Chapter 431 Colorful Garlic Bottle (I)

"'Ghost face money'?" Bai Wenchao was surprised, "What is 'ghost face money'?" Forgive me for being so ignorant, I haven't even heard of it before. ”

Zhu Yeqing was also curious: "Yes, I haven't heard of it, this is the first time I've heard you talk about it, but it's quite vivid, the character of the coin and the carvings on it are very weird, like a very ugly face, it is appropriate to describe it with a grimace." ”

Yi Yang replied: "Ghost face money is also called 'ghost face money', and its real name is 'ant nose money', which is the copper coin of Chu during the Warring States Period. ”

"It turned out to be antnose money." Bai Wenchao said suddenly, "I have heard of this kind of ancient coin, it is said that it is more common on the market, and the price is not high, but I haven't studied it much, so I don't know about it." ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "Who said the price is not high?" The price is not high, that is because most of the products on the market are fakes, which are imitated by future generations, most of the real ghost face money is unearthed cultural relics, things are placed in the museum, no matter how much money you estimate, you can't buy it, the number of coins handed down is extremely limited, and most of them are very ordinary kinds, there is nothing special, only this one is rare, the value is incalculable. ”

"Yes, I don't know the specifics, I've just heard about it." Bai Wenchao nodded in agreement.

"Yi Yang, what is the main difference between different ant nose money?" Zhu Yeqing asked curiously.

Yi Yang replied: "The main thing is to look at the size and the text pattern on the coin, with different inscriptions, and the value is different. We can generally see the ghost face money, the main Yin on the surface of the coin is disorder, incantation, An, Jun, Xin, Jin, Xing, and so on. According to the rare Cheng dù of various varieties of ant nose money, the current market price is also different, with the word "Jun" is more ordinary, with the word "gold" and "Xin" in general, and with the value of the word "line" is relatively high, this is a transaction record can be queried, some of them with special inscriptions are quite precious, not comparable, such as this ghost face money in my hand, the inscription pattern on it is extremely special, can not be measured by money, because this is the only one in the world, is a unique product! ”

"Lonely ghost face money?" Bai Wenchao looked at the small ant-nose coin carefully, and said suspiciously, "Brother Yi Yang, I don't see anything special about your ghost-faced coin?" ”

"That's because you didn't look closely." Yi Yang carefully placed the high bronze coin in the center of the table, and said solemnly, "Now you take a good look and see what inscription is engraved on the surface of this coin." ”

"What inscription?" Bai Wenchao looked left and right, and couldn't recognize what the inscription was.

Zhu Yeqing also looked at it with a blank face, and couldn't see any of them.

Yi Yang pointed to the ancient coin and said, "Does it look like a word?" ”

"Which word?" Bai Wenchao immediately asked.

Yi Yang said: "The emperor's 'emperor' word. ”

"The emperor?" Bai Wenchao looked at it carefully again, and finally nodded and said, "It's really a bit like that." ”

Yi Yang smiled: "It's not that it's really like, but it is, but it's not the simplified Chinese characters we commonly use now, but the seal script, which is close to hieroglyphs." ”

"It should be." Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Is it particularly rare to have the word 'emperor', so it is precious?" ”

Yi Yang said: "The word 'emperor' has never appeared before, and there is no unearthed cultural relics, this is a unique one." You should know that the state of Chu was destroyed by the state of Qin, and after the state of Qin destroyed the other six states of the Warring States, there was a great unification, and Qin Shi Huang became the emperor from then on, and changed the word "king" to "emperor". This ghost-faced coin was minted when the Qin State destroyed the Chu State, and it was used to commemorate, which is equivalent to the commemorative items that are now called, and its high value is self-evident. ”

He explained it one by one, and Bai Wenchao and Zhu Yeqing nodded when they heard it.

"So that's what happened?!" Bai Wenchao suddenly said, "No wonder it's so valuable." Brother Yi Yang, if I hadn't heard you talk about it, then I would definitely not believe it, I would only think that I was telling a story to fool people. ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "What I said is the truth, it's true, but not many people know about it." ”

This incident was inadvertently seen in an ancient book, which was not a wild history, but a true history, well-founded.

"I know, of course I trust you." Bai Wenchao nodded hurriedly.

Zhu Yeqing said: "Yi Yang, according to what you say, that ancient coin is really a rare thing." ”

"Of course." Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "If this ancient coin is put in the museum, it may be a big treasure at the level of the town hall, and it will attract many antique lovers to come and watch." ”

Bai Wenchao said with a smile: "No wonder you were so generous just now, as soon as you made a move, you bought all the ancient coins on the stall, it turned out that it contained such a huge treasure!" Congratulations, you've picked up another big leak! ”

Yi Yang smiled faintly and said: "Actually, even if you don't have this treasure, this batch of ancient coins is worth selling, anyway, you can't lose much." ”

The reason why he kicked at that time and did not hesitate to wrap up all the things on the ancient coin stall was naturally to rush at the valuable ghost face money in his hand, he was afraid that if he bought it alone, the boss would notice, so he tried it first, and said that he wanted to wrap the stall, who knew that the other party obviously did not know, and did not know the value of this ant nose coin, so he made a deal smoothly.

"Brother Yi Yang, you can take this ancient coin back."

Later, Bai Wenchao handed back the ancient coin he had picked out to Yi Yang.

Yi Yang pushed back and said generously, "Didn't I already say it?" That coin was given to you, and the one selected by Zhu Yeqing was also given to her, you can play with it casually, I have this one is enough. ”

He didn't mean to drink, if he just liked the Yuan Da first-class ancient coin, then it wouldn't take all the troubles, just buy that one, wouldn't it be better to save time and money?

"Okay, then thank you Brother Yi Yang." Bai Wenchao said happily.

Zhu Yeqing was also very happy, and his heart was full of gratitude.

Although that ancient coin is not a rare treasure, it can be regarded as a fine ancient coin, and ordinary people can't receive it.

After chatting about those ancient coins for a while, Yi Yang took Bai Wenchao and the two of them to get up and leave the café.

After coming out of the café, they quickly returned to the nearby antique market, just after a while, they haven't had enough fun, there are many antique stalls and antique shops they haven't been to yet, since they came, then they have to have fun, maybe there are better things waiting for them to find later.
