"Oh?" Cheng Lao seemed to be a little surprised that Jia Nidao didn't find someone to identify him yesterday, but chose to use this time now, but the antique line, many times it is not so particular, or maybe it is because he saw Jia Nidao and Ji Yanran come in together, Cheng Lao took the copper coin in Jia Nidao's hand with a smile, and at first glance, his face changed slightly!

And after seeing the change in Cheng Lao's expression, Jia Rudao's heart couldn't help but tighten.

When talking to Ji Yanran before entering the hotel just now, Jia Rudao knew that Cheng Lao in front of him was really an old connoisseur who had been immersed in ancient coins for many years. At that time, even when Ji Yanran heard that Jia Nidao would have an ancient copper coin in his hand, he couldn't understand it, and he still glanced at Jia Nidao in some surprise, and then asked: "Xiao Jia, when did you stop playing porcelain and switch to playing ancient coins?"

The tone in those words, to Jia Rudao's ears, is almost the same as Ah San!

If it weren't for Jia Yidao obviously knowing that Ji Yanran and Ah San didn't have any special intersections, he would have thought that the two of them had a good heart. For this reason, Jia Rudao could only say with a wry smile: "What should I do to collect ancient coins, I just took advantage of the antique bazaar, collected some copper coins from the stall and came back, and then carefully identified them at home, and suddenly saw the copper coins that I was not familiar with, and naturally I just wanted to find someone to give me the palm of my eyes." ”

"If you don't know anything about ancient coins, I don't think you will come to me to help you introduce an expert to check it, right?" Ji Yanran looked at Jia Rudao, but said with some deep meaning, "Sometimes, I really can't understand you at all." It's obvious that you have a high talent in the jade industry, but you yourself often do things that are incomprehensible to others. For example, I often collect some porcelain, which can be said to be a hobby, but now I am better to collect coins again......"

The tone of those words was very different from before.

For a while, Jia Rudao didn't know how to answer. Regarding what Ji Yanran said, Jia Rudao pondered it in his heart, and he really felt some feelings in his heart. As the saying goes, "see the flowers in the fog and look at the moon in the water", Jia seems to be confused by the authorities. At this moment, as soon as Ji Yanran's bystander Qing's words came out, Jia Rudao also felt a little real.

Should I have a further exhibition in the Jade line?

If you just want to survive in a small county like Linhai, Jia Nidao is not worried about any accidents, but if you want to really show it, then there are undoubtedly many things that Jia Nidao needs to do......

"This young man, how did you get this thing?" Just as Jia Yidao was thinking about the conversation with Ji Yanran, Cheng Lao played with the copper coin in his hand for a while and asked.

"Oh, this one, I picked it up at the antique market. Jia Rudao explained.

"It took a lot of money, right?" Cheng Lao continued to ask.

"At that time, it was collected with a lot of copper coins, which means that it cost hundreds of dollars. Jia Rudao said.

"That is, it cost a few hundred yuan?" Cheng Lao was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth smiled, praised it, and said, "In ancient times, the things collected from the stalls could directly cost hundreds of yuan, which was already considered a sufficient amount of money." ”

Speaking of which, things like ancient coins are very different from porcelain, calligraphy and painting. After all, porcelain of the same age, different styles, and different glaze colors will have different performances. And there are many tricks of cheating. However, the treasures of ancient copper coins are just such a template. If it is those very valuable ancient coins, don't say that they are going to fake, but anyone who knows a little bit about ancient coins will have a little bit of thought when they see it. After all, only a small amount of copper coins will be more valuable, right?

And such a small amount of copper coins appeared, and it was on the street stalls, could it be that the antique vendors themselves did not understand the copper coins and sold the copper coins there? This probability is almost lower than the probability of picking up the leakage on the antique street stall. Therefore, the copper coins collected on the side of the antique street are rarely of high value. Of course, for example, some copper coins that have been re-engraved, or have been changed beyond recognition, if you can have more vision than others, and recognize their true colors and show their true value, then it is a different matter.

As a result, in the antique market, the price of ancient coins is basically not very high. In particular, if the ancient copper coins on some stalls are not clearly marked, such as the copper coins whose value can be determined by the antique vendors themselves, most of the time, they will be sold at the market price, at most a small part of the price is slightly inflated.

The rest, most of the copper coins, are sold at a relatively low price.

Now the "Huitong Tongbao" that Jia Rudao has in hand, on the surface, there is no trace of aging at all. If it weren't for the fact that the antique vendor himself didn't understand, or he didn't notice the existence of such a copper coin for a while, and Jia Yidao's luck was very good, it would have been really difficult to collect it from the antique vendor at a price of a few hundred yuan.

