***************

There were also fewer tourists and pedestrians in the market, and many people had taken refuge in the shade of the trees on the side of the park, most of them holding snacks bought from food stalls in their hands, where to enjoy lunch.

Even those small vendors were mostly listless at this time.

The stomach is also full, it is time to find something serious to do, Jin Muchen looked ahead, there was still about half a mile, and he could cross the entire Hester Street, he decided to simply take advantage of the fact that there were not many people at this time and finish this street.

If you still don't find anything you like after walking, you will immediately retreat and not waste time here.

The previous bazaar didn't give him a very good feeling, most of the customers here are too grassroots, too low-end, and most of the goods here are second-hand goods that Americans define as antiques.

There are no Chinese antiques as he imagined, so he doesn't really want to waste too much time here.

Candace didn't object to his suggestion, mainly because he had just eaten too much, and his stomach was a little stretched at this time, and he wanted to take two more steps to digest and digest the food.

So the two became one of the few tourists who went shopping under the sun.

Along the way, although Jin Muchen is a casual observer, but with his eyesight, he can also see clearly, many stalls, as long as you glance at it, you can detect that there is nothing worth his attention, so this way is very fast.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the end of Hester Street, and he couldn't see anything he liked, Jin Muchen was a little regretful, and so was Candace, who originally thought that taking him on a trip would be worth the trip, but he didn't think of anything that was in his eyes at all.

Just as he was about to walk out from the end of the street, a stall selling silverware made Jin Muchen stunned, and the emission light of those bright silverware in the sun was particularly dazzling, but Jin Muchen just swept it casually, but saw a flash of green gas from those dazzling lights.

This strange situation is exactly the same as when he saw the Yongzheng pastel bowl at that black buddy's house that day, but this time the color of this qi turned blue-green, Jin Muchen stopped, turned around and walked towards the stall.

Candace saw that Jin Muchen seemed to have finally found something that interested him, and she was also interested, she wanted to see what piqued this guy's interest.

The owner of the stall is an Indian with a strong accent, and the stall mainly buys silverware, most of which have a very strong Indian style.

However, Jin Muchen was not interested in those spoons, knives and forks, and coffee pots or something, he was interested in a set of silver coins thrown on the side of the lower left corner of the stall, and the turquoise breath was reflected from this set of silver coins.

The Indian stall owner with a strong accent, while introducing the products on his stall, looked at Jin Muchen carefully, as well as the beautiful girl next to him, and from time to time when Candace couldn't see it, he gave Jin Muchen a thumbs up and winked at him, which definitely meant to say: Hey! Dude, your vision is absolutely superb.

However, the Indian stall owner's vision is definitely not bad, seeing that he has been introduced for a long time, Jin Muchen is absent-minded, and when he looks at Jin Muchen's sight, he immediately understands, picks up the set of silver coins and hands it over to Jin Muchen.

"Friend, if you like it, take a good look, this is a 100-year-old Chinese silver coin, a very famous Yuan Datou!"

Hearing the three words Yuan Datou pop out of the stall owner's mouth with a thick accent, Jin Muchen suddenly had a feeling of crying and laughing.

I didn't expect to be able to see Yuan Datou in the United States!

And I saw it from the hands of an Indian, Jin Muchen, who was already a little disappointed with Hester Street, really didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time.

But no matter how it feels, this set of Yuan Datou is always right, and it looks like the preserved condition is very good.

Candace didn't know much about silver coins, and she wasn't interested in them, but those beautifully made tableware and silver plates, coffee pots and so on attracted her more, but she just glanced at the silver coins in Jin Muchen's hand, and then turned her attention to other exquisite silverware.

Jin Muchen was also happy and quiet, his grandfather used to play collecting, so when he was a child, there were many such Yuan Datou in the family, and Yuan Datou was not worth much at that time.

I remember when I was a child, that is, in the early nineties, people often took Yuan Datou to his grandfather to ask for acquisition, and those Yuan Datou were all authentic old versions, and there were no fakes.

He remembered very well that at that time, Yuan Datou had not been regarded as an antique, and at that time, people regarded Yuan Datou more as a silver coin, and there were even many young people, in order to pursue popularity, they would take Yuan Datou to the master in the gold and silver shop on the street to melt Yuan Datou, and then make it into a ring.

At that time, the price at which the grandfather purchased Yuan Datou, if I remember correctly, seemed to range from ten to thirty yuan, and it should be distinguished according to Yuan Datou's condition.

