Chapter 719
As early as the Xia Dynasty, China used animal bones and turtle shells, which began to be used as coins to exchange physical objects, and the Shang Dynasty used shells as physical currency until the Spring and Autumn Period. After the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of countries used bronze to cast different styles of circulating currency, such as knife coins, shovel coins, round coins, etc., and Qin Shi Huang unified the casting of square hole round coins, which continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although each dynasty and each new emperor ascended the throne, the previous copper coins would be melted down to mint new coins, but so many dynasties have changed, and there are countless coins used in funerals alone. To this day, the number of various copper coins is not a minority. Look at this market, in front of almost every stall, you can see copper coins piled on the ground.
There are piles of copper coins in front of the stall owner, and only this one Zhining ingot, placed in a box with red cloth, is very conspicuous. It can be seen that the stall owner knows its value.
There are too many copper coins, so in the collection of copper coins, playing is a treasure of fine products, and rare things are expensive! Generally, the coins of the prosperous dynasty, which had a large circulation, are now worthless, and only some rare ancient coins are sought after by collectors.
Due to many reasons such as the vicissitudes of time, wars, and man-made destruction, some ancient coins are still rare, and there are very few surviving coins.
Some are still "unique products", such as the "Kaiping Tongbao" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the "Shaosheng Heavy Treasure" of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the "Yongle Tongbao" of the Ming Dynasty; Some of them only have a few pieces in existence, such as the "Great Shu Tongbao" and "Great Qi Tongbao" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the "Tianxian Tongbao" of the Liao Dynasty, and some of them only have dozens of pieces, such as the "three-hole cloth" and Qi "six-character knife" of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Five dynasties and ten kingdoms of "Tiance Mansion Treasure", "Qianyuan Heavy Treasure" and so on.
Zhining ingots are the old collection of the famous medicine rain of the Republic of China, and it is still a unique product, and it is now in the National Museum.
The so-called 50 Zhen is the general name of 50 varieties of rare ancient coins in the Chinese coin collecting circle, and the general collector of ancient coins, if they do not get a few 50 Zhen coins in their hands, are embarrassed to say to people that they are collectors who play with coins.
Of course, these rare coins have basically made their way into museums or have become treasures of great collectors, and they are rare to see. The chances of buying them at the "leakage" price are almost zero, and it's not that easy to pick them up.
"Hey! Let's take a look at the little girl! This thin gold font is clearly visible. You see, this is a deep word. The strength of the writing and the beauty of the calligraphy are commendable. This condition is well preserved, this bag of pulp is round, you look at the black lacquer and rust on the surface of this copper coin, it is very old at a glance. The stall owner turned into a chatter. Continuing his tricks. "It's not open yet. Girl, if you want. I'll count you cheaper, 3,000 yuan. I've already suffered a lot. ”
"Besides, the one in close custody is in the National Museum. It's impossible to put it up for auction, and if you buy it, there's only one that can be circulated in the world. "The stall owner is like that, if you don't buy the whole stupid big sister, you won't be able to get such a big bargain.
Fang Monan shook his head and looked at him jumping up and down with a smile, "What you said is out of the blue, you can be sure that it is true." ”
"Hey...... This is a test of your eyesight. The stall owner smiled and said, "Miss, if this Zhining ingots are really 3,000 yuan, it is not expensive, and if it is transferred to the auction house, the price will be ......" He smacked his mouth and said, "If this is beaten, the loss will not be big, the key is your eyesight, what I said will not work." ”
In the antique industry, in the final analysis, it is the eyesight. No one comes back to return the goods because they feel that they bought the wrong one, one is that they feel that they can't afford to lose this person, and they are afraid that others will know that they have hit the eye; The second is that if you buy the wrong one, it means that your eyesight is not good, and you can't blame others, so you can only subscribe to the tuition fee.
"You're going to be tricky!" Fang Monan shook his head and chuckled. As soon as her eyes opened, she clearly saw a trace of heaven and earth vitality, which looked like an old imitation, no wonder it was so realistic.
Antique counterfeiting has existed since ancient times. Even the palace office also imitated the porcelain of the previous dynasty, but the people's knowledge clearly said that it was imitated, but these imitation porcelain has been passed down to this day and its value has doubled.
The stall owner was honest in setting the price, and he was at the price of the old imitation.
"Hehe......" The stall owner smiled, this thing was collected from the ancestral hall in the countryside, mixed in a pile of copper coins, when he cleaned up these copper coins, he saw that it was like a treasure! As for the authenticity he believes is true, he has had people identify, this authenticity is not easy to say, some people say it is true, some people say it is old imitation. So buy it at this roadside stall! Let the buyer discern it, hoping to meet a big wrongdoer.
It's best if you can sell it at a high price, but if you can't sell it, just keep it! Anyway, the copper coins were collected in piles, and it didn't cost much money at that time.