However, what Cheng Lao said at this time seemed to imply that Jia Yidao spent money and was more generous.

Jia Rudao pondered slightly, touched his head, and said: "This, in fact, I didn't think much about it at that time, I just wanted to accept these copper coins and study them." Recently, I've been interested in ancient coins. I suddenly saw a bunch of copper coins, all of which were put together with nephrite jade and strange stones, and I guess the stall owner and hawker should not know much about ancient coins...... "If not, Jia seems to want to collect ancient coins, and there are vendors on the side of the antique street who specialize in copper coins, and Jia seems to have gone there to collect some."

"Hehe, it seems that your judgment is very correct, that peddler should not understand the line of ancient coins. And you, it's really good luck, you can be regarded as a treasure. Cheng Lao looked at Jia Rudao's appearance and said with a smile.

"Cheng Lao, shouldn't he really miss it?" Ji Yanran on the side undoubtedly didn't understand the ancient numismatic industry, at the beginning, listening to the conversation between Jia Nidao and Cheng Lao, it was also decent, almost like the conversation at the antique appraisal conference. However, this last sentence really surprised Ji Yanran!

While speaking, Ji Yanran glanced at Jia Yidao, and then looked at the copper coin in Cheng Lao's hand.

Is this a leaked copper coin?

Ji Yanran looked at it carefully. It's not that there are holes, there are words, and there is no difference from ordinary copper coins!

As everyone knows, the change in the value of copper coins lies in the difference in those words. It's like a 100 yuan RMB, and a 1 dollar RMB, if you remove the texture of the paper and the like, that is, the pattern and handwriting on it are different, right?

"This young man, looking at your expression, you should have a preliminary judgment about this coin, right?" Cheng Lao didn't care about Ji Yanran interrupting on the side, but asked Xiang Jia Rudao, "Why don't you talk about it yourself?"

"This ......" Jia Rudao heard this, and immediately knew that Cheng Lao in front of him was testing himself, so he couldn't help but organize his language and said, "Then I'll say a few words randomly." When I first saw this coin at home, it was strange. It's just that there is something not quite right, but I can't say what is strange. However, because this copper coin has handwriting on it, it is still quite easy to find information. No, I know this thing, if it's true, it should be the early coins of the Liao Kingdom......"

"Not bad, not bad. Cheng Lao nodded while listening, and said, "If you have doubts, you can find the information yourself to explain, and you will have the taste of collecting." ”

"So, Xiao Jia, before you came, you knew that this coin was from the early Liao Kingdom?" Although the specific value of the copper coin is not large. However, listening to the tone of Jia Yidao and Cheng Lao, Ji Yanran could also detect that this copper coin was relatively rare.

"I just have that judgment. However, I still have a lot of doubts. Jia Rudao said.

"Oh, I look at this copper coin, it is relatively complete, and there is no trace of re-engraving, and as long as you know a little about ancient coins, you should be able to see that the style of this copper coin is still close to that of the Liao Dynasty. Cheng Lao glanced at Jia Yidao and said, "What kind of questions do you have?"

"First of all, it's this copper coin, which I got a little easier. Jia Rudao said, and he talked about the process of getting this copper coin in detail, and said, "After that, I pondered, if this copper coin is real, since it is so precious, how can it be mixed up in a pile of worthless copper coins?"

It's like a pie suddenly falling from the sky. Although, anyone wants to have such a good thing born in themselves. However, if such a good thing happens, most people will wonder if someone is playing a prank, right?

"I can explain that. Ji Yanran listened on the side, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said, "Xiao Jia, you said it yourself, among your pile of copper coins, the copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty are the mainstay, so it is relatively normal to have this early Liao copper coin in the same era as the Northern Song Dynasty." ”

"Hehe, what Miss Ji said is very correct. Cheng Lao also praised Ji Yanran.

Jia Rudao smiled wryly and said, "Others, I still have two questions about this copper coin. First, the word 'hui' on this copper coin saves the last penny, and second, there are some bruises on the right side of the two characters 'same'. What's going on here?"

Jia Rudao said, and analyzed himself, and said: "If there has been a change, it is unlikely that it is only from the word 'same', right? Moreover, the treatment of 'will' also seems a little rough." For these two questions, Jia Rudao is puzzled. Now that I have met an expert, I naturally said it in one go.

"It seems that your observation skills are indeed very detailed. However, for the line of ancient coins, it is still just getting started. Cheng Lao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In the ancient coins, the most feared thing is that after getting in, they can't jump out, and they can't extricate themselves, such a person will never be able to become a real connoisseur." Only if you can drill in first, drill deep, and jump out at the same time. You have to look at it from a high point of view, from a macro point of view, in order to become a real connoisseur......"

