Chapter 3 Three Identification of Ancient Money
Luo Wen took out six square hole copper coins, the copper coins are only 3 cm in diameter, and the front is engraved with the words "Apocalypse Tongbao", because they have been cleaned, so the fonts are very clear, but there are two of them with heavy emerald green, one is slightly warped, the surface is mottled, and it feels old.
Luo Wen placed the six copper coins on the table, and said with a light smile: "To distinguish the ancient coins, we must distinguish from the color, shape, money and other elements of the ancient coins, among the six copper coins, only one is real, you can find it out." ”
The three students hurriedly flipped through their notes and compared them, because there was a projector, and the other students in all the classrooms could also see the copper coins dropped on the blackboard from a distance.
Everyone whispered and discussed in a whisper, but they saw that these copper coins, according to the careful identification written in the notes, could also pick out two obvious fake coins, but it was obviously difficult to distinguish the remaining ones for a while.
Those who listened carefully were so anxious, Zhao Zhuo didn't have a clue, but he listened to Mo Ling tilting his head on the side and wondering: "Big brother, only the one on the far right is real, why can't they tell it?" ”
"Hey, Mo Ling, do you know ancient money?" Zhao Zhuoqi said.
Mo Ling nodded his little head obediently and said: "Since I can remember, this piece of ink jade has been collected by many people, some are big officials and some are big businessmen, they all like to collect antiques, and they like to put ink jade on the desk to appreciate." I have nothing to do in a free day, just watch them appreciate things, these hundreds of years, what ancient money, calligraphy and painting, jade and porcelain, I also know a little. ”
Zhao Zhuo was secretly surprised when he heard this, although Mo Ling looked like she was just a little girl, she didn't expect that she was already hundreds of years old, and how rich the appreciation knowledge she had learned from humans over the past few hundred years should be? It's no wonder that you can tell the real from the fake at a glance.
Just thinking like this, he heard Luo Wen say to him: "This classmate, I see that you haven't taken notes all this time, and you are dozing off, you should be quite accomplished in the identification of ancient coins, right?" ”
Saying this, everyone's eyes were staring at Zhao Zhuo, and everyone could hear the displeasure in Professor Luo's tone, and then look at Zhao Zhuo, he looks ordinary, and his clothes are all cheap, can such a person still have attainments in antiques? The irony in these words could not be more obvious.
Zhao Zhuo came back to his senses, and then he realized that he was picked out by Professor Luo for a reason, and he said apologetically: "Professor Luo, I didn't mean to take notes, because ......"
Luo Wen waved his hand and said solemnly: "You don't need to explain, my class is very simple, as long as you have the ability, don't say that you don't take notes, even if you sleep here, I will still give you credits." However, if you don't have the ability, don't know anything about forensics, and don't even take notes, then you don't have to come to the next class! ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the table: "Say, which of these six is real, can you tell which of the six?" ”
Everyone else in the class whispered quietly, no one was optimistic about Zhao Zhuo, after all, no one who took notes seriously could tell the truth, how could he be able to distinguish the authenticity if he dozed off?
Zhao Zhuo secretly complained that he would not come to the next class, which meant that he would not be able to get the credits for this elective course. He didn't want to lose a credit because of this matter, so he whispered to Mo Ling and asked, "Sister Mo Ling, are you sure that one is real?" ”
"Yes, obviously." Mo Ling nodded firmly.
Zhao Zhuo turned his heart sideways, pointed to the rightmost one and said, "This one is real." ”
When everyone saw that he had not looked at the copper coins closely, and that he had not picked them up to distinguish them, they all laughed as if he had just said the answer so casually.
However, Professor Luo's brows furrowed slightly, because the one Zhao Zhuo was referring to was indeed the only genuine one among the six.
As soon as he saw Luo Wen's expression, Zhao Zhuo knew that the answer was correct, he was overjoyed, and quietly gave Mo Ling a thumbs up, this girl's ability is really not blowing.
When everyone saw that Luo Wen didn't speak, they all understood, and secretly said that this was the same as **, and it was right to be so casually blinded.
However, Luo Wen did not stop there, but took out six copper coins from the wooden box, and after placing them neatly, he said: "Of these six, only one is true, you can find it for me again." ”
Seeing Professor Luo say this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help frowning, Professor Luo was too aggressive, he guessed it, and he actually had to embarrass himself.
However, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, who calls himself Moling?
The students in the classroom looked at it intently, and saw that these six copper coins were smaller than the six Apocalypse Tongbao just now, and the words "Chongzhen Tongbao" were written on them.
