Chapter 278: Impeccable Fake
The silver ingot is round and the waist is girded, the two ends are slightly cocked, the text is engraved on the ingot surface, and the silver bureau spends fifty taels of silver.
This fifty taels of silver ingots was the main silver style of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a silver tael specially cast for the treasury.
During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's needs were made by the inner government, and the internal government system was huge, divided into four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors.
The Silver Bureau is one of the 24 yamen of the Inner Palace, specializing in the manufacture of gold and silver ornaments used in the palace.
In addition to the silver ingots of the treasury, there were also gold and silver beans, gold and silver leaves, etc., which were used by the emperor for rewards.
This silver ingot is impeccable in terms of format, inscription, and side details.
The only thing is that the quality is too perfect.
However, this kind of fine large silver ingots are generally treasured by collectors, unlike copper coins that circulate frequently and have a heavy pulp.
Perfect condition, no major flaws, and nothing wrong with it.
It stands to reason that it is impeccable, and it is indeed a treasure with a wide open door.
However, Chongning's intuition always felt that something was wrong.
He glanced at the hidden bedroom door.
Inside, there seems to be an invisible eye, watching them.
In order to confirm the authenticity, Chongning must use his golden hand to identify it.
At this time, Li Shengxing's eyes were looking at Hao Yunlin.
Chongning quietly urged Qianjin's hand, imperceptibly holding it under the silver ingot.
"Huh?"
His face suddenly changed greatly, and his heart was extremely shocked, feeling unbelievable.
How? How so?
The light of the golden hand was dim, only a faint green.
At the same time, on the ancient seal gold characters of the palm, green light appeared.
Gold general goods?
Looking at the color of the light, it is at most 10,000 yuan.
The current price of silver is about four or five yuan per gram.
Fifty taels of ingots, about 2,500 grams, according to the current price of silver, is exactly 10,000 yuan.
Could it be that this silver ingot is a modern imitation?
It's unbelievable.
The imitation is almost identical, and there is nothing wrong with it!
It is impossible to go wrong with the results of a thousand golden hands.
In shock, Chongning looked at the other Yuan Datou.
At this time, Shen Yunlin had already finished reading the gold Yuan Datou.
Chongning put down the silver ingot and took the gold coin.
This Yuan big head, the front is Yuan's standard head, and the back pattern is the Jiahe pattern of two crossed rice ears, with a circle written in the middle.
However, on the front of this one, in the lower right corner of the head, there is a string of English letters.
This is a signed edition by the Italian engraver Luizi Giorgio.
Louich George was the chief designer and chief engraver of the Tianjin Mint.
This version of the coin is exquisitely embossed, and the pupils of the characters are concave and dotted, which looks brilliant.
This signed edition is a trial coin before the coin is minted.
When it is really batch casting, this string of English will be erased.
Therefore, George's signed coin is extremely rare.
In addition, this is a trial coin of pure gold, which is even rarer, and the general value is more than one million!
Chongning carefully looked at the side teeth, the avatar, and the eyes, and even Yuan's collar.
Every detail is precise.
There are no drawbacks other than brand new.
This Yuan Datou, Chongning's feeling is still wrong.
So, he took the gold coin and quietly urged the gold hand.
Strange!
Chongning's brows frowned slightly, and his head was a little confused.
This time, the results were the same as the silver ingots, still green.
Gold general goods!
What's the situation?
He was a little skeptical that the golden hand was correct.
This Yuan Datou gold coin is unlikely
It's fake.
If it was a fake, there would not be such a delicate carving technique.
The engraving reliefs of the trial coins were designed by Louwich George himself.
Even if it is recast with the real thing, the counterfeit coins will not be so exquisite.
Chongning was a little skeptical.
"Please write down your results on paper."
In the bedroom, voices were heard again.
Li Shengxing took the banknotes from the side and handed them to them separately.
Chongning held a pen and paper, a little hesitant.
I saw that Shen Yunlin was light and light, very confident, and wrote his appraisal opinions on the paper with a smile.
Li Shengxing saw Chongning's hesitation, and reminded: "Brother Chongning, you don't need a very formal appraisal opinion, as long as there is a conclusion."
Shen Yunlin is an appraisal boss, and there are many collectors on weekdays, who come here to let him identify objects.
The format and content of the appraisal report are handy.
Li Shengxing thought that Chongning was making difficulties in format and content, so he kindly reminded him.
Chongning groaned, dilemma, photo or fake?
According to the words of the golden hand, it must be a fake.
But he doesn't know exactly where it's fake.
At this time, Shen Yunlin had already written two appraisal opinions and handed them in.
Li Shengxing looked at Chongning, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't worry, if you're not sure, you can take another look."
The current situation is the same as the exam, at the end, the other students have handed in the papers, and the invigilator says don't worry, the students will definitely be more anxious.
Chongning's heart was horizontal, and he wrote two fake words directly on the paper.
Li Shengxing took it and took a look, his eyes moved slightly, and then handed the two identification results to the bedroom.
The hall was unusually quiet, and there was no movement.
Shen Yunlin is still very confident in his eyesight.
He looked at Chongning and said with a smile, "These gold and silver items are all heavy weapons of the past dynasties, and each of them must be the essence of the essence."
"When it comes to identification, as long as you grasp a fine word, you won't make a mistake."
Shen Yunlin was still quite optimistic about Chongning, so he simply imparted some experience.
Chongning was also very humble and said, "Thank you for the teachings of your predecessors."
After waiting, Li Shengxing walked out of the room.
He smiled, looked at the two of them, and said, "Elder Shen, thank you for your appreciation, I have prepared a few small gifts, which is not a respect."
"Xiaohe, you take Shen Lao to the VIP room first. Brother Chongning and I, we still have something to say."
Assistant Wang Xiaohe answered and said, "Elder Shen, please come here."
Shen Yunlin's face was slightly stunned, he was also an old man, although his words were extremely polite, he gave enough face. z.br>
Still, he sensed that there was something wrong with his results.
Aren't these two things real?
Shen Yunlin looked at the two objects on the tray again.
Silver ingots and gold coins, lying quietly, sparkle with a unique brilliance.
Wang Xiaohe said very respectfully, "Elder Shen, please come here."
Shen Yunlin looked at Chongning again, and suddenly felt a little blushing.
I was giving a lesson to people just now, but my judgment turned out to be wrong.
Li Shengxing left Chongning behind, and it was obvious that his appraisal results were right!
Shen Yunlin answered, and then followed Wang Xiaohe out of the room with a stupid face.
At this time, Chongning, Li Shengxing, and the mysterious old man were left in the room.
