Chapter 554: A Small Stroke

β€œ... Charlie, Jr., will anyone claim the 5 cents after the gold plating? Even if the police don't pursue the source of these 5 cents, they will only get 5 cents in the end, so that Tatum's fraud method is almost unassailable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Because he can't speak, he doesn't need to remind the clerk when shopping that I gave you five cents, not five dollars, and the other party gave him a gift, and as a good citizen, of course he could take it with peace of mind. ”

The perfect deception was impeccable in the United States at that time, but in other countries, the police estimated that there were a thousand ways to get that Tatum to spit out the money!

Chariz Theron had clearly learned something from the story Zhang Nan had told, and she kept her thoughtful look for a while.

The U.S. Mint was so alarmed by the use of nickel coins that it quickly halted the production of nickel coins with the Statue of Liberty, and revised the design before reissuing them in June of that year.

"If the 1913 V nickel had been issued, it would have been at least a million dollars. ”

Zhang Nan is in Longwangshu.

"Can you find it?"

Little Charlie was very naΓ―ve, Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "Impossible, there were 5 trial productions at the beginning, all in the hands of private collectors, and the mint began to produce a new version of the Bison Indian Chief 5 cents that year." ”

A coin is tens of millions, and many copycat auction companies in later generations always like to use this as a gimmick to defraud the people of their money.

Taking advantage of people's desire to make a fortune, a copper plate is valued at 500,000 yuan, and 2% of the publicity and appraisal fee is paid first, and then a helper is found to hold an auction site, and then ...... Unsold.

This is not bad, the hooligans will not go through the motions at all, and drag you down, or just say: Lost auction.

In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such rare coins, because they are unlikely to be in your or your ancestors' coin bags.

It has not been issued, and the sample, when it was manufactured, it was already taken away by powerful related households or officials, and there is nothing to do with your little people at all!

Here Chariz Theron put this little nickel in her purse again, and no one will ask for the fruits of her labor, put on her headphones and get to work again.

After searching for more than ten meters, I dug out 5 one-cent coins, although they were all products from the thirties and forties, and the price was not high, but the fun was there.

Every time Zhang Nan detected an abnormality, he asked Xiao Nizi to dig it, and this detector was not light, and soon the detector in Xiao Charlie's hand was in the hands of Guan Xingquan, who has rich experience in detection.

Let's play.

Let her dig whenever there is an abnormality, and children love this hands-on process.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, only five or six meters from the original toilet hut, the little girl dug up a copper coin the size of 25 cents, with Lincoln's head on it.

"Alan, good thing, it's not the same as just now!"

In the excitement, Charlize Theron saved all the "brothers", excited! But as soon as she washed it with water, the little girl was confused!

The front of the coin is a portrait of Lincoln, but the back is a goose pattern, and there is a big "1" in the middle of the "goose", and there is a circle of text around it: "Red goose brand leather shoes, boys and girls can wear them!"

After reading the words on the back, little Charlie held the delicately crafted coin in her hand, a little confused.

"What is this?"

Xiao Nizi looked confused, and it was not surprising that the others saw it clearly: this was a small thing that was quite common in China and the United States thirty or forty years ago.

It's a big deal that this kind of thing is handmade a little more in China, and the United States basically uses machine manufacturing and fine workmanship.

Zhang Nan looked at it and said, "Charlie, this is a substitute coin, and it says that it is leather shoes, which should be customized by the brand that sells shoes."

This kind of substitute currency used to be many in the United States, and it was used in all walks of life, for example, when taking the train, the substitute currency issued by the railway company was often used, and in the west, it was often used as ordinary change..."

Charlie Jr. now understands that this kind of substitute currency is a small denomination circulating coin issued by unofficial institutions in the past within a specific range, and some are even issued by the National Bank.

Zhang Nan said that the Bank of England in the United Kingdom issued a substitute silver coin in the early 19th century -- it is very strange that the National Bank did not issue enough official currency, but instead issued a substitute currency.

The coin in his hand was not an official coin, and Charlize Theron was a little disappointed.

Zhang Nan saw her expression and comforted: "This kind of substitute currency is still very popular with collectors in the United States, and I am not very familiar with this, because there are too many varieties, and many of them are geographically restricted, but it is estimated that a few dollars will not be less."

And it also represents an era when people are accustomed to using substitute currency as official currency, and it still has its collection value..."

The collection of American substitute coins was a culture, and even more so before the liberation of China.

For example, in Chongren, a large town near the hometown of his brother-in-law Xiang Weirong, before the liberation, a local big landlord bully issued a marked bamboo stick card in his own bank, which could be directly used as money in the local area, and this situation was very common in various parts of China before the liberation.

Different from today's game currency, the original proxy currency is actually a kind of "currency" guaranteed by credit, which has its own value.

Continuing to explore, little Charlie was still chattering there, hoping to harvest a silver coin: treasure hunting, if you don't even find a silver coin, then how can it be called treasure hunting.

Then she was pleased to find a Mercury ten-cent.

When it comes out of the soil, there is only a thin layer of soil on it, and it is clean when you wipe it.

"Silver coins! 1916, it's so beautiful!"

Xiao Nizi was very happy, and what Zhang Nan said made her even happier: "This is not an ordinary Mercury 10 cent, it is the 1916 D version, which is the 10 cents produced by the Denver Mint."

Only 264,000 of these coins were originally issued, and they are now definitely sought after by collectors.

Like this relatively well-preserved 1916D Mercury 10 cents, which is currently worth at least $1,500.

The rest of the 1916 10-cent printouts were over 10 million pieces, and the price of the regular condition was $10. ”

Chariz Theron was even happier, and it was a small deal.

However, little Charlie is very generous and not greedy for money, so she wants to give Zhang Nan the silver coins.

didn't answer, "What you dug up, of course it's all yours." ”

The little girl pointed to everyone and said, "No, we are partners, and we are looking for it together." ”

Zhang Nan thought for a while, "Then you can just invite us to the town for a drink after dinner." ”

"No problem!"

Charlie is very bold and dripping.

There is a small town near the camp, there is a bar above, and this is a farming and pastoral area, and the customers of the bar are locals, which is not as chaotic as New York, and does not take the 21-year-old drinking rule seriously.

After searching for the 30-meter "Golden Avenue", everyone left and returned to the camp.

Zhang Nan took advantage of the little girl's inattention and smiled at Guan Xingquan: he originally had a 1916D version of 10 cents in his pocket, and Guan Boss was now practicing his finger dexterity with a small silver coin when he was bored, one of the small souvenirs of Berchtesgaden.

Except for little Charlie, everyone else knew about it, but no one said anything just now.
