"Knock knock~"

Xiahou Bing, who opened the door, said in surprise: "Teacher, you are here!"

"You girl called me, how could I not come!"

When Xiahou Bing let go of Fang Yuanshan, he saw clearly that there was an old gentleman about sixty years old and in good spirits standing at the door, wearing a moon-white cardigan, linen pants, and a pair of old Yanjing cloth shoes, with a strong smell of cultural people.

Fang Yuanshan hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello old gentleman, it's such a hot weather and you are still bothering you to run around, the kid really deserves death." ”

"Hehe~ The young man is quite good at talking. ”

Xiahou Bing next to him introduced: "This is Teacher Lu Zhiming Lu." ”

"Hello Mr. Lu. ”

Fang Yuanshan didn't wait for Xiahou Bing's introduction, and then said: "My name is Fang Yuanshan, and Teacher Lu can just call me a little Fang." ”

"Hello Xiaofang. ”

After the two sides sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Lu, who was very ancient, said, "I don't know what Xiao Fang came to me for?"

"Teacher Lu is like this, this Mr. Fang Yuanshan has some foreign gold coins and would like to ask you to help identify them. ”

Fang Yuanshan said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Lu, the kid works abroad, and he accidentally got a little gold coin some time ago, and I don't know if it's worth it, I want to ask your old man to help identify it, you can rest assured, the appraisal fee will be calculated according to the highest standard in the industry." ”

"Alright then, take out the gold and show it to me. ”

Fang Yuanshan on the opposite side was already waiting for the other party to say, "What money is not money, I will help you identify it for money?" and even waved his sleeves and left.

Fang Yuanshan's eyesight is good! many times he will see things that he doesn't want to see. For example, this teacher Lu. After hearing him say the highest standard of appraisal fees in the industry, the light in his eyes flashed. This made the image of this teacher Lu plummet in Fang Yuanshan's heart. The sense of adoration that had sprung up before was gone.

But think about it. People came over on such a hot day and helped you identify what coins for no reason, is it not good for you to have a good relationship with money?

Fang Yuanshan, who had figured this out, quickly adjusted his mentality again. smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu." ”

He took out the box of gold coins from his bag, and he wiped the water stains on it. As for the oxide or something on it, he really didn't have time to do it slowly, and his eyes were glazed when he saw that large pile of coins.

Teacher Lu, who took it over, said lightly: "The weight is not light~"

"I didn't weigh it either. I don't know how much it weighs. ”

Teacher Lu on the other side couldn't help but shake his head, obviously very dissatisfied with Fang Yuanshan's behavior. Teacher Lu picked up a small satchel he had brought, and took out gloves, a magnifying glass, and something like a hand-held measuring instrument from it.

He took up his gloves and picked up the coin and glanced at it, then looked up at Fang Yuanshan and asked, "You didn't remove rust?"

"Rust removal?

The teacher Lu shook his head and stopped talking, took out all kinds of tools from his bag, put on his glasses and carefully removed the dirt on the gold coin, for fear of damaging the gold coin, this teacher Lu "removed the rust" very carefully, and the gentle action was as gentle as a young man caressing the skin of his beloved girl.

Fang Yuanshan, who couldn't understand, had no choice but to drink tea silently and wait, for fear of affecting this Teacher Lu's work, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. A gold coin, this Teacher Lu cleaned up for ten or twenty minutes. Finally, I picked up the magnifying glass next to me and took a closer look.

Fang Yuanshan was secretly anxious, and he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb this Teacher Lu. To be honest, he didn't have much hope for these gold coins. But now Fang Yuanshan, who is short of money and internal injuries, still hopes that "they" will have a good value, at least it can alleviate the urgent need.

After more than ten minutes, Mr. Lu gently put down the gold coin in his hand, took off all the gloves and glasses, and said, "Congratulations to Xiaofang, this is an antique gold coin with a "wide opening". ”

"You mean it's worth a lot?"

"This is a $5 gold coin minted in the United States in 1873, which is not a small number in existence, but it is not a small amount. Yours isn't in perfect condition, but it's still in good condition, and it should be worth some money. ”

Fang Yuanshan thought of the thousands of gold coins in his space, and hoped, "Then how much can this one be sold for?"

Mr. Lu thought about it for a while and said, "It's about $1,000." ”

Fang Yuanshan, who was still holding a lot of hopes, was dumbfounded~ and asked, "Ah! It's only a thousand dollars?"

No wonder he was surprised, one thousand dollars is only more than six thousand Chinese dollars at the current exchange rate, and his space of three or four thousand is only three or four million dollars, which made Fang Yuanshan put the two big words "disappointed" on his face.

"Well, the value of a coin has a lot to do with the amount of money in existence. Take this $5 gold coin as an example, there are still a lot of them circulating in the market today. ”

After briefly explaining a few words to Fang Yuanshan, Lu Zhiming was full of helplessness in his heart. In recent years, the surge of collecting craze has made many people take it for identification as a treasure when they see something, thinking that they have found some rare treasures, but unfortunately they are some worthless things.

Although Lu Zhiming taught gem identification courses in college, he usually dabbled in antique coins, and under his many years of hobbies and practical experience, he occasionally helped people identify coins for free, but he also stopped at hobbies.

It's a pity that the years are not good, his son learned to gamble, and after helping his son pay off his debts a few times, Lu Zhiming's old money accumulated for decades was also emptied. As a last resort, he could only go out and find a way to make some extra money, after Xiahou Bing understood his teacher's predicament, after hearing that Fang Yuanshan needed to identify gold coins, he immediately remembered his teacher.

As a university professor, at this time, he was shy to explain these things to people that he thought young children should know, and he had to show a smiling face, which made him sigh in his heart~ "Why did you give birth to such a son!"

Fang Yuanshan, who didn't give up, asked, "Isn't it more expensive to take a long time?"

Lu Zhiming had to reply again: "The value is more or less related to the amount of the world." To put it simply, if there is only one gold coin in the world, it is priceless. ”

"Oh~ I see. Then look at how much my one is worth?" After saying that, he handed over the gold coin engraved with the word "1846" that had been cleaned up in the villa in the morning.

"I'll see!"

Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since people also said that they would pay a high appraisal fee, this Teacher Lu simply put down his self-esteem, took the gold coin very happily, and looked at it carefully.

This Teacher Lu may be an occupational disease, although Fang Yuanshan, an antique appraisal, doesn't understand it, but he still understands the meaning of what Teacher Lu just said, which means that he can see the truth at a glance. Since you can tell the truth at a glance, you are still there to watch for a long time?

Seeing that he was about to take a closer look again, Fang Yuanshan didn't want to wait for another ten or twenty minutes, so he hurriedly said, "Teacher Lu, just say how much it is worth!"

Lu Zhiming, who was carelessly holding the gold coin, was still very dissatisfied after hearing his words, but after scanning the words "1846" on it, a ball of light appeared in his eyes, and the hands holding the gold coins began to tremble.

Fang Yuanshan's eyes were about to turn into fiery eyes, and as soon as he saw this Teacher Lu's situation, he knew that there must be something wrong with the gold coin. Hurriedly asked, "Teacher Lu, how is this gold coin?"

Lu Zhiming put down his glasses, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he was excited: "Rare treasures!~"
