Chapter 446: A Shocking Leak

Li Yi had also come into contact with bronze coins before, but most of them were relatively ordinary goods, and he found that no matter how old they were, there seemed to be no cool air in them.

But this time it was different, I don't know if it was because there were a lot of copper coins, or because there was a real treasure hidden in it, anyway, this time he felt a very thin, but cold enough cool air.

But no matter what the reason, since there is coolness, it must be checked one by one.

I took a closer look at the small pile of copper coins in front of me, there were about one or two hundred pieces, and the color was divided into blue, black, and yellow according to the different degrees of oxidation.

Li Yi first picked up two yellow copper coins and looked at them, and found that one was Daoguang Tongbao back "Baodong", and the other was Kangxi Tongbao back "Baoning", although Li Yi didn't know how much they were worth, but just because there were no two of these in the treasured ancient money in his memory, it was enough to judge that this was not the target he was looking for.

After looking at more than a dozen pieces in a row, Li Yi found that the pile of copper coins was too messy, not only did they have them from various dynasties, but also the value ranged from a few yuan to a few hundred yuan.

He shook his head, no matter what the heap was divided on, there was definitely something he needed here anyway.

After looking at more than 20 pieces, Li Yi suddenly stared at him and found it!

This is a yellow wide-edged Kangxi Tongbao, about three centimeters in diameter, and the back is a Manchu character for "Bao" and a Chinese character for "Fu". The surface of the copper coin should be polished, so that the sandpaper texture can be seen.

Emperor Kangxi reigned for 61 years. In particular, after the withdrawal of the three feudatories, the political environment was stable and the economy developed by leaps and bounds. The whole society was very prosperous, so the coins of the Kangxi Dynasty were very beautifully minted.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, there were 24 coinage bureaus, and the style of copper coins was different according to the size, provenance, and memorization, and there were almost hundreds of varieties, among which there were of course many treasures.

At present, there are almost three or four of the most precious Kangxi Tongbao on the market, and the price of each is basically more than 15,000 yuan. The one Li Yi is holding in his hand now is one of them, called Kangxi Tongbao sleeve "Fu" for two dollars, and the price is more than 20,000 yuan!

"Boss. How do you sell this copper coin? ”

The boss, a thin middle-aged man, glanced up when he heard this, and said:

"Your pile, it's all 500 a piece."

Five hundred? Li Yi was a little stunned. What do you mean. You only offered five hundred for such an obvious set, are you stupid to do business?

But it doesn't matter if he's stupid or not, anyway, the cheap is in front of him, and he doesn't take advantage of it.

Just as he was about to pay for it, he suddenly moved in his heart and opened the spirit identification card. Then I couldn't help but lean lightly, and instantly understood the boss's way of management, this Nima dared to deliberately disrupt the pile. What is caught is the psychology of those Tibetan friends who pick up leaks and take advantage!

Why do you think so? Because of this copper coin that Li Yi almost believed to be real, the conclusion given by the spirit card was that it was almost imitation and old!

Shake your head. Throwing the copper coin back into the pile, he was about to continue looking for it, when suddenly Tan Moxuan gently touched him with his elbow and handed him a copper coin.

This copper coin is very different from the Kangxi Tongbao that Li Yi just saw, not only the color is iron black, only those few words can see a little yellow, but also a narrow square hole.

"Taihe Tongbao Seal Book Fold Ten Folds Back Money?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Boss, how much is this?"

"The pile over there? That pile is 3000. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled and returned the copper coin to Tan Moxuan.

Taihe Tongbao is a coin of the Jin Dynasty, and there are not many surviving quantities, but the selling price of the general quality in the outside market is only about 3,300 yuan.

Although the quality of this piece selected by Tan Moxuan is slightly better, Li Yi estimates that it is worth about 3,500 yuan at most, which is still the retail price, if you start with 3,000 yuan, there is almost no cheap to take advantage of, it depends on whether Tan Moxuan is interested in collecting it himself.

"Rub, I thought this one was 500 ......"

Tan Moxuan threw the copper coin back to the pile and shook his head,

"You watch first, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Li Yi nodded, continued to look in the pile of copper coins, and after a while, picked up another Kaiyuan Tongbao.

This narrow-sided Lishu Kaiyuan Tongbao is in average condition, blue-black, with no words on the flat back, and it doesn't look much different from those ordinary Kaiyuan Tongbao, but Li Yi knows that this time he should have found the real treasure, because this Kaiyuan Tongbao is a little heavier than other copper coins.

Copper coins are generally year money, so many people think that Kaiyuan Tongbao is also year money, because Tang Xuanzong Li Longji has an era name that is Kaiyuan. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, because Kaiyuan Tongbao has begun to be minted in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and its casting history runs through the entire Tang Dynasty, which is a kind of non-year money.

