Chapter 633: Coin Curiosities
Chen Yi slowly followed behind the treasure search mouse, heading towards the target it had found, and his heart was still full of anticipation for the unknown treasures that might be found.
The speed of the treasure hunt mouse is not very fast, coupled with its golden appearance, so that Chen Yi can catch up with it without having to pay full attention to it.
In terms of the ability of the treasure search mouse, it can directly pass through the human body, but this treasure search mouse seems to be really like a live mouse, dodging left and right in the crowd, passing through the gaps, and on the way to run, he also glances back at Chen Yi from time to time, beckons his paws, and then continues to run.
Soon, the treasure hunt rat stopped at a somewhat dimly lit stall, waved its paw at Chen Yi, and then jumped up to the stall, looking for its target.
Chen Yi also slowly stopped, took a flashlight and kept watching the surrounding stalls, and after pretending to be enough, he came to the stall where the treasure search mouse was kept.
He doesn't seem to have visited this stall before, the whole antique ghost market, the number of people who came to set up stalls is countless, he walked around before, but he just looked at it like a horse, it is impossible to stop at every stall, otherwise, if you turn around, it is estimated that it is dawn now.
And this stall is a typical grocery stall, on which it can be said that there are all kinds of antiques, porcelain, jade, and even Chen Yi saw a few portraits of Chairman Mao and childhood comics.
Seeing these comic books, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, he used to love this kind of book the most when he was a child, but now, only a complete set of comic books with a small number of surviving comic books are valuable. Besides. The most valuable ones are the original comic strips of some famous artists.
It's like what Chen Yi knows. At present, the highest price in the auction market is the original manuscript of the Shrimp Ball Biography painted by Guan Shanyue of the Lingnan School, a total of 72 works in the style of ink on paper, which has sold for as high as 39 million yuan.
These thoughts flashed in an instant, and Chen Yi set his eyes on the location of the treasure search mouse, which was standing on a pile of coins at this time, holding something with his hands, as if the treasure it was looking for was hidden underneath.
Chen Yi looked at the coins on the stall. There was a look of surprise on his face, and the coins placed here were not the copper coins that were common in antique stalls, but some old coins from the past, one-cent, five-cent, and even one-piece coins, which could be found in them.
And in addition to the liberated coins, he also saw a few Yuan Datou, which made him intrigued, could it be that the treasure found by the treasure search mouse. It's these former coins that don't come together.
Chen Yi was also very interested in the coins issued by Huaxia before. I specifically learned that when he was still in high school at home, he saw many people come to collect previous coins, and made a special list of how many years and how many cents can be exchanged for how much.
At that time, the network was not developed, and the information was not communicated at all, which also made these businessmen get huge returns.
In terms of coin collection, there are five golden flowers, sometimes called the five heavenly kings, because the coins of Huaxia are produced according to the needs of circulation, if there is no shortage of coins of a certain denomination in a certain year, the coins of this year are often not produced, and the five golden flowers are produced from this.
These five golden flowers are five cents in seventy-nine years, two cents and five cents in eighty-year, and one cent and five cents in eighty-one years, these five kinds of coins were not in short supply at that time, so they were not mass-produced and issued, only a small amount was produced, and coins of various denominations in the same year were framed into annual Chinese coin sets, which were given or sold to foreign guests as collectibles, and were generally sold to foreign guests to receive six yuan in foreign exchange coupons, which can be said to be very precious.
Now, the price of one cent is the most expensive in 81 years, and its price has reached 1,500 yuan, and if it is said that the whole set of five golden flowers is sold, then the price will increase again.
As for Yuan Datou's silver dollar, there are also many types, and the price is not the same, Chen Yi remembers that there were a few Yuan Datou at home before, but now I don't know where to throw it.
Chen Yi quietly picked up the pile of coins, picked up a coin at random and watched, and at this time, the treasure hunt mouse saw his target and jumped onto one of the coins, this coin only left a small corner, and the rest of the coin was still covered under the other coins.
Coupled with the dim environment, Chen Yi couldn't tell what this coin was at all, and soon, the energy of the treasure search technique ran out, and the golden treasure search mouse slowly turned into a gold star and disappeared into the air.
Chen Yi played with the coin in his hand, and then used identification on the coin found by the treasure search mouse.
