Ye Yu remembered that the old man once told him to keep the bag of copper coins, anyway, the bricks had to be moved from the day after tomorrow, and now at least you can know how precious the bag of copper coins is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Hey, Xiao Xu, take me to Old Man Qian, hurry up." "Old man Qian is a good friend of the old man during his lifetime, and he has a deep understanding of antiques, so he must know the value of these copper coins.
After a while, the car drove up to the door of the store. Ye Yu strode in, and sure enough, Old Man Qian was immersed in studying a piece of porcelain. "Grandpa Qian, Ye Yu is here to visit you. Ye Yuxian bowed at the door of the store. Old man Qian raised his head, saw Ye Yu, and smiled: "Xiao Yezi doesn't have to see outside, okay, take out your things and see if there are any treasures." ”
"There must be treasures, but I don't know about them. Although Ye Yu has only seen a few, which Hongwu Tongbao with the Beijing character engraved on the back can be called a treasure. Ye Yu poured out all the copper coins, the old man grabbed a few, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "There are really good things, Xiao Yezi, where did you get it? How much did it cost?" Ye Yu pouted: "These are the ancient coins that my old man left me." ”
"......What? I see," exclaimed the old man, these coins were the treasures that the old man had mentioned to him before his death. Old man Qian shook a copper coin in his hand: "Shunzhi Tongbao Kaishu folds two carved mothers, engraves the original characters on the back, and is worth tens of thousands, if you can find a few, it is a lot of wealth." ”
The carved mother, that is, the hand-carved mother money, also known as the ancestral money, is generally carved directly into a money mold with copper or tin or lead. When casting money, use the ancestral money as a mold and turn the mother money. The mother money is then issued to various places, and the mother money is used to make fan coinage in various places.
The production of the carving mother is very fine, the money is exquisite, carved by hand, the text is thin and tall, the word mouth is deep and steep, the strokes are strong and powerful, the ground chapter is smooth and clean, there are no casting traces in the whole body, and the money in circulation is slightly larger and heavier than the same version of the circulation. The carving mother is already scarce, and the one that has been handed down is even rarer, no matter which version of the carving mother is very precious and expensive.
"I have almost collected all the treasures of Hongwu Tongbao, but I am missing a carving mother, a small leaf, you must transfer it to me. "Old man Qian is addicted to money, and when he sees the treasures he doesn't have, he is thrilled, and he forgets to commit an antique taboo, or rather, he doesn't care if he will be stabbed by Ye Yuzai.
"That, the carving mother is mine, right?" Ye Yu was a little speechless, this guy was really 'open-eyed when he saw money', and he forgot about the owner of the 'money'. "Xiao Yezi, you don't want to sell it, do you?" Old man Qian was anxious, he was almost crazy about ancient coins, if he missed such a treasure, then he wouldn't want to sleep for the next month.
Ye Yu coughed, and then said solemnly: "I can sell it to you as the Eagle Mother, but there is one thing I must affirm, if there are fifty treasures in it, I am not allowed to bid, and I will not sell the bid." ”
Fifty Treasures is a collective term for fifty ancient coins, but it does not mean that every one of them is the most precious, in fact, some ancient coins will not cost less than fifty treasures. But Ye Yu had an idea, collecting fifty treasures, this is something that the Palace Museum can't do, if he completes it, it will be considered a great achievement, right?
Of course, Ye Yu knew that this was very difficult, fifty treasures were extremely rare, some varieties were almost unique, and some varieties were only stored in museums and could not be collected at all. Old man Qian is the best proof of this, he is crazy about "money" and crazy about "money", and he has only collected 31 kinds for decades.
Moreover, Ye Yu has an innate disadvantage in collecting ancient coins, and aura induction is not useful. It's no wonder that just take a lot of copper coins out, each one is full of age, and each one can make the aura induce, and it is impossible to judge which one is a treasure unless you get the help of a professional. After all, the category of antiques is too extensive, even experts can't say that they can do anything, as long as it is an antique, it is an antique, China has a history of 5,000 years.
"Okay, that's it. "Old man Qian doesn't have a big opinion, anyway, this carving mother is not among the fifty treasures, if there are really fifty treasures here, then Ye Yu doesn't sell it, and he can't help it.
The two of them got busy and began to classify the copper coins, and there were words in their mouths, and the old man Qian muttered very dissatisfiedly: "Hongwu Tongbao, Hongwu Tongbao again, why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao?"