Moreover, the coinage material of Kaiyuan Tongbao is not only copper, the Tang Dynasty also cast gold, silver, tortoiseshell, iron, lead and other materials of Kaiyuan Tongbao. Among them, gold and silver precious metal coins are limited to royal rewards for dignitaries to enjoy, and are not put into circulation, so the number of surviving is very small, especially the gold Kaiyuan, which is even more precious.

What Li Yi is holding in his hand now is a gold Kaiyuan Tongbao, because it is cast by imitation copper Kaiyuan Tongbao, coupled with the age, the gold on the surface is almost exactly the same as copper after oxidation, so if it is mixed with other copper coins, it is not easy to identify in addition to the weight perception.

Because of the size, thickness, style, and wear of various copper coins, many people are not particularly sensitive to the weight of copper coins, especially like this kind of copper coins of various dynasties and different qualities mixed together, that is, Li Yi has a clear goal, otherwise, it is easy for ordinary people to ignore the weight of copper coins.

In addition, this kind of gold Kaiyuan Tongbao is very rare in the world, and ordinary people rarely think in that direction even if they see it, so this time Li Yi picked up a bargain.

500 yuan to buy a gold Kaiyuan worth at least 8 or 90,000 yuan, this leak is really small for Li Yi, but in the ancient coin collection, this is a big leak that is shocking enough!

After confirming the price, Li Yi directly took out five hundred oceans from his wallet and handed it to the boss, and then put the gold treasure into his wallet.

After inspecting several other piles of copper coins one by one with the spirit identification card, he didn't find any treasures worth selling, Li Yi was not disappointed, and left the stall and walked down.

The stall next to it was a stall specializing in ancient silverware, and in terms of style, most of them were some Western ancient silverware, and Li Yi couldn't help but stop with interest.

The first thing he picked up was a delicate high-relief openwork fruit bowl.

This fruit plate, with a candlestick-like base, the upper part of the plate is like a blooming flower, the style is very beautiful, and the entire silver surface is silvery white and shiny, it looks like it should be a new product.

After a brief look, Li Yi soon found the seal engraving of the British sterling silver signature "Walking Lion" and Sheffield's exclusive logo "Crown" on the base of the fruit plate, and the age mark of the fruit plate is 1901, which is more than a hundred years ago!

A silver fruit bowl in brand new condition from 100 years ago? If it's genuine, it's a bit rare.

Li Yi looked at it carefully for a while, and found that he couldn't tell the truth at all, so he directly opened the spirit identification card.

A faint, almost undetectable cool air flowed through, and the Jianling brand identified the fruit bowl as genuine.

Putting the fruit bowl aside, Li Yi was going to pick two more pieces to ask for the price, and if the price was right, he would buy it and take it to the Bordeaux decoration house to the house.

Soon, he fell in love with a three-piece set of sterling silver tea sets.

Although the three-piece set looks almost brand new, it has an ancient shape, and the fine scales created by the hammering process are evenly sized, carefully arranged and tightly arranged, and the delicate high-relief craftsmanship makes it look like it was made by a famous artist.

Although the patterns of these three sets are different, they are similar, depicting the magpie standing on the plum treetops, which means "happy eyebrows".

This pattern is very common, and the shape of the previous dynasties is also similar, so it can not be used as a basis for breaking the dynasty, if you want to determine the age of the tea set, you can only start from the style and style of the tea set.

The style left on the tea set is "Tu Qingyun", Li Yi has an impression of this name, and knows that it is a famous silverware in the late Qing Dynasty, and on the Internet, whether it is true or not, many silverware are crowned with Tu Qingyun.

After studying it for a while, he found that there was no way to get this one with real skills, so he couldn't help shaking his head and activated the spirit identification card.

A trace of cool air that was slightly thicker than the fruit plate just now was inhaled into his body, and the spirit card also gave an appraisal conclusion,

Qing Guangxu Jiujiang Tu Qingyun relief happy eyebrows Seiko hammered sterling silver tea set three-piece set, genuine

Nodding, he walked around the stall again, and after finding that there were no noteworthy silverware, Li Yi pointed to the two pieces of silverware and asked about the price.

"Sheffield fruit plate is 18,000 yuan, Tu Qingyun tea set is 58,000 yuan."

This price is not much different from Li Yi's judgment, so he just said a few words, and finally at a price of 68,000, he pocketed two pieces of ancient silverware in brand new condition.

was about to look down, when suddenly a middle-aged man next to him beckoned to him,

"I also brought a few pieces of silverware, the things are better than his, and the price is cheaper than his, are you interested in going over and having a look?"

Li Yi glanced at the man and saw that he didn't seem to be a liar, so he nodded and followed him to the shelves that he had just seen for Tibetan friends who participated in the black market.

"This one, look at this one."

The middle-aged man picked up an antique tiger's head, three lion feet, amphorae, and sterling silver incense burner and handed it to Li Yi.

"This is a gift from the puppet Manchu traitor Jiang Hongtao to the Japanese major general Fujimori Yuzaburo, there is a letter with a letter, and the collection value is very high!" (To be continued.) )
