Sun Zhongyuan sat opposite the old man, originally he was leaning on the back of the chair and squinting, the old man took out the ancient coin, and he couldn't help but open his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun shone through the car window and onto the old man's ancient coin.

This ancient coin is indeed relatively large, with a diameter of six centimeters, which is a large coin and relatively heavy. Although there is a lot of black dirt on it, it can also be seen that the slightly exposed copper is very good.

The old man stuck the edge with two fingers and flipped the ancient coin. Sun Zhongyuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, the font was clear, the words were sharp, and it was definitely not coinage!

This ancient coin, at the beginning of most of the bronze, in the Ming Dynasty after Jiajing, began to use brass, but no matter what, the vast majority of the circulating in the market are cast.

There is only one that is not casting, and that is the carving mother.

The process of opening the furnace to mint money is roughly like this: first select the best copper and make a small amount of carving mother. The carving mother, also known as the ancestral money, is hand-carved, and the words on it, of course, are different from the casting, never drag the mud and water, beautiful. Moreover, because of the hand-carving, the words on each carving mother are slightly different.

The money that is recast by using the carved mother is called the mother money. Then, it is cast with the mother money and sand casting, so that the copper coins in circulation are created. Among them, there is another kind of money, called sample money, which is slightly worse than the mother money, better than the ordinary money, and is the best product in the first batch of money recast by the mother money.

Therefore, the mother money of the same dynasty and the same version must be more valuable than the ordinary copper coins in circulation.

As for the carving mother, not to mention, what can be handed down is basically not cheap.

Because of the special nature of the carved mother, the money bureau uses it to recast the mother money, it is to be archived and put into storage, and it is really rare for the folk to circulate.

Moreover, the ornamental nature of the carving mother is too good. Those who play ancient coins attach great importance to the word mouth, and the word mouth of the carved mother, because it is carved and handmade, can be imagined.

It is worth mentioning that the carving mother not only has copper, but also wood and dentinous, the copper carving mother is used to recast the mother money, and the wood, tooth carving mother, is to be sent to the emperor for review.

The carving mother is easy to identify as there are no casting marks. Of course, it's not difficult to fake, and it's not too easy to engrave on computers now.

Although there were also copper carving mothers in the Ming Dynasty, there were still few of them, and the coins of the Qing Dynasty began to use a large number of copper carving mothers.

The carving mother in the old man's hand is the Xianfeng ingots of the Qing Dynasty!

Back "Baoquan", "when five hundred".

This Baoquan Bureau is the institution in charge of coinage, in the Qing Dynasty, there were Baoquan Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau, as well as minting institutions in various places. The Baoquan Bureau belongs to the Ministry of Households, and the Baoyuan Bureau belongs to the Ministry of Industry, which is the central agency.

Why do Tibetan friends who like ancient coins call each other "Quanyou"? This is similar to the organization in charge of coinage called the "Baoquan Bureau." Spring instead of money is a pretext for the ancients to hope that money is like a spring.

The coins of the Qing Dynasty, the most famous among ordinary people, are probably the Kangxi Tongbao Luohan money (you can ask yourself Du Niang, and it also involves love). However, in the eyes of ancient coin collectors, the exquisite Xianfeng big money undoubtedly occupies a very important position in the Qing coin.

During the Xianfeng period, because of the Taiping Rebellion, the Yunnan copper road was blocked, and the raw materials for coinage were urgent. At the same time, big money was also minted.

There are two main kinds of big money, one is called Xianfeng Heavy Treasure and the other is called Xianfeng Ingot Treasure. The back of Xianfeng Heavy Treasure generally has the words "when ten", when "twenty", and "when fifty". Obviously, one is used for so many.

And Xianfeng ingots have a lot of money, and they deserve more, when they are a hundred, when they are five hundred, when they are thousands.

Xianfeng heavy treasure and Xianfeng ingot, one is a big one, the diameter of the heavy treasure is generally about 3.5 to 4 cm, and the ingots can reach about 5 to 6 cm. The diameter of ordinary copper coins in the Qing Dynasty was basically more than two centimeters.

Second, copper is often relatively sophisticated. You fooled with small money, when there is so much big money, and the issuance is small, it will not look good if you fool around.

Third, the font is beautiful and dignified.

Therefore, there are many collectors of Xianfeng big money. A good Xianfeng big money in the hand, yellow and clear, heavy, play and appreciate the beautiful font, it is indeed very comfortable. It's not easy for non-players to understand, it's like a kind of satisfaction.

When it comes to copper coins in the Xianfeng period, there are thousands of varieties of all kinds. Let's just say that Xianfeng heavy treasure and Xianfeng ingot, there are many varieties. The most worthless Xianfeng heavy treasures and Xianfeng ingots, as long as they are of similar quality, they also cost hundreds of yuan.

As for the valuable, there are quite a few tens of thousands. The market price of "Xianfeng Ingot Back Baoquan as 500" is very high. As long as it is genuine and in ordinary condition, it can be worth hundreds of thousands!

As for "Xianfeng ingots back Baoquan as five hundred carving mothers", I don't know how many pieces were made at that time, it must not be much. It has appeared on the market, and one has also been auctioned, and there are auction records to check, four years ago, it was auctioned for more than 2 million yuan.

It is estimated that this scammer auction company is what Ann said according to this.

Of course, there are many popular things, valuable things, and fakes.

The rare treasure of the carving mother, take it out, don't look at it, and directly say that it is a fake, and it is estimated that the success rate can reach more than 99%.

However, Sun Zhongyuan looked at the Xianfeng ingots carving mother in the old man's hand, but saw the treasure light!

Judging from the sun-moistened pulp, the excellent copper exposed, and the font, mouth and coin shape, there is actually no problem.

That's a lot of fun!

The people of the liar auction company are probably playing tricks, and the target of the first idea is the 10,000 yuan appraisal fee! It is estimated that the appraisal certificate will be printed and stamped and produced!

I don't know if they look closely. But even if you look closely, I'm afraid they won't believe it's true.

What is a mistake? This is a typical case. If the scammer auction company has a real master and looks more carefully, then what is the 10,000 yuan appraisal fee?

But it doesn't seem to be. Don't blame them, their focus is on deceiving people, not picking up leaks.

Moreover, the carving mother is so rare, and fakes on the market are still so rampant!

It's like, if there is an ordinary person with an antique weight to talk to you. You know that if this thing is real, it will be worth hundreds of millions, but even if he sells it to you for tens of thousands, will you buy it?

It may seem like you're giving up because of the odds, but essentially, it's because you don't have enough eyesight. If you don't have enough eyesight, it becomes a gamble, and when you gamble, you will consider the odds.

But Sun Zhongyuan didn't use it.

Certainty is certainty, and things are genuine. It's just that Sun Zhongyuan feels that this thing is really a bit strange.

At this time, the old man seemed to notice that Sun Zhongyuan was staring at his things, and his expression looked a little embarrassed for a while.
