The simple man said that his things were good, but they belonged to selling flowers and praising the fragrance of flowers, and there was no reference value.

"Big brother, whether the thing is good or not, I have to look at it to find out." Fang Yuan chuckled and said, "If it's convenient, you take out the things and show them to me, and I'll help you make an assessment." ”

"Uh......" The simple man hesitated, and then reached into his close-fitting pocket, carefully taking out the things, but he clenched them tightly, and after hesitating for a while, he put them on the table.

Fang Yuan took a look and found that the thing was a coin, a copper coin with a square hole. Upon closer inspection, he found that the copper coin was a little dirty, and the surface was covered with a layer of mud that had not yet been wiped clean, and it looked as if it had just been dug out of the ground.

"That's it." The simple man pushed the copper coin in front of Fang Yuan, and said nervously: "The big and heavy copper coin is definitely a good thing, a valuable antique......"

"Wait." When Fang Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Big brother, do you know what this store is doing?" ”

"Isn't it an antique?" The simple man looked confused.

Fang Yuan immediately laughed, and kindly explained: "Big brother, this is not an antique shop, it's a magic weapon shop." ”

"How not?" The simple man said in surprise: "Aren't there a lot of copper coins hanging in this store?" ”

“…… It's different. Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: "The copper coins in the store, those are antique copper coins, and then sent to the temple to open the light, it has become a magic weapon for praying for blessings and eliminating disasters." If this copper coin of yours is really something handed down from your ancestors, it is an ancient coin. You have to go to the antique shop on the next street to sell it. ”

Under Fang Yuan's suggestion, the simple man understood what was going on, and hurriedly put away the copper coin. Embarrassed and smiled: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, leave immediately......"

The simple man was embarrassed, bowed, and hurried away.

Fang Yuan smiled and continued to drink tea, but only half an hour had passed. He saw the simple man just now, wandering at the door of the store again, wanting to come in but embarrassed to enter.

"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned. He walked out and asked, "Big brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Fang Yuan's attitude was gentle, making the simple man suddenly feel like he had found an organization, and cried: "Brother." You don't know. The owner of the antique shop next door who sells things is really not a thing......"

"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

"I followed your instructions and went to the next door to find a store pù and asked them if they would accept anything. They said they were willing to take it and asked me to show them something. The simple man said indignantly: "I showed them the things, but they said that the things were not good, and they were only willing to pay a few dozen yuan to buy the things." It's clear that you're going to trap me. ”

"Big brother, don't worry. Have something to say slowly. Fang Yuan said, "Let's go, go in and have a cup of tea, and dissipate your anger." ”

Fang Yuan took the simple man to the tea room, poured a cup of tea, and after a few words of relief, he asked: "Big brother, you have to know that the price of antiques is inversely proportional to the amount of the world. Especially in ancient times, the more coins are in existence, the smaller the price. If the quantity is scarce, the price will be high. ”

"Even if the things you have in your hands are antiques, it is normal that you can't sell them for a high price because there are too many surviving items."

Fang Yuanjian said: "Of course, it is not excluded that someone will cheat you." However, there is a bookstore in the nearby street, and there are some books about the collection of ancient coins in the bookstore, and there should be market prices of ancient coins from all dynasties on the books. ”

"Don't be so troublesome, little brother, you are a sincere person, just help me take a look." The simple man showed a sincere smile, and then took out the things and handed them to Fang Yuan.

"The problem is that I don't know much about ancient coins, so it's hard to identify." Fang Yuan hesitated, but the simple man handed the things in front of him, so he took it easily.

After taking a look, Fang Yuan found that this coin was obviously different from ordinary ancient coins. Generally speaking, bronze coins are not very heavy, and the quality is even more uneven.

If the dynastic economy was stable, the copper content of the coins would be higher, and the weight would be a little heavier. If the economy of the dynasty is not good, and the layers are deducted, the coins will have no quality at all, and they will naturally be very light and thin. By the end of the dynasty, when the situation was eroding, the quality of the coins was even worse, and it had reached the point where it was as thin as paper and scrapped as soon as it was broken.

When the common people get such money, they must spend it as soon as possible, and this is the beginning of bad money chasing good money.

This is off-topic, at this time, Fang Yuan looked at the coin in his hand, but was surprised to find that this coin was very heavy, and the area was also larger than ordinary coins. After carefully wiping the plaster off the coin, a subtle golden sheen emerges.

Seeing this luster, Fang Yuan knew that the copper content of the coin was very high, there were no impurities, and it might be pure copper.

Fang Yuan looked at it again and found that the coins were not only of good quality, but also that the words and patterns on the coins were also different from the ordinary ancient currency in circulation. After two glances, he was basically sure that it was spending money.

