Handing the small box to his wife, He Xiangyun took out another box, which was full of all kinds of copper coins.

"Tianming, do you see if these copper coins are worth anything?"

Zhao Tianming took a look, most of these copper coins were Kangxi Tongbao and Qianlong Tongbao during the Qing Dynasty, and there were also a small number of copper coins in the Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu periods.

"Qianlong Tongbao? I also have these copper coins at home, and there are quite a few of them, can this be sold for money?"

Some people saw the copper coins He Xiangyun found rummaging through, so they asked, feeling that an opportunity to make a fortune was in front of them.

"I used to have it at home, but then I threw a lot of it, and I didn't deliberately save it, this kind of copper coin seems to be a lot, it shouldn't be worth anything, right?"

There are also some people who say with a little regret, although these things are also a kind of money, but they can't be used, who cares?

"These copper coins are true, but they are not worth anything, the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, there are a lot of them, especially in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the two reigned for decades, minted a large number of copper coins, and they are still everywhere today, and there are dozens of institutions that mint copper coins. ”

Zhao Tianming said that he also has some such copper coins at home, and everyone used to think that wearing copper coins could ward off evil spirits, and they would keep some at home, and occasionally they could see people wearing red ropes or putting them in keychains.

However, because it is not worth much, everyone does not care too much, and it is slowly lost, and some copper coins are thrown in a dark and damp place, and they will rust and break.

"No, you look at the two Kangxi Tongbao, the characters on the back of them seem to be different. ”

Hearing Zhao Tianming say that these copper coins are worthless, others were disappointed, but some people found some clues when they pondered the comparison.

"Indeed, there are differences in the same copper coins. ”

One woman said that she had noticed this aspect before, but she didn't know much about it, and it wasn't a Chinese character at first glance, maybe she didn't understand it, so she didn't delve into it.

"This is because although they have the same system, many of them come from different coinage bureaus. For example, this Kangxi Tongbao, its front is "Kangxi Tongbao" four Chinese characters, and on both sides of the back, there are also Manchu characters, the meaning of this Manchu text is not the translation of the Chinese characters of "Kangxi Tongbao", but to show its origin of the coinage bureau. ”

Seeing that they still didn't give up, Zhao Tianming picked up two Kangxi copper coins and gave them a detailed explanation.

"During the Kangxi period, there were a total of twenty-four coinage bureaus, forming a complete set of coins, which were not different from the obverse, but the text on the back was different.

According to the text on the back can be divided into two categories, one is to imitate the "Shunzhi four-style" Manchu money, the back of the Manchu text has two kinds of Baoquan and Baoyuan, respectively, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the two central bureaus cast.

The other type is the imitation of the "Shunzhi Five Style" Manchu and Han coins, so how much Kangxi Tongbao copper coins are worth is determined according to the type of coin.

The copper coins produced by different coinage bureaus have different Manchu text on the back, because the number of minting is not the same, and the price is also different.

However, among the twenty-four coinage bureaus of Kangxi Tongbao, there are two coinage bureaus, the Baoquan Bureau of the Household Department and the Baoyuan Bureau, and the front and back of the copper coins they produce are Manchu, which is relatively rare and more valuable.

The other 22 coins are all written in both Manchu and Chinese scripts, with the obverse in Chinese and the reverse in Manchu. If you can collect all the copper coins of these 22 coinage bureaus, it is commonly known as "poetry coins" in our industry. They are: Tongfuning Dongjiang, Xuanyuan Su Jichang, Nanhe Linguang and Zhejiang, Taigui Shaanxi Yunzhang.

In addition, there is the word "Gong", which represents the Gansu Gongchang Bureau, and the word "West", which represents the Shanxi Provincial Bureau, but they are very small. There are also "Taiwan", "Guangzhou", and "South" are also relatively rare.

But in general, the price of these ordinary copper coins is not high, they range from more than ten yuan to hundreds of yuan, and only the particularly precious ones can reach hundreds or thousands of yuan, such as the copper coins I mentioned before are all Manchu, obviously you don't have them here. ”

"What about other copper coins? such as Xianfeng Guangxu's. ”

Someone still asked with a dead heart, I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, isn't this also an antique?

As the saying goes, "the matter of the Xianfeng year" means that the age is long ago and has long been out of touch with the present. And Kangxi Qianlong and the like, it has been two hundred years since the current dynasty.

"I still have a string of five emperors' coins at home, that is, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, and what's more, the coins of the five emperors are strung together, this should be valuable, right?

A woman suddenly remembered something and said with some excitement.

"You are the little five emperor money, and the other two are Yongzheng and Jiaqing, this is also the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty, except for the small number of Shunzhi and Yongzheng Tongbao, there are many others, but these copper coins are also relative. The reason why the people value it is only because of customs that they can ward off disasters and evil spirits, and even feng shui masters use them, but in terms of antiques, it has little collection value. ”

"Other Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu Tongbao is also similar, the price is not high, however, in addition to ordinary copper coins, each dynasty will also produce a variety of special coins, such as ancestral coins, mother coins, sample coins and so on as a template for casting copper coins.

In addition, emperors like Kangxi Qianlong, both of whom have reigned for more than 60 years, will inevitably sing praises of virtue, and some special periods such as birthdays will mint some commemorative copper coins, these special coins are very valuable. ”

Zhao Tianming said that in order to commemorate Kangxi's 60th birthday, he handled the "longevity money", that is, Luohan money.

"Then you see, are there any special copper coins here? And you just said that there are some small quantities of copper coins in different coinage bureaus, are there any studies on Manchu literature?"

Some people still don't give up and say that maybe they can find some precious varieties, and they can go back and see if there are any similar types.

"I haven't seen it for the time being, these are ordinary coins, not ordinary, and they won't be so widespread. ”

Zhao Tianming said that he didn't understand Manchu and wouldn't spend time on it, but he could identify it through the ancient mirror.

"However, as the collection heats up now, there are fewer and fewer real Five Emperor Coins on the market, if it is a genuine Five Emperor Money, it can also be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on the condition and integrity, if you want to sell, I can also help you take a look. ”

Zhao Tianming said to the woman before, although he couldn't look down on a thousand or hundreds of yuan, but other villagers were not necessarily, he still told them to choose for themselves.