It's not that the old man looks down on Hongwu Tongbao, Hongwu is the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, since the first year of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Tongbao began to be minted, it is a popular in the ancient coin market, and the transaction price is not low, the Hongwu Tongbao engraved with the word "Beijing" on the back is folded for two coins, and there are more than a dozen kinds of prices thousands.
It's just that Old Man Qian has almost gathered a set of Hongwu Tongbao, and Hongwu Tongbao is no longer very attractive to him. He would have preferred to have more copper coins in the pile that he didn't have. "One, two, three......"
Qian Beibei was counting the Hongwu Tongbao picked out by her grandfather, Old Man Qian, and soon exclaimed: "Fifty-eight Hongwu Tongbao have been collected." "One set?" Ye Yu was happy, the price of a complete set must be higher than that of a piece, and if a set is collected, the price will rise by at least two percent. "Unfortunately, it's still incomplete. Qian Beibei sighed, there are actually sixty-one kinds of Hongwu Tongbao, but three of them have not been handed down, so that now fifty-eight kinds are counted as one set.
"It's time to be content, let alone make up sixty-one, even if there are only fifty-nine, the value is unimaginable. Old man Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, if there is one more, the extra one is a unique piece in the world, which can cause a sensation in the collection and archaeological circles, and then hype it properly, it can auction the copper coin at a sky-high price.
"You kid is so lucky!" Qian Beibei couldn't help but envy, if this set of fifty-eight Hongwu Tongbao is sold in zero, the price will be about 120,000, but if you get together a set, it will be worth at least 150,000. "In the end, it's not going to fall into your hands. Ye Yu shook his head, according to the current form estimate, it is equivalent to Ye Yu buying these copper coins at a low price, which is cheaper than a few of them.
But Ye Yu doesn't care, the original intention of buying these copper coins has been achieved, and it is already an unexpected joy that they can be worth hundreds of thousands. "Your grandfather can't be a fan of Hongwu, right?, why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao?" Qian Beibei became more and more depressed the more he looked at it, and he could almost make up a second set of Hongwu Tongbao.
"That's not great. "Ye Yu is very happy, the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty are very popular in the market, and the price is much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty. "Don't rejoice too early, there are more in the Qing Dynasty. Qian Beibei pointed to several piles of copper coins: "Shunzhi's, Kangxi's, Yongzheng's, Qianlong's, and Jiaqing's are estimated to be integrated, and there are surpluses." ”
"There are indeed too many Shunzhi Tongbao. Ye Yu was also a little speechless, there are more than forty kinds of Shunzhi Tongbao, but there are hundreds here. The key is that Shunzhi Tongbao is not worth much, most of them are more than ten or dozens of yuan, and only a few prices are more than 1,000. "Don't be unhappy, look at this. Qian Beibei quickly picked out a copper coin from the Shunzhi Tongbao pile and handed it over.
"Fold two coins, carved the original words on the back, is it very strange?" Ye Yu pursed his lips, and immediately felt that it was wrong, there are a lot of small flat coins circulating in Shunzhi Tongbao, but the two coins are very rare, and only the "name of the bureau" money is found in the two coins, and it is the word "Baoquan", and there is no back engraved "original" word. "Is it a new variety?" Ye Yu couldn't help but be excited, if it was a new discovery, then this copper coin would be a unique product in the world, and it would be possible to sell for hundreds of thousands. "How dare you think about it. Qian Beibei rolled her eyes, and the only product was not cabbage.
"This is the Eagle Mother. Ye Yu finally remembered that among the types of Shunzhi Tongbao that were born, only the carving mother was the carving mother who folded two coins and engraved the original words on the back. Even so, he was already very satisfied, and the carving mother of any version of the copper coin was very rare and expensive. At present, in the market, this version of the carving mother is more than 20,000, and it is not surprising that if you meet a favorite, it will sell for 30,000.
"Great Qi Tongbao!" Seeing the four words on the copper coin, the old man Qian was also stunned, it is indeed the Great Qi Tongbao among the fifty treasures, and it is a variety that is hard to find, because it has only one in existence, and it is overseas. Daqi Tongbao is the first kind of Southern Tang Dynasty coin minted by Li Mou, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the amount of survival is very rare, only two were born, one of which has been lost, and the other is overseas, so Daqi Tongbao can only see the rubbing, but can not see the real thing.
