"This era name was set on July 26, the 11th year of Xianfeng, but on September 30 of the same year, the Empress Dowager Cixi and a prince at that time staged a coup d'état, seized power, and executed or exiled eight ministers, and on October 5, the era name was changed from Qixiang to Tongzhi."

"The existence time of this era name is only sixty-nine days, it can be said that it is a rare short-lived era name in the history of our country, the coins minted by this era name, due to the short time of minting, have no time to circulate, it was abolished, and some coins issued in the people were also ordered to be recovered, all destroyed, and cast as Tongzhi coins, so the coins of the Qixiang year name are very few handed down and are extremely difficult to see, which is why it is a treasure." Fang You said with a smile.

Historically, no matter what item, it is rare and expensive, antiques are even more so, some copper coins with large circulation such as Qianlong Tongbao are not worth anything at all, on the contrary, those short-lived dynasties, the coins minted, there are very few handed down, and its value has greatly increased, and the big Qi Tongbao in the hands of Fang You is a clear example.

"Brother Xiaoyou, since this copper coin is a treasure, how much can it be worth." Uncle Da Zhu couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

Fang You smiled slightly, the collection of antiques is only about the meaning, in the eyes of some people who love them, this copper coin is a real priceless treasure, but in this world, no matter what it is, it has its corresponding value to measure, saying that it is a priceless treasure, it is just a saying, maybe the price you gave did not reach the price that its owner wanted.

"If it is Qixiang Tongbao, then the value of a copper coin should be more than 1,000 yuan, far from reaching 10,000 yuan, Uncle Tie, do you find any difference between this copper coin and other copper coins." Fang You picked up the coin from the table, gently pinched it with two fingers, and asked Uncle Tie and the others.

Ye Yuqing couldn't help but take the copper coin from Fang You's hand, observed it carefully, and then checked it with her hand, and couldn't help but feel sure in her heart.

"Little Brother Fang, I have been carrying this copper coin with me for a long time, and I think it is much heavier than ordinary copper coins, and it is also much larger than ordinary copper coins. Uncle Tie looked at the copper coin and asked with some confusion.

Fang You smiled slightly, pointed to the big characters on the coin and said: "Uncle Tie, this is the difference between Tongbao and Chongbao, all you have in your family is Qianlong Tongbao, and this copper coin is Qixiang Heavy Treasure, Tongbao is generally only a penny, and Chongbao can be used as a ten, or even a fifty, and more than fifty, it is called an ingot, a copper coin can be used as ten yuan, which causes the heavy treasure to be much heavier than Tongbao." ”

"The weight of Qixiang Tongbao is about one penny and two cents, and the weight of ordinary Qixiang heavy treasure is as much as seven coins and four points, this Qixiang town treasure is different from ordinary, more special, its weight is far more than seven two or four points, it is estimated to reach as much as twenty coins, it can be seen from the size of the copper coin, than I have an ancient Tongbao coin here, weighing about one penny, you can feel it." Fang You smiled slightly, and took out the Great Qi Tongbao on his body.

Before getting the Great Qi Tongbao, Fang You followed Chu Lao to learn a lot of knowledge of ancient coins, which made him see the Great Qi Tongbao, and confirmed its preciousness at a glance, the Great Qi Tongbao is a special first-class coin among the fifty treasures of ancient Chinese money, its value can be called a priceless treasure, there are only two in the world today, and they are all incomplete, and one of them was lost in the Qing Dynasty, his intact Great Qi Tongbao, its preciousness can be seen.

After getting the Great Qi Tongbao, Fang You is in the knowledge of ancient coins, and has made ancient efforts to learn, and even with it, he has also learned the historical knowledge of various dynasties and generations, and the historical dynasty information of various types of antiques is basically interconnected, and the only difference is the manufacturing process and identification points of various types of antiques.

This is also one of the reasons why Fang You can recognize Qi Xiang's heavy treasure, if he graduated from college before he got the escape technique, he would be like Zhou Mingyang, and he didn't know what Qi Xiang was.

Uncle Tie and the others didn't know the value of the Great Qi Tongbao at all, so they picked up the Great Qi Tongbao with one hand and the Qixiang Heavy Treasure with the other, and felt the weight difference between the Tongbao and the heavy treasure, the sky and the earth.

"Brother Xiaoyou, this copper coin is indeed many times heavier than ordinary copper coins, and its value can be much higher than ordinary Qixiang Tongbao." Uncle Da Zhu couldn't help but ask, he was extremely looking forward to this copper coin being a valuable thing, and then they could use this copper coin to repay Fang You's kindness.

