Chapter 318: Re-engraving
If it is according to the general traditional Chinese characters. The lower part of the word "will" is naturally the word "day". However, now on the copper coin that Jia Rudao is holding, there is no last stroke of the word "day", but the line of the inner outline of the coin. This point made Jia Yidao very curious, and at the same time, his heart was also full of doubts.
Could it be that among the piles of ancient copper coins, only one of them is fake?
Jia Rudao first checked the word "will" by himself, and then carefully checked it from the many copper coins that he had turned over just now, and now, those ancient copper coins just now are at least real. Even if someone wants to cheat, Jia Rudao doesn't think that anyone will be bored enough to start with worthless copper coins like "Xuanhe Tongbao" in the Northern Song Dynasty, right?
Any ancient copper coin with a little bit of value, if it can be faked, is worth more than thousands of "Xuanhe Tongbao"!
After searching for the remaining pile of ancient copper coins again, Jia Rudao did not find any other suspicious copper coins. Jia Rudao could only ponder in his heart that his eyesight on ancient coins was not enough to reach home.
At that moment, picking up the "Huitong Tongbao" in his hand, Jia Rudao went to the computer in the study.
In these days, the quickest way to find a copper coin with an exact physical existence, especially a copper coin with a clear inscription on it, is to look for it on the Internet.
Sure enough, it didn't take much time for Jia Yidao to figure out that the copper coin he had in hand, if it was real, was really a bit of a deal.
The so-called "Huitong" on the copper coin should be the year name of Yelu Deguang (938-947), the two emperors of the Liao Dynasty. In this way, "Huitong Tongbao" is the name of the coins minted during the same period of the Liao Dynasty. Jia Rudao also found out that the specific size of this thing is 2.41 centimeters in diameter, the width of the perforation in the middle is o.62 centimeters, the thickness of the edge is o.145 centimeters, and the weight is about 4 grams.
In Jia Yidao's villa, it is still easy to find some simple measuring tools to calculate the copper coins in his hand. Jia Rudao did not hesitate, the whole measurement process was very clean and neat, and then, after comparing the results, the gap with the network is not large, which can be said to be quite consistent. It's just that for the coins of this Liao country, Jia Rudao's heart is still faintly flooded with some doubts.
In Jia Yidao's memory, it seems that the main coins used in the early Liao Kingdom were Song money, that is, coins in the Northern Song Dynasty. As for the minting of Liao money, it is actually a political purpose, and it is a symbolic minting of money. Although the number of Liao coins is relatively rare, some are minted with each year name, so that in the history of Chinese currency, it is possible for this coin to explain a piece of history, so the value of Liao coins has the same significance as other types of treasures. It can be said that there are very few coins in the early Liao Dynasty, and each one of them is a treasure of great value.
In addition, "Huitong Tongbao" is the early coin of the Liao Dynasty, it is only recorded in the ancient numismatic spectrum of a name, however, Jia Rudao has never heard of being seen, of course, it may also be that Jia Rudao for the ancient coins, is really not deep enough, some treasures, unique products and other ancient coins, has not yet had a good understanding of the specific inside! However, the coins of "Huitong Tongbao" are very few in existence, but Jia Rudao is still sure.
Will this "Huitong Tongbao" in front of you be genuine?
Jia Rudao played with the copper coin in his hand back and forth, and even put it in front of his nose, sniffed it, and then, as if he was proficient in ancient coins, he put the copper coin to his ear, flicked it lightly with his hand, or put it to his mouth and blew it, and then listen to the sound!
Helplessly, a novice is still a novice after all, even if the action or something is in place, I can't hear why.
Jia Rudao could only feel slightly, the ancient coin in his hand had a little bit of the breath of Liao money, after all, coins minted in different eras will have different styles, and even the touch of the coins minted will be different. Jia Rudao is not an insider, but he can also slightly distinguish the characteristics of the copper coins in hand.
It can be regarded as a coins that are more in line with the Liao Dynasty.
It's just that after Jia Yidao played carefully for a long time, a detail of this coin appeared. On the right side of the word "same" in "tong", there is a little bit of crushing. Generally speaking, in the category of ancient copper coins, with such details, it is very similar to the words on some ordinary ancient coins.
Because re-engraving is one of the usual methods used by masters of ancient money counterfeiting.
