Chapter 267: The Finale's Fake!

Finally, it was the turn of the last piece of collectibles.

Generally speaking, the last piece of the auction is the finale, with the highest value, the most competition, but also the most risky.

Originally, today's finale was the gluttonous pattern double-footed tripod of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty provided by Xu Hanwen, one of the four young people in Beijing, but for some unspeakable reasons, Hu Junsheng, who was also one of the four young people in Beijing, removed it from the auction list.

So, when the auctioneer said that the next bid was the last one, almost everyone held their breath.

The staff stepped forward with the brocade box, and the auctioneer opened it in public, and the name of the lot, detailed photos, and a brief introduction were immediately printed on the wall.

The guests were stunned.

Shrug your shoulders and point your feet empty!

The lot used by the Fortune Auction House to replace the gluttonous pattern double-footed tripod is actually a shrug shoulder and point-to-foot empty cloth coin in the Spring and Autumn Period, or a peerless treasure engraved with the word "Zhongyi"!

Not all of the people present liked to collect coins, but even those who did not understand the value of Zhongyi shrugged his shoulders and pointed out the empty first cloth coin, and saw the words "one of the early forms of coins", "the one with text is extremely rare", and "no more than five coins have survived, and it is one of the treasures in the pre-Qin currency empty first cloth series", and they immediately realized that this ancient coin is very valuable!

Finale!

The real finale!

The auction hall was silent.

This is a rare item with no price in the market, what will be the starting price?

This is something that everyone present wants to know.

People who like to collect coins clench their fists and calculate the maximum amount of money they can mobilize at the moment.

The auctioneer begins to introduce the lots as is customary:

"As you can see, the last lot in today's charity auction is a Spring and Autumn shrug and pointed-footed empty cloth coin.

As we all know, the empty head cloth coin is one of the earliest forms of currency in China, and it is an item in the pre-Qin period, and there are very few surviving items.

This one is cast in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a 'middle' character on the upper side of the right thin vertical rib on the coin surface, and there is a 'one' word that crosses the thin rib at the bottom of the vertical, and it is also considered to be the word 'ten', so it is called 'Zhongyi' shrug shoulders and pointed feet empty first cloth coin, the quality is extremely rare, and there are less than five pieces in existence! The future of collection can be imagined! ”

The venue was silent.

How could such a treasure appear in a charity auction!

The experts looked up in unison, looking at the brocade box in the auctioneer's hand, some were puzzled, some were contemplative, some frowned and looked closely, and the atmosphere was weird.

The auctioneer continued: "I know how everyone is feeling at the moment, and I must be thinking, how can such a precious coin appear in a charity auction venue?!" Who can guarantee the authenticity of the coins! ”

Silence continued.

The same silence was felt in the expert bench.

"This coin is the favorite collection of Yi Dong's father, and he was not going to auction it. This time the love is cut because of the temporary ownership dispute of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty gluttonous pattern double-footed tripod provided by Xu Shao, Yi Dong couldn't bear to be disappointed and returned, and took out the empty cloth coin, hoping that everyone could cheer! Make a new contribution to the charity of Qixia Group. ”

Speaking of which, the guests may still be a little confused, but the hearts of the experts in the expert table are suddenly clear.

Obviously, the authenticity of this empty coin is debatable.

But whoever dares to say that the empty cloth coin is fake on the spot is not giving Yi Qiuling and Hu Junsheng face, and at the same time invisibly offending Xu Hanwen!

So, is the empty coin real or fake?!

The experts looked at each other and soon had an idea.

The auctioneer handed the brocade box to the staff, and the staff walked to the expert bench with the brocade box in hand.

"Now, please do a tasting for us!"

Hearing this, the old men in the expert bench all showed embarrassed expressions.

The bronze expert lifted his glasses, the patina on the surface of the empty cloth coin looked a little new......

The calligraphy expert touched his chin, and the strokes of the word "middle one" looked a little wrong......

The pre-Qin expert's fingers kept fiddling, and this empty cloth coin seemed to be a little different from the unearthed artifacts he had seen in the museum......

……

Suspicion is condensed in the hearts of experts, and no one wants to stand up to vouch for this ancient coin that is difficult to distinguish between authenticity and fake, but no one dares to stand up and debunk the truth.

The emperor's new clothes are not so good-

The expert seats were full of suspicions, and the guest seats were just as confused.

Of course, they didn't doubt the authenticity of the coin, after all, it was an auction event held by Qixia Group, and so many experts were present, so it was expected that it could not be a fake.

It's justβ€”

Shrugging one's shoulders and pointing its feet to empty the first cloth coin, which has no price in the market, appears at a charity auction, and the starting price must be sky-high. But who wants to pay a sky-high price for a copper piece that can't be taken out as a show-off?!

It's probably hype!

In the silence, the auctioneer quoted the starting price: "Ten million!" ”

The guests looked at each other and ninety percent decided to give up.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The nursery arranged by Zhang Lan in advance was about to raise a sign to take a photo, and at this time, someone at the venue raised his hand.

It was a slender white hand with a leopard-shaped platinum bracelet wrapped around Cartier, a cheetah with diamonds and eyes of pure and flawless sapphires.

There was silence.

Everyone looked at this hand that appeared out of thin air, and the men regretted it even more: I knew that the goddess was interested in the empty cloth coin, I should have taken the auction!

The auctioneer was also sluggish.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Eleven million!" ”

Ye Yi stood up from his seat, and his lips opened slightly: "One dollar!" ”

The venue was stunned.

After a long silence, there was a long inhalation.

Almost everyone suspected that they were dreaming or that something was wrong with their ears.

They looked at Ye Yi in surprise.

Yi Qiuling held back her anger and said, "Miss Yi, are you joking?" ”

Ye Yi smiled and walked out slowly.

She is not a model, but her steps are like a red carpet catwalk, noble and imposing, there are thousands of troops behind her, along the way, everyone is sluggish, and the security guards have forgotten to stop her.

She walked onto the auction table, smiling like a flower, and her red dress was scorching.

The auctioneer was also stunned, until Ye Yi walked up to him, he didn't know what to do, until he was glared at by Hu Junsheng, and then he stepped off the stage.

Ye Yi picked up the small hammer, turned his head, looked at the stunned experts, smiled at the surprised guests below, and said, "I'll give a dollar, this is for Yi Dong and Lao Hu face." In fact, I don't even want to give up a dollar, because this empty cloth coin is a fake, or a low-grade fake with a rough shape! ”

Her voice was not loud, but it echoed in the venue, like rolling thunder and lightning, shocking the audience!

The guests looked at Ye Yi in shock, the antique experts looked at Ye Yi in shock, Yi Qiuling's face turned pale, and she stood up unconsciously!

Hu Junsheng also stood up and asked sharply: "Is this true!" ”

This sentence was asked not only to Ye Yi, but also to Yi Qiuling, and at the same time to all the experts present.

The experts were silent.