"Cheng Lao, what you said is not yourself. Ji Yanran was on the side, smiled and said.

"Hehe, Miss Ji, you will praise me as an old man. Cheng Lao said modestly, "I'm in the ancient coin line, and I've just started......" He turned to Jia Rudao and said, "It's like you, young man, I have the mentality of the ancient coin line now, but it's almost the same as you." ”

"Cheng Lao, when you say that, are you saying that I have already started to enter the industry?" Jia Rudao said with a smile.

"You kid," Cheng Lao pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "The mentality is really good." As long as you maintain the current mentality, you can make achievements in the ancient numismatic industry...... Let's go back and look at this coin. First of all, the word 'same', as long as you look carefully, there is no trace of any alteration, which shows that it cannot be re-engraved. ”

"But that's where I wondered. Jia Rudao said.

"Hehe, you've seen too few coins. Cheng Lao said, "This kind of crushing injury is still a lot of ancient coins. Of course, many counterfeiters will also know this truth, many ancient coins, after being re-engraved, either because different fonts want to engrave the same will cause a lot of difficulties, or because the counterfeiters deliberately leave some traces of crushing......"

"In this way, as long as you identify whether the word 'same' has been altered or not, you don't need to think carefully, what is going on with this bruise?"

Cheng Lao just glanced at Jia Yidao lightly, and said it clearly. Most of the Taoism in the antique industry still needs to be experienced by the individual himself, and it is too clear to say it, but it is the Tao. "Let's talk about it. As you said earlier, it omits the last stroke of the word 'day' at the bottom and borrows the upper line of the coin's inner outline. This phenomenon is called 'borrowing pen' in the line of ancient coins, and it is a characteristic of early Liao coinage. ”

"This is the characteristic of the early minting of coins in the Liao Kingdom?" Jia Rudao was stunned, he really didn't know about this.

"Hehe, a few decades ago, I had the pleasure of seeing a 'Tianlu Tongbao' that was also an early Liao coin, in which the word 'Lu' in 'Tianlu' is also a borrowed pen, borrowing the same point as the 'water' in the lower right part and the side. Cheng Lao was afraid that Jia Yidao would have some other ideas, and deliberately said something about himself, and then sighed, "The number of coins minted in the early Liao Dynasty is very rare, and the ones that have survived to this day are even rarer." It can be said that each one is precious. Young man, you've missed a big shot. ”

"Hehe, it's all luck. Jia Rudao scratched the back of his head a little wryly.

"Cheng Lao, how much is this copper coin worth?" It is said that Ji Yanran would not ask such a question in such a philistine. However, Xu saw Jia Yidao's somewhat stunned expression, and Ji Yanran asked for help.

When Jia Rudao heard this, he was also in good spirits. looked at Cheng Lao with blank eyes, hoping that Cheng Lao could name a specific number.

"If the old man told me the price, wouldn't you come and ask me to help me appraise it? "It's very rare, Cheng Lao actually made a joke between Jia Yidao and Ji Yanran, "However, for the sake of the young man, you only spent a few hundred yuan to receive this precious 'Huitong Tongbao', which made me also grow a lot of knowledge, so I will simply tell you directly, the price of this copper coin will at least increase by hundreds of times, and once it is on the auction house, it can be multiplied to a thousand times." ”

"That's really congratulations, Xiao Jia. Ji Yanran looked at Jia Rudao with a smile and said, "I see, Cheng Lao, don't be polite to him, anyway, Xiao Jia has just picked up the leak and made a fortune, so he should have a treat." ”

"Okay!" Jia Rudao naturally agreed happily and said, "Why don't you just do it tonight, how about it?"

"Hehe, you young people, go. I don't have the time. Cheng Lao glanced at Jia Yidao and Ji Yanran, and shook his head as he spoke.

Seeing Jia Rudao's curious eyes, Ji Yanran whispered: "Cheng Lao will go back to the provincial capital in the afternoon." ”

"Oh!" Jia Rudao understood. In addition to jewelry and jade experts like Lao Wang, there are also many other types of antique experts from various cities and areas in the province. If it weren't for that, Jia Rudao pondered, it was unlikely that it would be as large as yesterday, right?

Next, Jia Rudao followed Ji Yanran and had a casual meal with all the experts in the hall downstairs of the Taizhou Hotel! For example, Ji Yanran is a lecturer in the university. Everyone can communicate with each other, which can be regarded as enriching their interpersonal relationships.

For this reason, Jia Rudao naturally followed the trend and got to know many experts.
