introduced, and the coins on the market were replaced by machine-made coins, that is, small copper dollars without holes.

And then the last emperor Xuantong here, the coinage has become unprofitable, and it has been replaced by a mechanism copper dollar.

Only the Baoquan Bureau has made a small copper coin, which weighs one penny, and is called Xiaoxuantong.

From the first emperor unified the six countries, the book with the same text, the car with the same track since the minting of Qin half two coins to the official end of Xuantong Tongbao, lasted 2,000 years, throughout the entire history of China, and is also unique in the world.

After putting away the coins, it was late at night.

The sound of frogs and insects in the swamp could be heard clearly in the silence of the night.

There was another pig-killing roar from the house of the three babies next door.

The two moans grew louder and louder, accompanied by the clatter of the improvised bed boards, and the long gasp of the three mothers-in-law.

"Brother Feng, can our scrap yard still be opened?"

In the narrow small room, Zhou Miao lay quietly on the bed, a pair of black pupils flickering gently in the dark.

Jin Feng smoked a cigarette and asked softly, "It doesn't matter if you open it or not." ”

"Do you want to open it?"

In the dark, Zhou Miao turned her head, looked at Jin Feng, and said in a low voice.

"I don't know. ”
