Chapter 630: The Treasure of the Country

"How do you look like a silly boy!"

Dani watched William leave the study happily, the corners of her mouth twitching.

William not only got the bidding qualification for this trip, but also unexpectedly got John's promise, so he was naturally happy, and his face was naturally full of smiles, but in Daini's opinion, William's smile was a little silly!

"Okay, don't talk about him, people who are exhausted suddenly become bright, and anyone will be happy if this kind of thing is put aside. "John naturally knew about William's going to the Ministry of Defense, William was a son of the Stillman family after all, and Cora would definitely report to John, but he didn't care.

"Let the assistant department draw up a document on the comprehensive replacement of uniform combat uniforms for the whole army, order all armed forces to abolish active combat uniforms, unify the whole army, and prohibit any branch of the military and unit from privately developing and equipping camouflage combat uniforms. ”

John prepares to take the opportunity to unify the camouflage combat uniforms of the U.S. military.

In order to obtain orders from the U.S. military, major military uniform production and research and development companies often lobby various branches of the military to develop and change camouflage combat uniforms, so that the U.S. military's current camouflage combat uniforms are the same as the navy, the army, and the air force.

"Bring Cora another trip!"

"Okay!"

Dani nodded and left the study.

After Dani left, John also left the study to find Mrs. Morgan, and he was very satisfied with Cora's work, and decided to reward the young deputy secretary of defense, John remembered that Morgan's treasury had some coins, so he wanted to ask Mrs. Morgan for one to reward Cora. Meritorious rewards and punishments are the rule of His Royal Majesty.

…………

The next afternoon, Cora appeared in the reception room of Morgan Manor in a black suit with a Morgan Group badge pinned to her neckline.

John finished his work and asked the maid to summon Cora into his study.

"Shaozun!"

"Sit!"

"Yes!"

Cora gently pulled out a chair and sat across from John, although it was not the first time she had seen John, Cora was still a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just looking for you to talk casually, William finally handed over the wavy head of the silver statue of Liberty to Sotheby's for auction, why don't you go back to auction it back, after all, this is not against the rules and regulations, and you are not short of money?" John asked as he looked at Cora suspiciously.

"Although it is not against the rules, the owner of that silver coin is William, and William, as an arms dealer, no matter how precious that silver coin is, I can't take it, this is my principle, because once I accept it, other arms dealers will use this method to do things that I want, so I can't ask for it. Cora replied.

For Cora, hobbies are trivial, just the pleasure of satisfying the personal spirit, and principles are big things, and the slightest concession cannot be compromised.

John nodded appreciatively at Cora's words. "Yes! Back then, I thought you were smart, capable, and loyal, so I transferred you to the Ministry of Defense for training, it seems that my vision is not good enough, I didn't find that you are still a principled, bottom-line person, there is still a steel in your bones, I underestimated you!"

"Don't dare, Shaozun, you look down on me, I'm just doing my duty!" Cora hurriedly lowered her head and replied.

If everyone can do their duty well, this country will be much better, and I don't have so many things to do, I don't have to be trapped in front of these few feet of desk every day, I can quietly be a literary and artistic youth, carry a sketchpad, travel around the world, go to the North Pole to see the aurora, go to the South Pole to see penguins, go to Greece to see the Aegean Sea, go to Provence to smell the flowers, go to Rio de Janeiro to sunbathe, go to Pamukkale hot springs, go to the Caribbean Sea to fish, go to Paris to talk about love, go to the square in Prague to feed the pigeons...... How nice is that!

It's a pity that there are too few people who are duty, and there are too many restless people, so I can only stay in this room and continue to work. ”

John shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, as the richest and most powerful person in the world, he couldn't even realize a small dream of traveling around the world, which was really ironic, and even John himself thought it was a little funny.

After laughing, John sighed, then took out a small black wooden box from the drawer and pushed it in front of Cora, motioning for Cora to open it.

Cora nodded, carefully picked up the black wooden box, and gently opened the lid of the box, only to see a quaint copper coin lying in the box.

Looking at this copper coin, Cora frowned tightly, this no copper coin is very strange, she knows it, but the material is different from what she knows, if this coin is silver, it will be amazing, it is the famous goddess of flowing hair a dollar silver coin.

The Lady Liberty One Dollar Silver Coin was the first one-dollar coin issued by the U.S. federal government.

In 1791, Congress authorized the establishment of the National Mint, in 1792 the National Mint was established, and in 1794 the Mint began, and the first silver coin minted was the Lady Liberty One Dollar Silver Coin.

However, because the silver material at that time came from silver bars deposited in the bank, and the content of these silver bars did not meet the requirements and needed to be refined, only 1,758 pieces were minted for the first time.

And because the minting equipment was not up to the mark, the Mint replaced the equipment after the first minting, and it was not until 1795 that the equipment was replaced, and then it was minted several times before it was changed to a wave-headed silver Lady Liberty head coin.

And the 1794 batch of silver coins because of the long time, the number is scarce, and it is the first silver coin minted in the United States, which is very meaningful, if it is well preserved, it is in good condition, and it is worth tens of millions.

But this coin in the box is very strange, the appearance is obviously the goddess of flowing hair, but the material is copper, which is completely different from the record, if it wasn't for John to take it out, the other person Cora would have been smashed over the box as a fake.

John on the other side looked at the confused Cora and smiled, and explained.

"Scott and Geiger carved the mold, and after finalizing the mold, the Mint minted three copper coins and handed them over to then-President George Washington for inspection, and this one was one of them, which had been in the Morgan treasury for almost 200 years, and now I am giving it to you in my private capacity. ”

Cora heard John's words and shook her hand and almost dropped the box to the ground, then carefully closed the lid and placed it in front of John.

"Shaozun, this coin is too precious, I can't ask for it. ”

The silver coin of the Goddess of Flowing Hair is known as the world's coin treasure, and this copper test coin is a rare treasure, and it is also a test coin sent by the Mint to George Washington. Something like this, Cora didn't dare!
