Yu Yao and Yang Rui returned to the room of the flowing water seat, and before the new round began, the handsome man actually talked to the thin middle-aged man, looking humble and asking for advice.

The thin middle-aged man can't see his impatience, but the handsome man is very active, and he seems to be a little reserved.

After about five minutes, the feast resumed with wine and light.

The three things in this round, contrary to the previous round, are all small.

The smallest is a Qin Dynasty half tael coin.

This ancient coin is the smallest of the three things, but in Qin Banliang, it is considered to be on the large side.

The system of half a tael of money is a square hole of round money, and the front two characters of the seal script "half tael", with a bare back; it is generally divided into half a tael of the Qin State and a half tael of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin half tael was used by the Qin State before Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin Dynasty half tael was naturally minted and issued after the unification.

Whether it is half a tael of the Qin State or a half tael of the Qin Dynasty, in terms of the big picture, it is not a rare thing, and the general product is not very valuable.

However, this Qin Dynasty half tael, with a diameter of four and a half to five centimeters, is estimated to be nearly thirty grams. The most common Qin Dynasty half taels, generally more than three centimeters in diameter and weighing about eight grams.

At the same time, this Qin Dynasty half-tael protruding two-character "half-tael" two-character money inscription is slightly narrow, with an arc, very beautiful, and the words are deep and steep, without the slightest drag of mud and water.

The half-tael coin does not have an inner and outer outline (that is, a convex edge around the copper coins that we commonly see), so the edges are often a little unsmooth, but the edges of this one are well cast and very regular.

The most important point is that this one has both rust color and pulp, and the pulp is naturally old and thick, so it looks like it has to be unearthed for two or three hundred years.

Heirlooms.

Yang Rui and Yu Yao glanced at each other, and Yu Yao gave a positive look.

However, this is Yu Yao's eyesight, and others may not think so. There are more goods in the pit of half two coins, even if they are unearthed before and circulated, there will generally be no obvious pulp, because most of them are put after unearthing, and the characteristics of natural oxidation can be seen.

And this piece of pulp, indicating that it has been a collection since it was unearthed, and the original owner loves it for ten minutes, and must often touch it, with this foundation, the follow-up collectors, even if it has been naturally oxidized, the pulp will be more moist. What's more, looking at the pulp so old and thick, it must not be one or two collectors who often touch it.

Therefore, this Qin Dynasty half tael, many people have puzzled eyes, this kind of heirloom that looks almost perfect, will it be a high imitation?

When you see a high imitation, it is easy to have doubts, and when you see a real product that is almost perfect, it is also easy to have doubts. This is how the so-called "real game fake" came about. In fact, what is true is true, what is fake is false, and "real and fake" is mainly psychological.

This Qin Dynasty half tael, the price is 100,000. For the Qin Dynasty, excluding some special shapes, such as mother money or rare extra-large products, it is already considered a high price.

However, Yu Yao doesn't think so. In terms of the rarity of the regular size, words, and craftsmanship, 100,000 yuan is indeed a high price, but this kind of two or three hundred years of inheritance time is the greater value!

Looking at it now, 100,000 is a high market price, but because of its unique characteristics, the price is easy to fluctuate. At the same time, such a near-perfect condition, the rise is bound to be rapid, and I don't know what kind of high price it will turn into in a few years!

Therefore, while Yu Yao gave Yang Rui an affirmative look, he also secretly made a grabbing action in his hand, which means that if you like it, you can not hesitate.

Yang Rui nodded slightly, and thus made up his mind.

He really liked this half tael. The nature of his work determines that he has seen a lot of unearthed ancient coins, but the visual effects of unearthed ancient coins and heirloom ancient coins are definitely different. Although some people also like rust color, beautiful rust is much less beautiful than ugly rust, and the unearthed rust is still much more ugly.

Moreover, this Qin Dynasty half tael is rust-colored, but in addition to the rust color, it is wrapped in an extra layer of pulp, which is particularly moving.

Seeing that Yang Rui seemed to have made up his mind, Yu Yao then looked at another snuff bottle.

Snuff is made of fermented tobacco leaf powder with spices, and it goes directly to the nose, but the lungs do not ignite and do not produce second-hand smoke, which is still quite environmentally friendly.

Snuff is a foreign product, according to legend, it was brought into China by a missionary named Matteo Ricci during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and snuff was already very popular in the Qing Dynasty.

The snuff box has gradually changed from a tool for snuff to a work of art, with more functions for viewing and playing. There are many kinds of materials for snuff bottles, including gold, porcelain, jade, and teeth.

The snuff box that came out was a glass painting pot, which was painted with a landscape and a top cover of amethyst.

The inner painting snuff bottle appeared later, only in the late Qing Dynasty, there are more glass, and there are also crystal ones - since it is an inner painting, it must be transparent.

It is a normal picture to draw from the inside of the pot and then look at it from the outside. It's not easy to paint in reverse, and the snuffbox is small, and the mouth is even smaller, so you have to use a very thin pen to stick into it.

This inner painting snuff bottle is accompanied by a box, made of golden silk nanmu and lined with a yellow gold velvet liner. When I brought it up, the box and snuff box were placed side by side.

The snuff bottle has a signature and a picture on it, but because it is too small, you have to look closer.

Yu Yao was fast, the probe approached, and then retracted.

It was actually Zhou Leyuan's money.

Speaking of Zhou Leyuan, I have to say that the largest of the three major schools of painting snuff bottles: the Beijing School. There are four big families in the Beijing faction: Ma Shaoxuan, Ye Zhongsan, Yang Chun Bai Xue, Zhou Leyuan, and Wu Chang'an, a civil and military all-rounder.

On the whole, if this snuff bottle is Zhou Leyuan's genuine, the price should be about 200,000. The list price is also very close, 180,000.

However, Yu Yao also saw that this was not a genuine product! This was an imitation of a loan from the Republic of China.

But obviously, the flowing water mat was sold as a genuine product, and a small box of golden silk nanmu of the late Qing Dynasty was specially matched. This little box can be worth thousands. This kind of "small investment" is for "big returns".

After reading the snuffbox, Yu Yao glanced at Yang Rui, Yang Rui happened to be looking at him, Yu Yao shook his head slightly.

The last thing Yu Yao looked at was a small round ball about ten centimeters in diameter.

The maroon is shiny, with ink lines and ink drawings drawn on it, and small characters are written.

It turned out to be a globe.

This globe is made of gourd, which is also regarded as a gourd, but there is no mold shaping or printing, carving and other processes, that is, half of the gourd ball is taken to seal the top of the belt, and the longitude and latitude lines and maps are drawn with ink lines, marking the country and so on.
