"Did you take a fancy to this thing? This is just a very ordinary Five Emperor money, and it has no value, if you like it, you can give me a cost price of 100 yuan. "The owner was very generous.

At present, most of the five emperor coins circulating on the market are newly made from the current process, and a string is nothing more than a dozen yuan, which is completely worthless. Even if the copper coin he has here is a real copper coin from the Five Emperors period, the value is not high, and the value of a copper coin is nothing more than twenty yuan, and the sum is only one hundred yuan.

When Ye Feng squatted down to look at the string of Five Emperor Coins, a middle-aged man in his forties came to the stall, and he looked like an antique dealer. When this person saw that Ye Feng came here and actually bought a string of Five Emperor Coins, he felt a little strange.

"This stuff is all over the street, why do you have to go to the black market to buy it? Could it be that there is anything special about this string of Five Emperor Coins? The middle-aged man muttered suspiciously, he knew that copper coins of the same age, because of the different minting locations, the value would vary greatly.

Staring at the string of Five Emperor Coins in Ye Feng's hand, the middle-aged man began to look at it carefully.

Ye Feng paid very happily, put away the Five Emperors and was about to leave.

He had appraised all the other things in the stall, and although they were all genuine, they were of very average value, and there was nothing to collect, and he had no interest in them at all.

With the ability to be identified through perspective, Ye Feng doesn't have to worry about anything happening at all, not to mention that his ideal is to establish the world's largest private museum to replace the world's largest private museum in the United States.

"Little brother, can you lend me this string of Five Emperor Money in your hand?" Seeing that Ye Feng was about to leave, the middle-aged man said anxiously.

When Ye Feng heard this, he didn't say anything, and casually handed over the Five Emperors money in his hand to the middle-aged man.

From the other party's eyes, he realized that maybe this middle-aged man could help him unravel the special features of this string of Five Emperor Coins.

After taking the Five Emperor Coins, the middle-aged man seemed to feel a little different in his hand, and this feeling seemed to be much heavier than the ordinary Five Emperor Coins.

"Mother money......" The middle-aged man suddenly had these two words in his mind.

In ancient times, before each batch of copper coins was minted, a small number of copper coins would be minted for selection, from which the best copper coin was selected as the mother coin, and when the subsequent mass production was made, it was minted with reference to the standard of the mother coin.

Because the mother coin is to be used as a reference standard for subsequent large-scale minting of copper coins, under normal circumstances, the copper used in the minting of the mother coin is much purer than that used in the subsequent large-scale minting of copper coins, and the weight of the mother coin is naturally heavier than that of ordinary coins.

In addition to being heavier than ordinary copper coins, the mother coin will also have special markings on it, but the marks are hidden in the square hole in the middle of the copper coin, which is generally not easy to find at all.

Picking up the string of five emperor coins, the middleman began to look at the situation in the middle hole with the help of the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

"Is there something wrong with the notch on the wall of the hole in the middle hole?" Ye Feng muttered suspiciously, just now he noticed the notches on the inner wall of this string of Five Emperor Coin square holes.

After a while, the middle-aged man really discovered the problem, and there was a clear notch on the four walls of the square hole, which was the mark of the mother money.

There was a flash of joy on his face, and the middle-aged man said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, do you make a price?" How about giving me this string of five emperor coins? ”

Ye Feng clearly noticed the fleeting expression on the middle-aged man's face, shook his head and said, "If you like this thing, there are more in this stall owner, just buy another one yourself." ”

The expression on the stall owner's face also became solemn at this time, he realized that there might really be something wrong with this string of five emperor coins, and the middle-aged man who opened his mouth knew very well that the owner of a large local antique shop had good eyesight, and he would be seen in the black market almost every time.

"It's just a string of five emperor coins? How strange could this be? Unless it's the mother money...... "The boss muttered to himself in his heart, and when he remembered the word mother money, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and stared at the string of five emperor coins in the middle-aged man's hand and looked at it carefully.

He remembered very well that just now the middle-aged man first carefully felt the weight of the copper coin, and then carefully observed the inner wall of the square hole of the copper coin.

The two special features of the mother coin are precisely in the weight and the marking of the inner wall of the square hole......

"Otherwise, how about I pay 2,000 yuan to buy your string of five emperor money?" The middle-aged man continued: "The price of the kung fu has increased twenty times, which is already very good! ”

"I've already said that if you want this thing, the boss has a lot of it, so I'll go buy another bunch myself!" Ye Feng said lightly, although he didn't know what the special weight of this string of Five Emperor Coins and the mark on the inner wall of the square hole represented, but he was already completely sure that this was the special thing about this string of Five Emperor Coins.

If you don't understand, you can go back and ask Kong Lao, or Du Niang, and the situation should be easily solved, and it will be clear at a glance.

