From Belinda's hand, he took the stamp album, and Jin Muchen began to look at it carefully.

Sure enough, Belinda said this, and he really noticed the difference in this stamp.

In these stamps, the swan is upright, but the words Western Australia and a penny stamp are printed on the border above and below the swan, which are indeed printed upside down.

The Western Australian lettering, which was supposed to be on top of the swan's head, now appears at the swan's feet, and the penny stamp appears on the swan's head, and the font is upside down.

This is the first time Jin Muchen has discovered the flaws of this stamp, and he felt that something was wrong with this stamp before, but he was not an expert in this area.

The second reason was that it was a special environment like a ghost market at the time, although his eyesight was indeed very good, and the lack of light was not enough to be a problem that bothered him, but he was not an expert in stamps after all.

So he didn't see these subtle differences at the time, and he had already seen so many identical stamps before, and he was a little mentally tired, so he didn't have time to look closely.

It was precisely because of these multiple factors that he did not find such a mistake and omission in the first place when he got the stamp.

Fortunately, I met Belinda again, a philatelic enthusiast, or else he would have missed the swan stamp.

Originally, the jewels on this Blue Swan stamp were not very sufficient, and he originally planned to find someone to authenticate it after returning to the United States. Just shoot it.

If it weren't for the fact that Belinda pointed out the difference between these stamps. I'm afraid these few inverted swans. He turned around and gave his hand like a horse.

"Wow, the inverted swan, it looks like this, it's true, but in fact, the typographical error should not be the swan, but these words!"

He sighed, and Belinda on the other side smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's not the swans that made the typographical error. It's these words. ”

"Shouldn't such stamps be valuable?"

Jin Muchen put down the stamp in his hand with a little excitement and asked Bei Linda.

Belinda also said before that such an inverted swan stamp has a great reputation in the circle of philatelic enthusiasts, and before his eight inverted swan stamps, a total of fifteen such inverted swan stamps have been found in the world.

With such a small amount, it must be precious, right?

"Well, this. It's hard to say, it depends on the wishes of the enthusiasts. After all, this is an Australian-issued stamp. It is not a British or American stamp, so although there are few surviving stamps, there are many estimates of its value. Because of this kind of stamp, it has not been officially auctioned for about 30 years. It was last seen at auction in 1983 at an auction in New York, where it sold for $30,000. More than 30 years have passed now, and it's hard to say how much it's worth. ”

The data that Belinda came from her mouth made Jin Muchen realize that she was not only an expert in ancient coins, but also an expert in stamps.

No wonder the jewels on this stamp are so light, it turns out that the last time it was auctioned was more than 30 years ago, so his current value is really a lot.

More than 30 years ago, it could be worth more than 30,000 yuan, 40,000 US dollars, and now more than 30 years have passed, taking into account inflation, and in recent years, the world's currency over-issuance, as well as the increase in people's demand for collections and other factors, the current market price of this stamp, and then several times upward, should not be a problem.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Muchen's heart couldn't help but feel dark.

However, he still felt that this should not be the bottom line of this philatelic album, after all, when he first discovered this philatelic album, it was because of his casual glances, the strong black light emitted by this philatelic album pressed under the cardboard box.

And the dazzling black light does not match the faint blue light emitted on the inverted swan stamp.

In this stamp album, there must be a mystery.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen looked at the stamp album in his hand, and began to shake it vigorously, and then began to flip through the stamp album forward.

Belinda's eyes widened when she saw him doing this: "Hey, Kim, what are you doing here?" These stamps, although many of them are not the most precious kind, but after all, they have a history of hundreds of years, such stamps, but very fragile, you shake like this, be careful......"

"I don't know why, I always think there's something else in this album......"

As he spoke, a yellow light suddenly flashed, and it turned out to be a yellow brown paper envelope, which fell out of the mezzanine of the philatelic album.

Jin Muchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the envelope, which was sandwiched between the two pages in the middle of the philatelic album, and he could see it clearly.

I don't know what era this stamp album was produced, the covers on both sides are hard paper shells, and the middle is the kind of paper, it seems that the era of the production of this stamp album has not yet been born of plastic.