Fang You smiled slightly, "The gap between Qixiang Tongbao and Chongbao is not only in weight and quantity, but also because Qixiang Chongbao is finished and beautiful, and its copper quality is different from ordinary Tongbao copper coins. The craftsmanship is very refined, and it can be called the representative work of the advanced coinage technology at that time. ”

"In this way, its value is far more than the ordinary Qixiang Tongbao, and even the ordinary Qixiang heavy treasure, in the past few years, there was an auction, among the lots, there is a Qixiang heavy treasure town treasury big money, its appearance is not much different from the copper coin we see now, Uncle Tie, guess what, what is its final transaction price."

Town treasury money, in order to suppress disasters and drive away evil spirits, pray for auspicious wealth, eternal town wealth, the imperial court in the coinage, more in the treasury set up a shrine, in order to worship the god of wealth, the owner of the warehouse, the land, the god of fire and other gods.

Above the incense case of the shrine, most of them hang a special large coin, which is draped with red silk and hung with tassels below, which is called the town treasury money.

The town treasury money means auspicious and wealthy, which can be said to be a kind of mascot, and is deeply loved and frantically sought after by all coin lovers.

Hearing Fang You's words of inquiry, Uncle Da Zhu said with some uncertainty: "Fifty thousand ......" Seeing Fang You shake his head, he continued to add all the way up, "One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand......

"Uncle Da Zhuzi, you are too conservative, these prices are too low, if it is an ordinary Qixiang heavy treasure, maybe it is still somewhat compliant, and the big money in the town treasury, its preciousness is far more than any copper coin, I tell you now, its final transaction price is four and a half million yuan." Fang You shook his head, and then calmly said a number.

"What, four and a half million ......" Fang You's words made Uncle Tie and Uncle Da Zhu fall into extreme shock, and Zhou Mingyang next to him was even more unbelievable, such an inconspicuous coin was worth more than four million.

This can be said to be incredible, this copper coin, but it is a little larger than an ordinary copper coin, a little heavier, it has such a precious value, not only the party Uncle Tie and others, but even the people next to them, hearing such a value, they can't help but be a little moved.

Four and a half million, Uncle Tie and the others couldn't help but be a little excited while being shocked in their hearts, this thing is really a rare treasure, they can use it to repay Fang You's kindness.

"Young man, this copper coin is worth four and a half million, this is a little impossible, listen to what you said, although it is precious, hundreds of thousands should be about the same." Some onlookers couldn't help but say with some skepticism.

Hearing someone talking next to them, Uncle Tie and the others looked up and were suddenly startled, only to find that their surroundings were already full of people, some were doctors in white coats, some were patients in hospital gowns, and some were wearing suits and other clothing, it seemed that they were relatives and friends who came to watch the patients.

Fang You smiled slightly, "Four and a half million, the reason why its price is so high is that it is a rarity of the town treasury, which is more precious than the ordinary Qixiang Tongbao and even the heavy treasure, not only because it is larger and heavier than the ordinary heavy treasure, but more importantly, it is a good luck as a town treasury big money, it has the significance of fighting disasters and warding off evil spirits, and it can be said to be a mascot. ”

Hearing Fang You's words, some people suddenly realized that some of them were not antique collectors, and they didn't know the difference between copper coins and tongbao, heavy treasures, and big money in the town treasury, but now they completely understood.

"Brother Xiaoyou, four and a half million, it's hard to believe, I didn't expect Brother Tie to have such a precious thing in his family, Brother Tie carries copper coins with him every day, which is equivalent to carrying millions with him, haha." Uncle Da Zhu said excitedly with a laugh.

After that, he said with some joy: "Brother Tie, fortunately, the eldest sister stopped you at that time, otherwise, you sold it to Lao Wang, and it would be too late to regret it." ”

"yes." Uncle Tie said with palpitations, Lao Wang only gave out three thousand yuan, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that it could be worth more than four million, maybe even Lao Wang himself would not have thought of it.

"By the way, Brother Xiaoyou, this copper coin of the Great Qi Tongbao is also an extraordinary thing, and its value should be higher than that of Qixiang Heavy Treasure." Uncle Da Zhu cautiously picked up the big Qi Tongbao on the table, and asked with some interest.

Knowing the value of Qi Qi's heavy treasure town treasury, he no longer dared to pick up the copper coin directly like before, this is something worth millions.

"If it is an ordinary Qixiang treasure, it is far overshadowed, but this town treasury is a big money, its significance is extraordinary, although the big Qi Tongbao is extremely rare, but in terms of value, it is a little worse." Fang You said with a slight smile, the big money in the town treasury is all made by fine work, and the quantity is very small, and it cannot be compared with the ordinary copper coins issued by the people.
