Chapter 99: Heavenly Treasure (II)

"Hey, don't bring this, you're naked money grabbing!" This big money, Big Tooth had just shown it to Xu Qian, and before he could take a closer look, he was snatched by Wu Chen, and he was immediately very dissatisfied.

Wu Chen didn't have time to talk to him, took a look, and sure enough, he saw the coin in his hand, on the front of Huang Chengcheng, it was the word "Heaven", he couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly turned it over, and saw that the back was cast with two big characters "Holy Treasure" on the cross, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"What? Fake? Seeing Wu Chen's expression change, Daya's heart sank, Xu Jing said that he was looking for an ancient coin, and hung it with a red rope as an anklet, it happened that today was her birthday, and it was also considered a suitable situation, this was in a pile of ancient coins, and Xu Jing checked it out, so he was naturally more nervous than the main owner.

"You're scared the hell out of me! I thought you had such good luck! Wu Chen said angrily, this "Heavenly Sacred Treasure" is yellow and dark, and the words are square and round, "It's not fake, but compared to the Holy Treasure, it's far behind, hey, I said you don't know how to read?" The holy words can be pronounced into words, I really convince you! ”

"Hehe, get used to it, isn't this ancient money all a certain treasure? What's wrong with this holy treasure, it's worth more than Tongbao, right? Look at this name, Holy Treasure, Holy Treasure, as soon as you hear it, you will be X, tsk! Big Tooth said unashamedly.

"That's right, I like this very much, Heavenly Treasure, this name sounds good when you hear it!" Xu Jing also smiled happily, she really liked it, and besides, Da Ya helped her check it, so she had to leave a step for him.

Wu Chen didn't know what to say, he was also a little disappointed when he heard about the Heavenly Kingdom Treasure, but he was a little disappointed, then again, it was not bad to be able to find such a good Heavenly Kingdom Sacred Treasure!

However, as soon as he heard that Big Tooth said that he was going to use Xu Qian as an anklet, Wu Chen was completely speechless, what is called a tyrannical thing, these two goods are!

There is such a tradition among the people, believing that ancient coins are used to ward off evil spirits, and the coins dug up by the second aunt's family, which are relatively intact, are used as "superstition". But those are all old, relatively ordinary ancient money, where such good things are useful!

According to the collection level of the coin, this "Heavenly Treasure", which is also considered a fine product, such a good coin hangs on the foot, and it will not take half a year to wear out.

Seeing that Wu Chen didn't say anything more, he walked to the front desk, and he didn't know how much Lu Dao spent to buy it, so he walked back triumphantly and handed the ancient coin to Xu Jing.

Seeing Xu Jing's elated appearance, Wu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, no matter what, it is difficult to change a beautiful woman's smile, you can not want it, let alone a copper coin?

"By the way, Pig Head, you haven't said anything yet, what is the difference between this Tongbao and the Holy Treasure, look at you." Lin Zhen saw that their transaction was completed, so he asked Wu Chendao.

"The word "Kingdom of Heaven", everyone should know the Tao of Lu, which refers to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Wu Chen smiled, seeing that Xu Qian was holding the big money in his hand, he couldn't put it down.

"Oh, it's this heaven, I thought it was ......," Big Tooth finished and pointed to his head.

“…… Isn't that a dead coin, phew! Wu Chen was speechless for a moment, the big tooth is estimated to have deliberately interrupted, and he is also a history lover, so he doesn't know what to do there.

However, it is said that in that year, after the Taiping army conquered Nanjing, it was renamed Tianjing and began to mint its own currency. At the beginning, it was also a traditional practice, called Heavenly Tongbao. However, soon after the minting of the bank, the Celestial Empire made a regulation that all coins of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should abolish the word "Tongbao" and use the word "Shengbao" instead. ”

"Hey, interesting, what's this for? Heaven? Daya couldn't help but say, he really doesn't know about this, not only him, these people, most of their understanding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is in middle school history books, and many of them have forgotten it now, and only remember one name!

"The origin of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is well known to all, and the word 'sacred' is taken from the religious program of Jesus as the savior, so most of the Taiping army's holy treasury, holy food, holy soldiers, etc., use the word "holy", and of course this coin should be the same. Wu Chen explained to them a little.

"Don't interrupt!" Xu Qian and Lin Zhen listened to it with relish, and when they saw that Daya was about to interrupt Wu Chen again, they glanced at him sideways and urged Wu Chen to continue.

"After the restructuring, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soon stopped minting and recycling the 'Heavenly Kingdom Tongbao' money, and changed to mint new money." Wu Chen still has a little understanding of ancient coins, although he has never seen the real thing for Fifty Zhen, but he has consulted the relevant information, and now he has the opportunity to popularize it for them.

"This new big money is still the word 'heaven' on the front, but 'holy treasure' on the back. The main ones are ten coins with one as ten, that is, the so-called 'Heavenly Sacred Treasure' big money, in addition to the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' back Holy Treasure, 'Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasure' back Taiping, 'Taiping Holy Treasure' back Heavenly Kingdom and other 10 different types of small money. ”

"Wait...... wait" Daya and the others were stunned by him, what to carry, what to be, what does this mean!

Wu Chen had no choice but to explain to them, the general saying of ancient coins is the front word style plus the back word style, so that people in the industry can roughly know what the Tao looks like when they hear it, such as the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" back cross holy treasure, which means that the front is engraved with the four words Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the back is a cross engraved with the words holy treasure.