At this time, it seemed that Chen Yi was interested in coins, and the stall owner couldn't help but stick his head out and said mysteriously: "Young man, you are interested in this coin, do you know the five golden flowers." ”
Chen Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise, "What, boss, do you have five golden flowers here?" ”
"Hehe, of course there is, no one will put good things on the stall like this, are you sure you want it, if you want, I can take it out first for you to see the goods." The stall owner smiled and said with some smugness.
Chen Yi smiled lightly, "Boss, don't bluff me, take a look at the goods first, and then talk about other things." ”
"Okay, young man, you wait, I'll get it for you." As he spoke, the stall owner took out the box under his buttocks and rummaged through it, while not forgetting to observe Chen Yi's movements.
Chen Yi smiled and didn't care, at this time, the information of successful identification came to his mind, and when he learned the content of the information, he was shocked, he didn't expect that in this pile of coins, there was such a valuable coin hidden.
After reading the information, he pressed the excitement in his heart, picked up in the coin pile again, and saw the appearance of this coin, this coin was full of dirt, it looked inconspicuous in the whole coin pile, he couldn't help but smile on his face, this coin is a silver dollar, its value is far more precious than five golden flowers.
"Here, young man, let me show you the most precious of the five golden flowers, the eighty-year-old penny, which sometimes you can't buy with money." At this time, the stall owner picked up the box for a while, took out a small coin from it, and carefully handed it to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi took the coin gently, he didn't believe that there would really be five golden flowers in this stall, because the five golden flowers were specially given to foreign guests as a collection, and they were not circulated in the domestic market, and most of the five golden flowers that can be seen in the coin collection market are returned from overseas.
Most of the five gold flowers that appear in the antique market today are fakes, porcelain has fakes, and of course there are coins.
Looking at the one-cent coin, Chen Yi touched it with his hand, and his face couldn't help but show nostalgia, when he was a child, he was still using these cents coins to buy things.
The coin has two ears of wheat wrapped in a circle with two large characters, and on the empty space where the two ears of wheat are connected, there is an Arabic numeral one.
As for the bottom, there are a few numbers from 1981, Chen Yi didn't look at it carefully, he found the mystery in it, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Although the change is more perfect and real, it can deceive ordinary people, but it can never fool his sharp eyes, if you change to some inexperienced novices, in this dim environment, maybe you will take this coin as real.
"Young man, how about it, absolutely real eighty years of a penny, I received it from a foreigner, collect coins, you have to collect these valuable, if you want, I can give you a cheaper, definitely lower than the market price." The stall owner waited until Chen Yi looked at it for a while, and then continued to flicker with a smile on his face.
Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, "Boss, I estimate that if you were born a few years earlier, it would be worth almost a lot." With that, he handed the coin back to the stall owner.
Seeing that Chen Yi had debunked himself, the stall owner didn't have any feelings, just smiled, "The young man has good eyesight, and it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves." "In the antique industry, the skin must be thicker than the city wall to be able to eat
"Boss, don't compliment me, since you have praised me, I am embarrassed to leave directly, see if there is anything worth collecting in this pile of money." Hearing the stall owner's words, Chen Yi waved his hand, and then continued to watch in the pile of money.
After that, Chen Yi found four coins, put the one found by the treasure hunt mouse into them, made five coins, put them in his hand, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, you can give a price for these five coins." ”
The stall owner looked at a few coins in Chen Yi's hand, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, young man, take out the coins covered by your thumb and take a look, you little trick, but you can't hide it from me." ”
Chen Yi was suddenly a little nervous, "Boss, I didn't put this thumb on purpose. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not." The stall owner took out the five coins directly from Chen Yi's hand, looked at the other four at random, and then set his eyes on the thumb cover, "Oh, young man has good eyesight, you can also find this valuable silver dollar in this pile of money, I didn't even find it before." ”
"Young man, your target should not be these four coins, but this silver dollar, the eighth year of the Republic of China, Yuan Datou back Jiahe one yuan silver coin, although there is some rust on it, but it can still be worth one or two thousand yuan, how much do you think I want to sell it to you." The stall owner looked at the other four coins, then pinched the one in his hand and said with a smile.
Chen Yi smiled helplessly, "Boss, let's talk about a price first." ”
"Hehe, see you take care of my business, how about you take two thousand yuan for these five coins." The stall owner didn't seem to forget to pack the other four coins for sale. (To be continued......)