Strictly speaking, spending money belongs to the nature of commemorative coins, with some special functions, but it does not belong to the currency in circulation. And because the variety of money is so extensive, the market price is certainly not easy to position, and it is no wonder that the owner of the antique shop is reluctant to pay a high price for it.

Unfortunately, there are many mud marks on the coin, and the text and ornamental patterns are not clear.

Fang Yuan thought about it, then took out a towel under the coffee table, and then gently wiped the dirt-stained coins. After a few moments, the coin took on a new look, with a more pronounced golden sheen and more visible sparkle.

At first glance, Fang Yuan was surprised to find that the words on the coin turned out to be seal scripts, and after some identification, he could barely figure out the meaning.

"Pray for heaven and prolong life!" Fang Yuan's eyes blinked, his fingers moved dexterously, and he flipped the coin to the other side. If the text belongs to the obverse of the coin, then on the reverse of the coin is a graphic with a rather meaningful pattern.

The motif has a tortoise, a snake, a chain of seven stars, and two crossed swords.

"Big Dipper Turtle Snake Sword!" Fang Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and then his heart moved, he put the coin on the tip of his thumb, and then flicked it, and the coin immediately rolled quickly in the air.

At this moment, Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening attentively, and as if he was feeling with his heart. As the coin fell in the air, his palm opened and stretched out, and the coin landed firmly in the palm of his hand.

"Smack!"

The coins stick to the meat, and there is a slight sound. Fang Yuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the simple man: "Big brother, this coin of yours is really handed down from your ancestors?" ”

"Of course." The simple man swore an oath, patted his chest and said, "It can't be fake." ”

Fang Yuan stopped talking, and after returning the coin to the simple man, his fingers tapped lightly on the coffee table, as if he was contemplating and thinking about something.

The simple man couldn't hold back, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, how is this thing, is it valuable?" ”

“…… This thing can be called a priceless treasure. Fang Yuan said softly, while the simple man showed a look of ecstasy, the peak of the words suddenly changed: "But it is also worth a penny." ”

"What do you mean?" The simple man's smile froze, his expression was a little annoyed, and he felt that Fang Yuan was teasing him.

"Big brother, don't worry, listen to what I say." Fang Yuan raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and explained slowly: "Big brother, first of all, you have to figure out that this coin in your hand is spending money...... It is also called tired of winning money, or feng shui money. ”

"In ancient times, whether it was emperors and generals, or ordinary people, they all liked to cast some money, or scatter the corners of the house, or wear it for children, or give it as a gift, so as to ask for good luck, hoping to have a good fortune ......"

Fang Yuan said eloquently: "Most of these spending money contain beautiful meanings, have a strong feng shui purpose, represent a kind of hope of the ancients, and must be priceless." However, from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, in more than 2,000 years, there were too many coins that were spent, so much that they could not be counted at all, and the value was naturally not high. ”

"I see." The simple man forced a smile, unable to hide his disappointment.

"Big brother, in fact, this coin is also good, and it has a collection value." Fang Yuan persuaded him: "Keep it well, keep it for yourself to watch and play, it's not bad." ”

"Oh." The simple man nodded, and suddenly took out another thing in his arms: "Brother, take a look at it again, how is this thing?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned, and at a glance, he saw that the simple man took out another coin, but this coin was even more special, it turned out to be the texture of white jade.

At this time, when the light of the shop is illuminated, the jade coin immediately exudes a crystal luster, which is very delicate and beautiful.

"It's ...... Jade Coins! Fang Yuan glanced at it and felt a burst of surprise.

"Brother, you can help me take a good look." The simple man handed over the jade coin and said shyly: "Is this thing really made of jade?" If it is really made of jade, isn't the coin copper, how can there be jade? ”

"Well, I'll take a look first." Fang Yuan took the jade coin and looked at it carefully, and found that the shape of the jade coin was exactly the same as that of the ancient copper coin, all of which were round, with a square hole in the middle, symbolizing the round sky and the place.

Studying the material of the coin again, it turned out to be jade, carved from a single piece of jade. However, it may be that because it has been buried underground for a long time, one side of the mud has penetrated into the interior of the jade coin, which has affected the appearance of some things. But on the other hand, these muds can also be regarded as evidence to judge the age of jade coins.

On the front and back of the jade coin, there is also text. The text is a dignified and beautiful small block, and Fang Yuan can recognize it lightly.

"Yongzheng Tongbao, the world is peaceful!" Fang Yuan pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Big brother, this thing should be palace money. ”

"Palace money?" The simple man was stunned: "What is the palace money?" ”

"Palace money is a kind of spending money." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "However, since the palace money is specially minted by the emperor, it is used for auspicious celebrations, evil spirits, entertainment, and wearing, and it is generally only used in the palace, or rewarded to ministers, and rarely goes to the ...... of the people" (to be continued......