Just now Professor Luo said, the Ming Dynasty's coinage from the Ming Taizu to the Longqing period is very limited, until the Ming Dynasty Wanli began to mint a large number of coins, until the Chongzhen period of coins minting lineage, the money system is complex, so Chongzhen Tongbao is the Ming Dynasty version of the most miscellaneous, the most varieties of currency, not only the color of copper coins, there are yellow, red, white, etc., even the same penny, even the size is different.
To distinguish who is real and who is fake from these six vicissitudes of ancient copper coins is definitely something that only experienced experts can do, and for the students present, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to identify, but for Mo Ling, it is pediatric, she only glanced at it, and told Zhao Zhuo which one was genuine.
So, just when everyone was staring at each other and couldn't see what was going on, Zhao Zhuo casually pointed to one of them and said, "This one is genuine." ”
This time, everyone's eyes looked at Professor Luo in unison, only to see Professor Luo's brows furrowed even deeper, without saying a word, he took out twelve copper coins from the wooden box, and said in a deep voice: "Among these twelve, only one is true, you pick and choose." ”
Professor Luo's move undoubtedly revealed obvious information, and Zhao Zhuo was right for the second time.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, this classmate who didn't look amazing actually had such extraordinary eyesight!
Even if the first time was luck and the second time was a coincidence, he barely looked at the copper coins closely, let alone touched them, but just looked at them twice, and pointed them out without hesitation, as if the authenticity of the copper coins was written on them.
No one expected Zhao Zhuo to have this hand, and everyone had the same idea, to know whether Zhao Zhuo won these two by luck, or whether he really had the strength, it depended on the third division.
It's just that when everyone saw the words on the copper coins, they gasped one by one, and the twelve copper coins seemed to be cast from a mold, no matter the money, shape, size and even color were almost the same.
The front of the copper coin is "Hongguang Tongbao" four official books, the back is cast with the word "two", everyone flipped through the notes only to find that this kind of copper coin is the copper coin cast by King Nanming Fu when he inherited the throne, the genuine product is very rare, so a small one can be sold for thousands of yuan.
Don't say that I have never heard of such a copper coin, and the odds of trying to guess which one is genuine are by luck are too low.
Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Zhuo's body, only to see Zhao Zhuo slowly sweep over the twelve copper coins, and pointed to the penultimate one on the right and said, "This one should be real." ”
As soon as these words fell, Professor Luo's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the serious expression on his face was like melting ice and snow, replaced by a look of surprise and shock.
You must know that the identification of copper coins requires a small word, looking at the overall situation, looking at the details, even if you are a senior player, you have to think carefully to prevent you from looking away.
These 11 counterfeit coins are made by the recasting method, the so-called recasting method, which is based on the original real money as a model, and the cast copper water is mostly made of ancient copper coins and copper mirrors, so the copper cast is still bronze, coupled with the superb technology of the craftsman casting process, it almost reaches the point of being fake.
Even if he is an old player who has studied ancient money for more than 30 years, he has to pick it up and distinguish them one by one, but the young man in front of him looks inconspicuous, but his eyes can definitely be described as vicious. Such an understatement, without any thought, distinguishing the truth from the false, such a realm, is simply divine.
A young man with such a foundation, it's the first time I've seen it in my life, with such eyesight, where do I need to take any notes, I'm afraid that my professor, I'm going to have an axe in front of him.
Thinking of this, Professor Luo was immediately relieved of his disrespectful behavior, and a somewhat appreciative smile appeared on his face, and he said kindly: "What is your name, which department?" ”
Seeing Professor Luo change from shock to such a kind smile, there was a sudden sensation in the classroom, all the people were envious and jealous, the identification of antiques has always given people the feeling that it is the technology that can get rich overnight, with such superb eyesight, if you want money, you just need to go to the ancient money market and walk around, thinking about it, who else dares to despise Zhao Zhuo? Even his cheap clothes were golden.
In the face of everyone's eyes and Professor Luo's harsh attitude, Zhao Zhuo was secretly lucky, if Mo Ling was not there, then he would be a big ugly.
Hearing that Zhao Zhuo was a student in the Department of History, Professor Luo nodded with great satisfaction, asked him what grade he was in, and finally looked at him seriously before announcing the end of class.
Walking out of the classroom, Zhao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully to Mo Ling: "Sister Mo Ling, if it wasn't for your guidance just now, I would be in trouble with this credit." ”
"Big brother is too polite, you release Ling'er from the ink jade, so that I can fly freely in this world, Ling'er is willing to do anything for you." Mo Lingwan Road.
Zhao Zhuo was moved when he heard this, and he really wanted to reach out and touch her little head, but a thought suddenly rose in his heart, since Mo Ling has such a powerful talent in appreciation, if he goes to the ancient money market, he may make some money. I don't dare to expect more, and it would be good to be able to earn a month or two of living expenses.
