This tube money, as the name suggests, is a tube in appearance. The copper coins have been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, and when they are dug up, they are glued together by soil and rust, forming short or long tubes.

Since the tube money is like this, it is impossible to see what kind of ancient money is inside. What the value is, you need to open the package to know.

"What a stroke of luck is this?"

"Puddles, like Song Qian. ”

The mouth of the pit unearthed in bronze is the most talked about dry pit and puddle, although the coins are often listed as a separate collection category, after all, most of them are copper.

The so-called dry pit is generally out of the loess and dry soil, mostly in the northern region, and the most typical feature is red spots and green rust. Puddles, naturally unearthed in water pools or wet areas, are mostly black, and some will also have yellow skin and green rust.

If you want to talk about the rust color, it is naturally a dry pit.

However, the puddle sometimes appears as a whole uniform "black lacquer ancient", and this black glossy film has attracted a large number of fans. Even in some people's mouths, they will use black lacquer as a synonym for pulp and skin.

"Song Qian, what's not worth it, what are you coming? Before Pu Jie could take it out, Yu Yao poured some cold water in advance.

In the Song Dynasty, the amount of money minted was quite large, and once the government and the people cast together, and there was inflation several times.

"Can't you say something good? One two hundred, it only cost four hundred in total, and I'll be back when I open a valuable one!"

Pu Jie said, took out two barrels, as well as a bottle of white vinegar and a utility knife, he even bought the tools.

Yu Yao took a look, it's over, these two tubes, even the black lacquer is ancient, there is a lot of soil hanging, yellow skin and green rust. The top and bottom copper coins are also indecipherable.

The most important thing is that it seems to be a small amount of money.

Small money is small flat money. For Song money, it refers to the smallest value of this currency at that time, so the shape is also the smallest. The value is greater, such as folding two, three, and ten, that is, one can be used as two, three, and ten small flat coins, and the shape is also larger.

The two tubes that Pu Jie bought have only one advantage left in appearance: the puddle has this kind of yellow skin and green rust, which is easy to peel off, but it is easy to open.

"Okay, if you win the jackpot, you will arrange all the food, drink and entertainment in the past few days. Of course, Yu Yao also hopes that Pu Jie will hit the big luck.

No matter how easy it is to open, it is also a technical job. However, it was a piece of cake for Pu Jie, when he first entered the industry, he started with copper coins and drove many times.

There are three commonly used tricks to open the tube: falling, scratching, and soaking.

Falling, that is, throwing the money to the ground and shaking it directly. But it's not a casual fall, you need to have an angle, and at the same time, the force is small and can't be shaken, and the force is large, and it is easy to crack the ancient money.

Scratching, that is, using a sharp knife to cut from the larger gap of the barrel, this degree must be mastered, can not damage the coin, can not be scratched, but also to protect not to hurt the hand.

Soaking, that is, soaking in warm water. Some old knots of rust are sometimes made with white vinegar. However, be careful with vinegar, although it is easy to clean up, but because of the chemical reaction, it is easy to precipitate copper ions from ancient coins, turn red, and affect the quality.

Pu Jie was familiar with the road, and did what he said, first breaking the tube apart, then using a utility knife to further decompose it, and finally soaking the basically separated ancient money in white vinegar first, and after a few minutes, washed down, and then soaked in a bathtub with warm water.

After soaking through, Pu Jie and Yu Yao picked up a toothbrush and brushed it out one by one.

These two tubes are not big, the rust is pine and rusty, and a total of fifty or sixty ancient coins have been brushed. When brushing, in order to speed up, the two of them did not brush one by one and studied one by one, until all the brushes were brushed out and put away, and then the water was put out one by one at the bottom of the bathtub.

Although I didn't look at each one by one, after all, it was a hand brush, and I had a rough idea of it, and it was basically worthless little money, and most of it was no more than ten yuan.

Pu Jie watched it carefully again, and was immediately completely disappointed, "I'm just a cleaner together!"

Yu Yao laughed and stretched out his clenched left hand, "Guess what I'm holding?"

"!" Pu Jie glared, "When did you hide?"

"When I brushed it, I looked at this big one, and I paid attention to it, guess what? Jingkang!" Yu Yao spread out his palms.

"Jingkang ingots!" Pu Jie took it all at once, and after seeing the four words on the front clearly, he immediately looked at the back.

Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, and the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed?

Jingkang is the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, the era name of Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong - be careful not to recognize Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng is the ancestor of Zhao Huan, the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong.

Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong only served as emperor for more than a year, and together with his son Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, he was captured by the Jin soldiers, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

However, because the Jingkang era name is used for a short time, Jingkang money is very scarce.

Jingkang money, there are two kinds of Jingkang Tongbao and Jingkang ingots, as long as it is a copper coin (and iron money), no matter which one, any genuine product, the market price is basically more than 10,000. The highest auction record, and millions more!

How could Pu Jie not be excited?

Speaking of this Jingkang ingot, there have been two fonts of copper coins, official script and seal script, each of which also has a different variety.

"Lishu folds two!" Pu Jie shouted, "This is definitely not fake!"

Jingkang money, in the category of ancient money, is very famous, so today's market is full of fakes. But this one is opened from a real tube, there is no problem with rust, and there is no problem with other small money, so there will be no problem.

Moreover, even if you take a Jingkang ingot, with Yu Yao's eyesight, you can also identify the authenticity.

"Of course there won't be a fake! You've picked up a big leak!" Yu Yao really didn't expect that in these two inconspicuous tubes, a Jingkang ingots Lishu folded two!

Although this variety can be further evaluated according to the specific condition, details, and characteristics, at least it is flawless and clear.

Pu Jie picked up his phone and checked it.

"You don't need to check, Jingkang Yuanbao Lishu folds two, the best quality, can reach more than two million! As long as it is complete, the words can still be recognized, and the minimum is five or six hundred thousand, which is similar to the number of copper coins you offer!"

When Pu Jie heard this, he simply put down his phone, "Then according to your estimate, how much is this one worth?"

"800,000 to 1 million!"

Pu Jie shook his fist violently, "Okay! This Jingkang is good! Jingkang is ashamed, and it is still snowing, who said that I can't pick up the leaks?

"No one said you can't pick up the leaks, right?" Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "It's just that you haven't picked up the leaks." ”