As for "dang", it is also called "folding", which is a concept corresponding to "Xiaoping". Xiaoping refers to the most ordinary article, also known as Xiaoping money, folding a penny, which is the penny mentioned in the costume TV series, with a diameter of about 2.3 cm.

"Fold" is a special noun for ancient coins, which refers to a system of ancient coin denominations, which means the smallest unit of measurement for how many coins are converted. For example, the value of a ten-fold coin is equivalent to the value of ten small flat coins (ten wen), and the size of the ten-fold in ancient coins is generally about 4 centimeters.

"Is this the case, if Xiaoping money represents one yuan, five yuan is five yuan, and ten yuan is ten yuan." After hearing this, Big Tooth immediately drew inferences from each other.

"It's a genius!" Wu Chen didn't hesitate to give him a thumbs up! It's such a simple sentence to talk nonsense yourself.

"What about this holy treasure? Is it big money or small money? Xu Jing took the ancient coin in her hand, felt heavy, and asked with an expectant face, "Also, is it because this holy word is rarely used, so it is more valuable?" ”

"This one of yours belongs to Xiaoping, and it is good that it is in such good condition." Wu Chen had seen it himself just now, although he didn't see much of the ancient coins, but compared with the atlas he had seen before, he shouldn't be wrong.

"As for the money? In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is just more than ten years, due to the short casting period, the minting money is not much, only used in the Jiangnan area, so there are few heirlooms, the big money of the 'Heavenly Treasure' is less, and the early 'Heavenly Treasure' big money can be said to be rare, and only twelve or thirteen pieces have been found in the world, except for two that were lost overseas in the early years, the rest are in China. ”

"How much is this Heavenly Treasure worth?" Seeing that Wu Chen said that he was precious and rare, he had no concept at all!

"Hehe, this 'Heavenly Treasure' is on the list of fifty treasures of ancient coins, I don't know how much it is, I just remember that I once saw it, and it seems that the market price is more than 300,000." Wu Chen could only say from memory, and he didn't have much in his heart.

"So expensive? If only there were here. After hearing this, Big Tooth licked his tongue and prepared to go through it again.

Wu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, not to mention the Heavenly Treasure, even the Heavenly Sacred Treasure's big money, it will not be placed in this pile of tattered piles that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, you can choose, the store is not ignorant, how can such a clear leak be possible!

"In fact, this small coin is also good, generally the front is the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" four words, like this, "Heavenly Kingdom" two words back "Holy Treasure", should be an early coinage, there are Xiaoping, fold ten kinds, Xiaoping is relatively rare, should be worth twenty or thirty thousand, fold ten is more common, the layout is more, the market price of the ordinary version is about a few thousand yuan."

"I see." Everyone nodded, they were all a little impressed, Xu Jing even took the ancient coin in her hand and rubbed it, looking like she couldn't put it down, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, why is this national character a little less?" It can't be fake, right? ”

"That's right! The national character of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is from the king not from the jade, it is said that the head of the Hongda sect thinks that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the royal road, if it is a little more, it is fake. Wu Chen said with a smile.

"That's great! Thank you! Xu Jing smiled at the big tooth and said, the two neat white teeth are very beautiful.

"Thank you! Go back and make a red rope and put it on your feet to keep safe! Big Tooth looked indifferent, but he thought obscenely about how tempting it would be to tie a red anklet to this white and tender fat foot.

Wu Chen saw that there was something wrong here, and went over to look at the bronze statue again, and when Big Tooth saw him running over again and again, thinking that there was something good, he also followed, squatted down, and saw Wu Chen in a daze at a piece of rotten copper.

"What's that?" No wonder the big tooth can't see it, this bronze man is smooth, like a person standing upright without clothes, and has nothing to do with any Buddha statues, the workmanship is rough, not only the face is blurred, but the legs are sticky together, and the whole is a copper pile.

"Bronze Man!" Wu Chen had already looked at it carefully, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Eighteen bronze men of Shaolin Temple?" Big Tooth looked at the ugly bronze man, a little inexplicable, this wood doesn't want to be bought back to practice, right? Now Wing Chun is hot, and wooden stakes are being driven everywhere, but this bronze man is slippery, can it be directly hit on it, this is made of pure copper, no joke.

"I don't know what to do, I just look weird, and I want to buy it back and study it carefully." Wu Chen really couldn't think of any good words, so he had to say perfunctorily.

"Isn't this just a cast bronze statue of a broken billet, a piece of copper lump, I don't know if the road was pulled out of that garbage heap, and it was sold by catties, right?" Li Xuezhi said coldly on the side, this is a wake-up call for Wu Chen, maybe the person who received the goods in this store also thought so, and hugged it back, how much can it be sold.

Big Tooth didn't do anything when he heard it, although he didn't think much of Wu Chen buying this thing, but he couldn't let people cut Wu Chen's face, and said angrily: "Damn, buddy can't buy it back and study the copper casting technique?" Sometimes the experience of failure is more valuable than the experience of success! ”

Wu Chen didn't care where they were arguing, and called the guy over and asked about the price. The guy saw that the person was indeed a buyer, and he was not ambiguous, and directly quoted 20,000 yuan, of course, this price is much more expensive than buying by catty, but according to the price of the object, such a large bronze statue only costs 20,000, which is much cheaper.
