In the United States, there are many philatelic enthusiasts, who have collected a lot of stamps issued in the United States, but also all over the world.

Jin Muchen used to be at the home of his colleagues in the United States, and he had seen a lot of such philatelic albums and saw many precious stamps of various eras.

However, most of the precious stamps collected by people are major European powers, or the ancestors of Australians, the British, as for the stamps issued by the Australians themselves, they are not collected by others at all.

He had heard the man talk about stamps issued in Australia, which were not worth it to their experts.

In their mouths, Australian stamps are all garbage and not worth collecting.

Because the country was founded in too short a time, even shorter than the United States, it was only about 200 years, and half of these more than 200 years were still due to the status of a British colony.

So at that time, many of their cultural objects were basically the same as those of the United Kingdom, for example, the stamps they issued were basically copied according to the British stamps.

The stamps in this philatelic album that Jin Muchen saw now generally confirm the statements of those philatelic enthusiasts.

The stamps were almost identical to the British stamps he had seen in the United States, most of them with Queen Victoria's head or bust.

And the workmanship is very rough, and the postmark on the stamps shows these stamps, but it has taken a long time.

The Queen's head on these stamps is set in stone. However, the earliest postmark is from 1840. Then 1850's. It was up to 1894.

This Nima is too irresponsible, right?

It's a penny or half a penny stamp, and the British will adjust the bust of the queen on the stamp according to the changes in the queen's appearance and figure during the 64 years of Queen Victoria's reign.

This stamp has been used for decades, and it is difficult for Queen Victoria in your impression to have the ability to live forever?

No wonder people in the United States philatelic enthusiasts. Will look down on Australian stamps, this is also rough, irresponsible?

After turning a few pages, Jin Muchen saw almost all the busts of the queen, and the only difference was that the postmark of the place on those stamps was constantly changing.

Looking at this unchanged stamp, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the philatelic enthusiasts who created this philatelic album at the beginning.

This did not change until he turned to the last pages of the album. For example, in the next few pages, some stamps with different statues finally appeared.

One of them is a Britannian woman with a bullwhip sitting on a haystack. Next to him stood a pair of freemen, and in front of the woman was a prisoner in handcuffs and shackles.

Obviously, the moral of this statue is that the woman is teaching the prisoners who have been exiled to Australia what it means to be industrious, how to be less self-reliant, and to earn a living with her own hands.

After all, it's the sailing Sydney Bay, and the buildings in the distance.

Although the graphics are a little rough, they look somewhat interesting.

Then there is a stamp that is a little larger than the others, reddish-brown, with an image of an island in the distance, a port in front of it, and the word Tasmania written on the top of the stamp.

It seems that this is a stamp issued by the local post office in Tasmania in the early years.

Although it was also very rough to make, it was still very happy to finally be able to see some stamps of different natures.

There are a few stamps below, it looks a little confusing, this is a pair of quadruple stamps, the background color is blue, and there is a black swan in the middle, but this quadruple stamp looks a little weird, what is the specific weird method, Jin Muchen can't say.

But he always felt that there was something wrong with a few stamps, and in the original album, he looked through it, and it was these four stamps that could be seen in the jewelry.

He felt a little strange, he was about to turn around and leave here just now, but he was attracted by the flash of jewels on this stamp album.

But after looking around, I couldn't see the baby that shone with a strong black light, although the quadruple in front of me also had a flash of jewelry, but it was a relatively weak blue.

What the hell was going on with that black light from before?

Could it be that there is a mezzanine in this stamp album, where is the real treasure hidden?

Jin Muchen, who had also had such a treasure hunting experience before, couldn't help but feel his heart beat wildly when he thought of this.

If it's really as I guessed, it means that I have to pick up a big bargain, but I can't show it now, what I have to do now is to take down this stamp album first, and then go back and study it slowly.

Jin Muchen closed the album quietly, at this time the sky had begun to brighten, he looked at his watch, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning.

I really didn't expect that I would look at it for more than half an hour, and when I looked up, the stall owner was still looking at him, and the follower Morin I hired was also standing behind me and watching it boredly.

