Chapter 280: Qian Fan Fakes

All of a sudden, the problem is back to square one.

Chongning thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise, "They have money!"

In ancient times, silver ingots and coins were cast using fan casting.

This casting mold is called Qian Fan, which is popularly called Qian Mold.

The casting of silver ingots is not very complicated.

First, the silver is melted and poured into the iron fan, and the required primary silver ingots can be obtained, commonly known as scooping silver ingots.

After the silver ingot is formed, it is stamped with an iron stamp, and the inscription is smashed, and it is finished.

Generally, counterfeit silver ingots are cast with real silver ingots that flow through the stream.

The fakes created in this way have blurred lines, distorted handwriting, and the most obvious honeycomb marks also look extremely unnatural.

In addition, the purity of the silver is not high, and the silver is black and soft.

Since everyone can distinguish the real from the fake at a glance.

However, there is a miraculous method of fraud, and that is to use money to cast silver.

The money they use is all real! Or the Song Dynasty, or the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were all official money models when silver ingots were minted!

Then, according to the purity ratio at that time, the silver material is prepared.

The purity of old silver ingots is generally around ninety percent six.

The proportional data of each era is the secret technique of the counterfeiting family.

With real money, pour in the correct purity of silver and scoop out the silver ingot.

Then use the real seal of the year to stamp the inscription.

Such a perfect silver ingot was born.

The identification method of old silver ingots is generally to look at two points, honeycomb and inscription.

The formation of honeycomb is due to the pores caused by the shrinkage of the molten silver liquid when the molten silver is poured into the Qian Fan mold.

The inscription on the silver ingot, containing the time, place, purity, and even the name of the craftsman and the person who supervised the creation.

The inscription is directly struck with a steel seal and formed at one time, so the font is straight and the pen is obvious.

Qian Fan's fake silver ingots have exactly the same casting process as real silver ingots, so they all have honeycombs and inscriptions! Z.br>

Strictly speaking, this is a real silver ingot, but the time of minting is different.

However, this kind of fraud still rarely exists.

Qian Fan's molds are basically made of iron, and they are almost worn out and damaged until now, and they are unusable.

If it really exists, it means that they have a complete money mold.

This matter, that is very scary to think about.

In other words, this counterfeiting group has been passed down from generation to generation.

Only with the continuous maintenance of several generations, Qianfan mold will be used normally, complete as new!

Silver ingots can be so fake, and Yuan Datou's fraud is even simpler.

Yuan Da's first-class machine-made coins are all machine-minted, as long as you have the casting machine of the year, it is really a money printing machine.

Chongning guessed the means of counterfeiting the silver ingot, and naturally came up with Yuan Datou's counterfeiting skills.

Li Shengxing's eyes were sharp, revealing an appreciative gaze.

"Brother Chongning, worthy of being the heirs of the Wumen Chong family, can see the root at a glance."

"I consulted many experts and scholars, did a lot of scientific testing, and the final conclusion was that Qian Fan was fake."

Chongning's heart was also shocked, this kind of fraud basically only exists in theory, and it is really in front of him, which is extremely shocking!

These silver ingots and gold coins can be said to be miraculous!

Chongning frowned slightly, a little puzzled, since he had already seen the truth and falsehood, what else did he do with himself?

Li Shengxing also saw Chongning's doubts and said, "If this development continues, the entire antique and numismatic circle will become a pool of stagnant water."

His words are not alarmist.

The numismatic circle is already very niche, and the appearance of fakes of this level in large quantities will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire sector.

Chongning said, "But what can I do?"

Li Shengxing said: "After my many investigations, it is basically certain that these fakes are from the Jiang family."

"They have a complete set of Ming Dynasty money molds, as well as a Yuan Datou coin machine made in the original factory of the United States."

"In the past, they were very cautious in their shipments, and they all shipped one or two pieces."

"I don't know why, there may have been a change in the family, and suddenly it was shipped in large quantities, and this momentum is very strange."

Chongning frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something.

At that time, Jiang Xiangyang, the heir of the Jiang family, was sealed in a submarine tomb, and his life and death were unknown.

Maybe because of this incident, there have been various changes within the Jiang family.

At this moment, Chongning also thought that he had encountered many counterfeit products along the way.

These fakes are so superb that they are impossible to identify by non-top expert masters.

Could it be that these top fakes are all related to the Jiang family?

Li Shengxing looked at Chongning and said, "If this tumor is not removed, there will be endless troubles."

"I hope the Chongning brothers can help me find the Jiang family's counterfeiting den and destroy the Qian Fan mold."

Li Shengxing's thoughts, Chongning understands.

He used to receive a large number of goods and build positions, in order to stabilize investment, and he was most unwilling to see the collapse of the market sector.

If the Jiang family unscrupulously shipped, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the antique circle.

This butterfly effect is extremely terrifying.

It is possible that for a few years, or even a decade, the entire numismatic sector will not be able to come out of the shadows.

The damage caused by such consequences is incalculable.

Li Shengxing's position, although it is not explicitly stated, can be imagined.

One of the counterfeit currencies is worth 100 million, and the reserves of other currencies must be huge.

Chongning smiled bitterly, "I'm just a small antique shopkeeper, Mr. Xiao Li has the means to the sky, my meager strength, I can't help much."

Li Shengxing shook his head and said firmly, "This matter can be done without anyone, but you can't do it."

"So far, you're the only appraiser who can identify all of Jiang's fakes."

"Besides, the Chong family and the Jiang family also have a feud. It's a great fit for you to join our team."

Chongning frowned slightly, "Team?"

Li Shengxing replied and said, "I have formed a team, which is full of elites in various fields, and it is bound to annihilate the Jiang Clan's counterfeiting gang in one fell swoop!"

"Please rest assured that we will not treat you badly."

Chongning has some doubts, this matter still needs to be carefully considered.

The people of the Jiang family are treacherous and insidious, he has been taught.

Their fake nest must also be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, Jiang Xiangyang's fate is unknown, and the forces within the clan are obscure, which adds to the complexity.

Li Shengxing said: "The recruitment of the team is not over yet, and there is still some time before the group sets off."

"Brother Chongning, don't rush to answer me, you can think about it seriously."

"If you have any ideas, feel free to communicate with me."

Chongning answered and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

In the bedroom, the old man suddenly said, "Sheng Xing, give him a Ruili Colorful Card."

Chongning's eyes were stunned, and his heart was suddenly shocked!
