Everyone had no choice but to lift their spirits and walk towards the nearest stall.

Sure enough, no matter what the antique market is, bronze coins will never be absent, and as one of the hottest collectibles, bronze coins are definitely an important role.

Teacher Ren looked at it: "Kaiyuan Tongbao, although it is a coin of the Tang Dynasty, it is not valuable!"

Kaiyuan Tongbao is an ancient money of the Tang Dynasty, with a large amount of minting, and there are many posterity, so the price is not high in the market, and most collectors only buy two or three pieces to play with, which is not a treasure.

There are almost no fake Kaiyuan Tongbao on the market, because the price is cheap, and the profit of spending effort to make fakes is too low and not worth it, so few people will seriously distinguish its authenticity.

Hu Yang also looked at it, picked up one of them, and asked with a smile: "Look, what's so special about this Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

Everyone observed carefully, but Andy and others looked left and right, but they still didn't find any problems. Only Mr. Ren found that the second word "Yuan" of "Kaiyuan Tongbao", the last stroke, was missing a tick.

"Huh, this is the wrong coin?" he was pleasantly surprised.

Teacher Ren was about to ask the stall owner the price, but was stopped by Hu Yang with his eyes. Although he didn't know why, Mr. Ren still put down the bronze coin.

In this stall, there is nothing worth asking, everyone looked at it for a while, and then they were not interested, and walked forward, ignoring the stall owner's efforts to stay.

"Brother Hu, is there a problem with that copper coin? The wrong version seems to be quite valuable. Andy asked.

Don't talk about bronze coins, even the current RMB, the wrong version is also quite valuable and valuable. There are often news exposures, and it is not uncommon for a wrong version of RMB to be exchanged for a car, a house, etc.

Hu Yang nodded: "It was only cast in modern times, so naturally it is not of much value." As for the lack of a tick, it was deliberately made into a wrong version, because there were too many Kaiyuan Tongbao in the world, and even those who made counterfeiters disdained to imitate it. Therefore, they can only put their ideas on the wrong version and lead people to be fooled. ”

After speaking, Hu Yang also remembered an incident in the Republic of China, about Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"Speaking of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and it is a wrong version, it reminds me of a story. Of course, it can't be exactly a story, it's a well-founded rumor......"

It is said that during the Republic of China, a person took advantage of a loophole and took advantage of the loophole that everyone would not spend energy to identify the authenticity of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and came up with a clever plan to make a fortune.

At the beginning of the case, the man imitated the ancient system and opened the mold to cast thousands of "Kaiyuan Tongbao" - compared with the genuine Kaiyuan Tongbao, his fake money deliberately made the word "Yuan" shorter.

After minting the fake money, he shipped some of the fake money to Shaanxi and sold it at a low price in real money. Then a certain A went to Xi'an, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and claimed to be the representative of a foreign company in the magic capital.

Rent a luxury car everywhere you go, use luxury, often charter a teahouse, reward celebrities, live in a top suite, in short, you must make a big splash.

After a few days of hard work, the local rich people basically knew about the existence of this person.

At that time, anyone who could deal with foreigners would be awe-inspiring. During the Republic of China, foreigners were rampant and domineering in China, and a name could scare off many people.

There was no way, China at that time was really scared by the great powers.

Therefore, after learning about such a person, many people took the opportunity to make friends.

The momentum was sufficient, and the man published a newspaper in the local area and posted notices everywhere, saying that he had heard for a long time that this was the origin of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and this time he brought a large amount of money to collect Kaiyuan Tongbao and bought it at a high price.

Moreover, people also made it clear that they don't want ordinary Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the wrong version of Kaiyuan Tongbao. It also said that when this version of the money was cast, because the craftsman was not careful, the mold was washed away by the copper liquid, resulting in the lack of hooks in the yuan word and the casting of the wrong money.

As soon as the notice came out, all the locals couldn't sit still, and went home to check whether their families had such wrong money, and some people asked around the market with the intention of buying it.

As a result, everyone checked and found that some time ago, they had really purchased this kind of "Kaiyuan Tongbao" that lacked hooks, and they were overjoyed and happily sent to a hotel where they lived.

"That person didn't refuse the Kaiyuan Tongbao sent by others, and they all gave a very high price. Everyone is not stupid, and when they see that this man is so generous and buys a large amount, they suspect that it is profitable.

So, someone set up a banquet to entertain that guy, pretending to be close, and when the wine was hot, let the prostitute try to ask him.

As a result, in the case of drunkenness, the man said the 'truth'. It is said that there was an inventor in Germany who accidentally discovered that this missing copper coin contained a special metal, which was exactly what he needed to make a very powerful thing, so he recycled it at a high price.

After the man reacted to what he said, he hurriedly told others that this was a trade secret, and he should not tell outsiders.

But since ancient times, the secret of 'not to be with outsiders' has often spread the fastest. For a time, everyone knew the secret. ”

When you hear this, where are you willing to continue to send this kind of wrong money to this person?

People who have this kind of wrong money are very tightly covered, and they also buy a large number of them at a high price outside, ready to stock up on goods.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the guy secretly sold all the wrong copper coins in his hand in one breath, made a lot of money, and then left, disappearing from everyone's sight.

When everyone found out that they had been fooled, they couldn't find the person. Someone was not reconciled, so he reported the case.

"It's a well-known thing in the world of antiques, not fiction. I think that the wrong Kaiyuan Tongbao just now was left at that time. Hu Yang said.

Teacher Ren wiped his sweat, he didn't expect this to happen, he had never heard of it, but Hu Yang also said that this was a very famous event in the antique world more than a hundred years ago. No wonder, just now Hu Yang stopped him from asking the price.

"Actually, there have been quite a few cases of antique counterfeiting in history. Antique counterfeiting, since ancient times, this counterfeiting industry has been full of talents, and the real master is even the emperor who has deceived him. Of course, few end well. ”

Hearing Brother Hu say this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

It's obviously a fake industry, and you say it is so awesome, it makes people quite enthusiastic when they listen to it, such as making a fake thing to cheat the emperor's money, how face-saving it is!

However, the risk is a little bigger, and it is difficult to get the head to the ground.

"Then it seems that if you encounter the wrong version of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the future, you have to be careful. Teacher Ren said solemnly.

It's a bit ashamed that the accumulation of his sixties is not as rich as a young man in his twenties. If Hu Yang hadn't stopped it with his eyes just now, he would have been stunned by the surprise, and he would have been fooled.

"Wrong money is hard to find, and if you do, don't let it go easily, but take it seriously and look carefully. Hu Yang said to everyone.