In the antique industry, fakes are everywhere, and old imitations are also worth collecting. The key is to see whether the buyer can see it or not! Even if it is genuine, if you can't meet a collector who wants to collect it, then it is unpopular, except for the historical research value that you don't understand, it can't be sold to the ocean, and it is worthless in their eyes! But if you meet a collector who wants to collect, even if it is a fake, it will be worth a lot! Antiques are such a business, that's it!
"How? Miss, do you want more? The stall owner said again.
A middle-aged man in a stall next to him said, "Second son, it's okay, the little girl has been put back, so don't chatter." "People have already seen it, and they don't want it whether it's true or not.
"If you have to buy and sell, you can't be benevolent, do you see if there is anything you like? Everything else I have here is genuine. The stall owner continued.
When he said this, Fang Monan believed that the other items in the stall were somewhat sinister. She shook her head, the sinister aura was too small. I turned around just now, and I took a cursory look at the side, there is a powerful and powerful weapon, but it can't be used as a weapon to take advantage of.
"Hey! Miss, why do you keep shaking your head! What exactly do you say you want to buy? The stall owner looked at the person in front of him like a buyer, and he really didn't want to let go.
Most of this place came out of the soil, and Fang Monan wanted to find a weapon to take advantage of. "Do you have an ancient weapon here?"
"Why the little girl's family likes knives and guns and things like that." The stall owner muttered, more regretful, he didn't have what she needed here.
When the antique industry is in contact, it feels like the four words 'living color'. It's a test of concentration, full of drama, calm and full of murderous intimacy, and it's about playing while appreciating. 'Don't open for three years, open for three years', one in and one out is a big ticket.
It's a pity that the stall owner looks like he's looking for it now, and there's no suitable one! It's too unpopular.
This industry is generally crowded, and it is rare to have a crowded market. Because of the truth and the price, the buyer has to come several times to reach a consensus with the boss. A one-shot deal can only occur if it deceives the layman. The little girl was clearly an expert, and after flickering for so long, no one entered the urn. So this time, the stall owner honestly said, "I don't have that kind of unpopular collection here." ”
In the world of collecting, the number of collectors of cold weapons is not large, and the reason for this is that the number of antique swords on the market is too small. Cold weapons, because of their actual combat function, killing is too heavy, generally regarded as an inauspicious weapon, in the traditional concept of the Chinese people, is not a worthy of effort to collect or study the object. Some of the weapons scattered in the folk are recycled into civilian products, and some types are directly used as agricultural tools, coupled with years of rust, wear and tear, and destruction, especially after liberation, a large number of ancient cold weapons have been destroyed due to the great smelting of steel, so there are fewer and fewer that can be preserved.
From the large categories of antique collections, including calligraphy and painting, jade, bronzes, porcelain, ancient furniture, miscellaneous, etc., have been recognized by collectors and the market and formed a collection boom, but there is almost no place for cold weapons, even in miscellaneous, it is a relatively unpopular category.
"Little girl, you want to find a weapon, I have one in my hand, I don't know if it suits you!" The middle-aged man next to him spoke up, but he didn't take it out.
"Oh!" Fang Menan raised his eyebrows and said.
The middle-aged man in his forties persuaded, "Little girl, these ancient weapons, especially those that come out of the soil, are often too heavy and not good for your health, I advise you, it's better not to!" ”
"Yes, yes! Don't believe this, little girl. The young stall owner looked left and right and muttered in a low voice, "The tombs are all pointed out by a feng shui master, and most of the things that come out of them are yin." ”
"Little girl, it's true." The two stall owners nodded in unison.
For the two of them to persuade hard, Fang Monan still has a good impression, she raised her eyes and made a circle on the faces of the two, her face was dignified, and she was a sincere person.
Fang Monan took a step back and stood on the uncle's stall, "Uncle, you really sell enough to live, but there are some old objects...... The things placed on this stall are clear and distinct, the corner of the stall is full of various copper coins, in the middle is some bronzes, and there are jade and porcelain and other objects scattered around.
Fang Monan could see that these items were all collected from some people's homes, not objects from the soil. It's not like the stalls next to it are all out of the dirt, with a sinister atmosphere. Fang Monan looked at the young stall owner and said, "I said big brother! You still take a little less for this object, but more is not good for your health! ”
"Thanks! Little girl, I'll tell you, I'm not afraid of these dead air! The stall owner replied with a smile.
"Oh!" Fang Monan raised her eyebrows and looked at him again, no wonder, her face was sudden, it turned out that there were talismans on her body! A jade artifact.
"It should be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for children and grandchildren, and it is better to touch less!" Fang Menan kindly reminded.
Although this young stall owner has no dead breath on his body, because of dead air, this kind of aura can only be found in people who often go in and out of the grave. This kind of death is also a kind of evil energy, and it is not as miserable as that of tomb robbers.
Since ancient times, people who have been engaged in tomb robbing have rarely been able to get a good death.
And this stall owner specializes in collecting the objects in the hands of the bucket, the yin and evil qi usually does not hurt people, but it condenses more, and when it is old or unlucky, this evil qi attacks, but it will make people's end extremely miserable. (To be continued......)