"Little brother, I won't tell you, your string of Five Emperor Coins is different from other Five Emperor Coins, you look at the appearance of oil and gas and smoke on it, it is much heavier than ordinary Five Emperor Coins." The middle-aged man said slowly: "This string of Five Emperor Coins should have been smoked by a lot of incense in the temple, I believe in Buddhism, so I want to buy this string of Five Emperor Money, things that have been smoked by incense, can better protect people's safety." ”

When the stall owner heard this, he knew that the middle-aged man had begun to fool, but the things had already been sold, and he couldn't intervene until the two of them had discussed the results before, otherwise they would break the rules.

For such a statement, Ye Feng laughed with a sneer: "Boss, if you want this string of Five Emperor Money, you should show your sincerity." Do you think I didn't see the mystery of this string of five emperor coins? Otherwise, why would I buy this thing? ”

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, recalling the scene just now, he remembered very clearly, Ye Feng just weighed the weight suspiciously, and did not observe the nicks in the square hole, it was absolutely unreasonable to see the problem of copper coins.

"Little brother, I really have a lot of sincerity, this string of Five Emperor Coins is really like what I just said, it has been smoked by the temple incense."

Ye Feng smiled disdainfully and said, "I don't know if I have been smoked by the incense of the temple, but I know that the special thing about this string of Five Emperor Coins is its weight and the notches on the inner wall of the square hole......"

Although he didn't know what was special about these two questions, he was completely sure that the special thing about this string of Five Emperor Coins was the notch on the inner wall of the square hole in the weight.

"I didn't expect the little brother to be an insider! Okay, since that's the case, I have nothing to hide, that's right, this thing is indeed mother's money, I don't know if the little brother is willing to give up the thing with pain? In terms of price, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. ”

"Mother money ......, no wonder the result of the ability appraisal is extremely collectible!" Ye Feng said with emotion.

Having been in the antique shop for almost two years, he knows a lot about the basics of antiques.

The so-called mother money, get modern is similar to the template used when printing money, all the subsequent banknotes are printed according to the template, the template storage measures of each version of the banknote are very in place, and when the new version of the banknote comes out, the old version of the template will be destroyed, the same is true for the mother money, it can be said that if someone gets the mother money, it is completely possible to make a large number of copper coins.

But now, in addition to the extremely high collectors, the mother money basically has no value, the five emperor coins represented by the five emperors of the period of bronze are completely worthless, plus the price of refined copper is very high, if someone really wants to make a large number of five emperor money from it, I am afraid that the final result can only be beyond the means.

"How did these pieces of mother money from different emperors pass down, and they were also strung together to form five emperor coins, which is really a coincidence!" Ye Feng's heart sighed again.

The owner of the stall, after hearing the middle-aged man's answer exactly, did not show any depression and remorse. Anyway, he didn't find this thing, and if he wasn't discovered by Ye Feng today, he would be bought by someone else sooner or later.

has lived a lot of years, and he has long seen some things very thoroughly, some things, what is yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours, and he can't force it.

"How's it going, little brother? If you're willing to give up your love, I'll give you a good price? Seeing Ye Feng's unmoved expression, the middle-aged man continued with some anxiety.

Ye Feng shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't plan to sell this thing." "I already know that this string of Five Emperor coins is the current copper coins made during the Five Emperors period, and there is absolutely no reason to sell them.

These extremely rare and precious antiques are different from those superb jadeite, just like this string of five emperor coins currently made from the Five Emperors period, perhaps the mother money left from the Five Emperors period is only a few pieces, if it is sold, it may never be found again.

Jadeite is different, there are many jadeite mines in China and abroad every day jadeite rough is mined out in a steady stream, as long as there is jadeite rough, Ye Feng believes that he will be able to find the best jadeite, unless it is like yesterday's solution similar to Longao Kyushu, and today's amethyst double pupils This extremely rare natural jade carving jadeite.

Amethyst double pupils can be called the most valuable jadeite among natural jade carved jadeite. But the Ming Emperor jadeite of the nine natural jade carvings of Longao may be far less valuable than the amethyst pupils abroad, but it is different in China, the descendants of the dragon, the map of Kyushu, and the soaring dragon hovering over Kyushu, which has a special meaning for all Chinese people.

"Thirty million, how about I sell this thing to me for thirty million." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

Ye Feng shook his head lightly.

"Little brother, the price of 30 million is really not low, although the collection value of the five emperor coins made of this string of mother money is extremely high, but if it is auctioned on the market, 30 million is definitely a limit price, if you can't touch what you like, you can't even buy it at the price of 20 million." The middle-aged man continued, this is true.

Although the mother money is extremely scarce and valuable, but because this kind of thing belongs to a relatively unpopular collection, the price fluctuates greatly, and the price may be very high if you meet the one you like, but if you don't meet the one you like, you often can't sell it at a good price.