If it is in good condition, then it will be more expensive, and the price will vary from twenty to thirty, and if it is not in good condition, it will simply be given ten or eight yuan.

And ten years later, after the rise of the domestic trend of playing antiques, the price of Yuan Datou soared in the antique market, and the good quality could even be bought seven or eight hundred, and the highest time even exceeded a thousand.

However, in recent years, it seems that with the price fluctuations in the silver market, the price of Yuan Datou has decreased a lot.

The condition of this set of Yuan Datou looks quite good, and the most important thing is that this set of Yuan Datou is quite intact, and what surprised Jin Muchen the most was that this was actually a complete set of Yuan Datou suit for the third year of the Republic of China.

The top is two Yuan Datou one-yuan versions placed on the front and back, and the bottom is two Zhongyuan versions placed on the front and back, and the two corners placed on the front and back are placed on the bottom two, then a corner, and finally five points.

This set of Yuan Datou suits can be regarded as an eye-opener for Jin Muchen, because the Yuan Datou he has seen before is a one-yuan version, and the Zhongyuan is also a five-cornered one-corner, as well as those two-cornered, one-cornered, and five-point Yuan Datou, he has seen it for the first time.

Look at the year written on this set of Yuan Datou, it actually says three years of the Republic of China.

When he saw this vintage, Jin Muchen couldn't help but suddenly feel his heart skip a beat, remembering that when he was playing with Yuan Datou, which was collected by his grandfather, his grandfather told him some of the past about Yuan Datou.

When Grandpa collected Yuan Datou, Jin Muchen was still young, and he often liked to play with those Yuan Datou as coins, and many of the Yuan Datou that Grandpa collected were high-quality products, with a very high silver content.

When you blow the side of your mouth, you will hear a very crisp and pleasant buzzing sound, so at that time he often played with his grandfather's silver coins.

At that time, grandpa deliberately took those Yuan Datou and taught him what this thing was, what was the use of this thing, what was the difference between this thing, how to identify it, and so on.

He still remembers that his grandfather mentioned at that time that there is one in Yuan Datou that will definitely be a fine product that collectors will chase in the future, and that one happens to be a signed version of Yuan Datou in the third year of the Republic of China.

It turned out that in April 1912, Yuan Shikai served as the provisional president of the Republic of China, and in order to improve his prestige, he specially invited a coinage designer from Italy, Ruhrzhi. George came over to help design a new silver coin.

That is, the famous Yuan Datou later, and in the third year of the Republic of China, the trial production began in the Tianjin Mint, and before mass production, the Italian designer engraved the English abbreviation of his name L.G on the right side of Yuan Datou's picture.

And such a Yuan Datou, among the Yuan Datou circulating in the market, can be said to be one in ten thousand.

Until today, when Yuan Datou has changed from the original currency to the era of antiques, the price of an average Yuan Datou has been speculated, seven or eight hundred yuan, and the price of good quality is three or five thousand.

And the price of a signed version of Yuan Datou printed with the English abbreviation L.G has now been hyped to more than 30,000 pieces.

Of course, Jin Muchen doesn't know about the market of Yuan Datou now, but he just knows that today he has met the fine product of Yuan Datou that his grandfather said.

And it's actually a complete set, and this whole set of Yuan Datou is actually all signed versions.

At this time, he already understood why he was so far away that he could see the blue-green aura flashing on this silverware stall, and his feelings were the treasures emanating from this set of treasures.

The Indian stall owner, seeing Jin Muchen holding the Yuan Datou suit and watching it carefully over and over again, knew that this guy was very likely to become the buyer of this set of silver coins, because only real buyers would look so carefully.

This vendor has been setting up a stall here for a morning, but it hasn't opened yet, and he urgently needs this business to open for himself, so at this time, he is cleverly explaining the origin of this set of silver coins to Jin Muchen.

"This set of Chinese silver coins is still a treasure left by my grandfather, when he was still a patrol in the Shanghai concession, this set of silver coins, it was left by my grandfather at that time, and it has been in my house for decades, today I see that you like him, I can agree to transfer him to you......"

Another Indian version of the heirloom story, such a story, in the Chinese antique market, almost every day, but I didn't expect it to be the same in the United States.

Such a story is generally not very credible, but it doesn't matter how the specific set of signed versions of Yuan Datou came about, the important thing is that this set of Yuan Datou is true.

Jin Muchen checked it several times, until he finally determined that this set of Yuan Datou was indeed the signed version of the Republic of China for three years, so he looked up and asked the stall owner to arrive