He looked up at the pimple-covered stall owner and asked with a smile, "How much is this stamp album?" ”

The guy with a pimple face, his eyes were dripping, he was not very old, but he should have been setting up a stall here for a long time, although he had a public face, Jin Muchen could obviously feel that this guy was very cunning.

He just saw that he was looking at it so seriously, and he must have deduced that he was very optimistic about this thing, so he was evaluating it in his heart at this time.

"Hmm...... Five...... No...... Eight thousand pieces. ”

He hesitated for a while and quoted a price, as soon as Jin Muchen heard this offer, he knew that this kid definitely didn't know the value of the treasure in this album, otherwise he would definitely not have quoted so low.

This stamp album may have been taken out by the sheep when he used to patronize a place to steal things, and as for whether the stamps in it were worth anything, he must not have done anything to understand.

Originally, he thought that the price was not too high and should be worth taking, but just when he was about to speak, Mo Lin, who had been standing behind him, suddenly became excited.

"Come on, Derek, you're so dishonest, how long have you been sitting on your stall with such a broken philatelic book? The broken stamps inside, who doesn't know, are some worthless garbage? How dare you open your mouth and ask for eight thousand? ”

Jin Muchen didn't expect that this Mo Lin would actually stand up and fight for grievances, and hearing him say this, he seemed to know this stall owner.

The guy with a pimple on his face, when he heard Merlin say this, he was a little anxious, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Morin, what's the business with you here? Don't talk nonsense! And why are the stamps in my stamp album worthless, these are all stamps from more than 100 years ago! ”

At this time, Mo Lin also knew that he had just been impulsive, broke the rules here, and was warned like this, so he stopped talking.

And Jin Muchen laughed: "Come on, young man, you should know if your stamp is worth anything." That is, for the postmark on your stamp, it can still be worth a little money, but 8,000 yuan, you are obviously thinking too much. That's it, 800 yuan, if you want, we'll make a deal, if you don't want to, then forget it! ”

"Deal, deal, of course deal!"

What are you kidding, a piece of garbage that is too cumbersome at the bottom of the box, and people are willing to spend 800 Australian dollars to collect it, how could this pimple-riddled Derek not agree to sell it?

If he didn't agree to the deal, his brain would have been taken by the elephant.

Jin Muchen smiled and took out eight hundred yuan from his wallet, handed it to the Derek, and regardless of the guy's joyful virtue, he got up and took Mo Lin and started to walk out.

There's nothing to see here, and Merlin is chattering a little after him.

"Mr. Kim, is that photo album really not worth that money? I used to come here a lot, and this thing was in that kid's hands, and I had been pressing it for almost two years, and no one usually wanted to take a look at it......"

"Haha, okay, Derek I know you're kind too, thank you. Whether this stamp album is worth it or not, I know. Well, here's your thank you fee. ”

Jin Muchen said as he took out five hundred from his pocket and slapped it on Mo Lin's hand, originally said that it would be two hundred Australian dollars, but for the sake of this kid actually helping him speak just now, Jin Muchen felt that it would be okay to give him another three hundred.

After all, he's still quite responsible!

Morin was also a little excited when he saw the five hundred yuan in his hand, this was his usual salary for a week!

"Mr. Kim, thank you so much......"

"Huh! You're welcome, I'm very satisfied with your service today. ”

"That's good, that's good, by the way, you must have not eaten before you came, how about I treat you to breakfast?"

"Okay!"

Jin Muchen replied with a smile, he was really hungry at this time.

Maureen didn't talk nonsense, and walked out of the market with him, but he didn't go far, it was only five o'clock now, and it was not yet six o'clock, and at this time, no one in Sydney City opened a store except for those McDonald's that operated all night.

But next to this market, there is a breakfast cart that makes snacks, and apparently this breakfast cart is specially prepared for people who come here to catch the morning market.

Mo Lin was obviously very familiar with this breakfast car, and he was familiar with Jin Muchen and came to the breakfast car.

"Hey! Morris brought us two fried herrings, no chips, two burgers with eggs, two hot coffee......"

The busy figure in the breakfast car, without looking back, agreed: "Okay!" (To be continued......)