Generally, the text on an ordinary ancient coin of the same era is re-engraved into other characters, so as to achieve the purpose of concocting a rare ancient coin with the fake. The best is naturally the font on the two coins, and the difference between the former and the latter is relatively small. Therefore, now if the "Huitong Tongbao" in Jia Rudao's hand is re-engraved, Jia Rudao pondered, the most likely is to use the more common "Chongxi Tongbao" in the middle of the Liao Dynasty coins, and the probability of re-engraving the word "Chongxi" to "Huitong" is relatively large. After all, the number of "Chongxi Tongbao" is really much more than that of "Huitong Tongbao".
But the bigger reason that makes Jia Rudao a little suspicious in his heart is that not only the two doubts that appear on this "Huitong Tongbao", but also the "Huitong Tongbao" itself, which is too rare.
Even if there is a real "Huitong Tongbao" in front of Jia Nidao's eyes, Jia Nidao does not dare to directly determine that this thing is real!
Holding back the doubts in his heart, Jia Rudao could only take a photo of the front and back of the "Huitong Tongbao" copper coin in his hand, and passed it to the forum of "World Collection", waiting for the answer of people of insight! Of course, Jia Rudao himself continued to look for relevant information on the Internet while waiting.
Sure enough, I was really found a lot of information by Jia Yidao.
It turned out that before "Huitong Tongbao" was revealed, no one had seen its true face.
It wasn't until 1989 that Mr. Feng Yi from Lingyuan, Liaoning Province, picked one out of the copper pile at the Chaoyang scrap station. At that time, he himself did not know whether it was true or false, and after many inquiries, he did not get the real result, so he decided to seek advice from Mr. Dai Zhiqiang, the secretary general of the Chinese Numismatic Society and a famous numismatist. With the idea of giving it a try, he wrote a letter to Mr. Dai and enclosed a rubbing of the coin. Mr. Dai felt "very interesting" after watching the rubbing, so he replied to him and asked him that it would be best to bring the real thing to Beijing to have a look.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to March 199o, Mr. Dai Zhiqiang finally saw the coin in Mr. Feng Yi's hand, and after identification, there was the following comment: "Looking at the back of the money, it is full of Liao Qian atmosphere, and the rust color is good; I couldn't doubt it. In the end, it was determined that it was a treasure of Liao Dynasty coins.
In this way, this one in Jia Rudao's hand, even if it is a genuine "Huitong Tongbao", is not something that has never been seen before. There is a picture of Mr. Feng Yi's "Huitong Tongbao" on the Internet, and Jia Yidao compared it with the one in his hand, perhaps because the photos taken are not very clear, and many places are not very clear. However, on the picture, you can see the word "day" under the word "will", which is indeed very vague!
This made Jia Yidao's heart feel a little happy.
However, when looking at the word "same" again, Jia Rudao has nothing special to show up. Thinking about it, if this copper coin is re-engraved by a master, it is impossible to say, and people will notice the surprise on the word "will". Deliberately re-engraved into a vague state to deceive some people who are a little knowledgeable! Only in this way can the price of copper coins be sold higher, right?
At this time, let Jia Rudao collect it from the whole pile of copper coins, and I don't know if it was luck.
And after experiencing some nervous mood changes, from doubt to joy, from loss to calm, and then to the current calmness, Jia Rudao suddenly had more feelings for the copper coin in his hand. Regardless of whether the thing is true or not, Jia Rudao is ready to leave it behind, which can be regarded as his progress in the ancient numismatic line.
If something is fake, Jia Rudao can be regarded as an accumulation of his own collection on the road, and if it is true, then let alone it. Even if there are a few "Huitong Tongbao" on the market, it still does not affect the value of its treasures!
Jia Rudao pondered that if he had appeared this "Huitong Tongbao" before the antique appraisal conference, he would have more agreed with the mood of the collectors who came to ask the experts to appraise them.
However, since those collectors can invite experts to do the appraisal, then why can't he Jia Yidao?
Thinking of this, Jia Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up!
It's just that Jia Yidao also knows that among the people he knows, there are very few who can understand ancient coins. looked at the time, it was already quite late, and immediately called Ah San, or Ji Yanran's impulse, Jia Rudao could only continue to look for relevant information on the Internet.
At this time, it suddenly appeared that someone replied to his post!