And those stamps are stuck on each page, these papers are very hard, thick cardboard paper, the nature is a bit similar to the raw material paper of postcard cards.

Because there are a lot of small notches cut in the paper to hold those stamps in place, there are a lot of cardboard papers in the middle that are glued together in pairs, so that there is a hollow part in the middle.

It turned out that Jin Muchen understood that the person who made this philatelic album did this to protect those stamps and not let too many stamps be stuck on a piece of paper, but he didn't expect that these hollow parts actually had another mystery, and there were more precious things hidden in the middle.

At this time, Belinda looked at the yellow envelope that fell out of the middle of the stamp album and stopped talking, Jin Muchen picked up the envelope, the envelope was made of yellow brown paper.

However, the color is a little dark, it looks very old, and the brown paper envelope is very thin and brittle, so it is no wonder that the original owner of this stamp album would have hidden it.

He carefully opened the envelope in front of Belinda, and a piece of paper fell out of it.

He picked up the piece of paper, only to find that it was actually a Bafang stamp, with a blue background, but the printing technology didn't seem to be very good, because there were many stamp patterns, and the head had been printed through, as if it was because of too much ink.

Anyway, from the back of these stamps, you can see the statue of the queen on the front of the stamp.

Most of the stamps had the same motifs on them, like the Australian stamps he had seen before, with a bust of Queen Victoria printed on the front.

However, the price is twopence, and in the middle of the stamp, there is a cross-shaped postmark, because of the age, the date in the middle of this postmark seems to be a little unclear.

However, this postmark feels very strange to Jin Muchen, as if it is a bit like the ankh of the Nazis in later generations.

He stared at the stamp blankly, not knowing what to think, because the strong jewels that flashed on this stamp dazzled him a little.

It turns out that the black light I saw from this stamp album before was a stamp from this Bafang Company?

But why did he flash the black light? Jin Muchen was puzzled.

But he couldn't figure it out to himself, it didn't matter, wasn't there an expert in philately sitting opposite?

He raised his head with a smile, and just wanted to hand the stamp in his hand to Belinda, but at this time he saw Belinda surprised him.

At this time, Belinda was covering her mouth, looking at the stamp in his hand, her eyes were wide, and her face was full of surprise!

What's wrong with her? The impression she gave Jin Muchen before was quite elegant, except for the first time when she saw the box she took out, she had never lost her temper like now.

"Hey! Belinda! ”

He shouted softly, Belinda's body was for a while, she put down her hand, her face flushed, and she snatched the stamp in his hand without waiting for Jin Muchen to react.

"O my God! What did I look at? Wow...... Gold...... You're the luckiest bastard I've ever met......"

Belinda glanced at the stamp in her hand, and then looked up at Jin Muchen again, her eyes were red, her face was even more red with excitement, and she even said a dirty word.

However, this swear word does not mean to scold, it is just to express her admiration for Jin Muchen's luck, and it also means that her relationship with Jin Muchen is one step closer.

"Uh...... All right...... I'll admit that my luck is a little bit better than the others, but Belinda, can we put this aside and talk about the Bafang stamp in front of us, can you tell me what it is? ”

Jin Muchen really doesn't know much about stamps, and most of the stamps issued by the British in the early years, as well as the stamps issued by their colonies, are a virtue, and the busts of Queen Victoria are printed on them.

It was really hard for him to discern the difference between the stamps, and the Bafang Company in front of him was obviously very valuable, and he wanted to understand how this stamp was different from other stamps with the bust of Queen Victoria.

"Wow, this is the legendary blue penny, a blue penny that is more precious than a black penny, you don't even know this?"

Belinda glanced at Jin Muchen, looked at him with disgust and said, Jin Muchen scratched his head, what black penny, blue penny, I really don't know!

When you say black penny, I've heard people talk about it, but blue penny? What the hell is this?

More precious than a black penny? Wouldn't that be worth a lot of money?

The thoughts in Jin Muchen's mind, if Belinda knew about it, I am afraid that he would spit on him immediately. (To be continued......)
