Chapter 542: But it still can't
Tang Yuan had only seen it in the materials provided to him by the auction house, and the last time it appeared was at the World Coin Auction held at the U.S. Imperial California Super Exhibition Hall in 1991, and finally it was successfully hammered for $187,000.
Now, 28 years have passed, and Fengtian has not appeared again, and its value, in the field of numismatic collection, has increased dozens of times.
Now, Tang Yuan saw this legendary silver coin here in Kong Ting Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
The Fengtian one tael owned by Kong Tingshan is rated AU55 according to the international professional appraisal agency, which can be called the best in circulation, and only the excellent quality can receive such a rating.
In fact, the condition of this Fengtian one or two is indeed exquisite, the coin is smooth and smooth, the surface of the slurry is mellow, the mirror surface is smooth and smooth, the word mouth, the texture and the side teeth are deep, the pattern relief sense is strong, the habitual line of the decoration is very clear, and the overall pattern and font are very neat.
The four characters of "Guangxu ingots" in the bead circle on the front of the coin are engraved with the four words of "made in Fengtian Province", the five characters of "one or two of Kuping silver" are engraved below, and the two words of "癸卯" are engraved on the left and right, the casting is exquisite, and the font is handsome.
The back of the money is in English, the center is the dragon picture, the eyes are supernatural and bright, the dragon scales are carved finely and densely, the clouds are driving the fog, the posture is strong and powerful, the dragon claws are flamboyant, the gods are powerful, the dragon sideburns and dragon scales are clearly visible, there is a state of calling out, and it is extremely fine.
The whole silver coin looks really pleasing to the eye.
Tang Yuan took a tael of Fengtian and observed it for a long time before he quietly put it down, and then he picked up a gold coin that looked yellow.
"Kong Lao, this is the sixteenth year of the Republic of China Zhang Zuolin like Wu Shiyuan gold coin?"
"It is rumored that this gold coin, since it appeared in 1971, there have been a total of five, in order of appearance, the third is a national collection, the fifth is the heir of Zhang Zuolin's family, only the first, second, and fourth are missing, I don't know if this gold coin in Kong Lao's hand can be in this, two, and four?"
After Tang Yuan looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but think of the information he had read, since he had strengthened his intelligence to 94, his memory and thinking speed had subtly improved, greatly improved.
He only needs to read a lot of information and texts twice to memorize them, which makes Tang Yuan sometimes sigh that it is no wonder that some people say that the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is sometimes bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.
As it turns out, it does.
Kong Tingshan saw Tang Yuan explain the origin of this gold coin again, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a lot more surprised, and then responded with a smile: "It seems that Tang Xiaoyou has done his homework in advance, this gold coin is the fourth in the list of one, two, and four, and I bought it anonymously at the Hong Kong City Coin Auction in 2008." ”
"I see."
Tang Yuan bowed slightly, so it was right.
The first two gold coins have appeared almost fifty years ago, and the age of Kong Tingshan at that time is estimated to be much different from the current Tang Dynasty, only the time when the fourth gold coin appeared is more consistent with Kong Tingshan.
Tang Yuan carefully looked at the gold coin in front of him, compared to the five gold coins he picked out at the beginning, the gold coin in front of him far surpassed the others in terms of texture and quality, and it was very weighty in his hand.
The surface of this coin is bright and contrasting, with a deep pattern, exquisite carving, and clear linear lines. The front is the portrait of Zhang Zuolin, the character is expressive, the three-dimensional sense is strong, the right side of the portrait on the front has three coin molds irregularly formed by the "prickly heat", which can be used to distinguish the authenticity, the back sees the dragon and phoenix pattern, and the back is engraved with the words "Wu Shiyuan" and "16 years of the Republic of China".
After carefully observing, Tang Yuan silently put it down, and then picked up the third, fourth, and fifth......
By the time all ten coins were finished, it was already an hour later.
When Tang Yuan put down the last coin, he raised his head and looked at Kong Tingshan, his eyes revealing a little inexplicable.
"Tang Xiaoyou, these ten coins are the lifeblood of old decay, so don't fight them."
Tang Yuan's two lives combined, he didn't live as long as Kong Tingshan, what thoughts he had hidden in his heart, he couldn't hide it from Kong Tingshan at all, so before he could speak, the other party took the first step to show his attitude and blocked his mouth.
Tang Yuan smiled and coughed lightly: "Old Kong, I don't want much, just three." ”
"Three?"
"You're not asking me to cut my love, you're letting me cut my flesh!"
"No, no, no, let alone three, not even one!"
When Kong Tingshan heard this, he suddenly blew his beard and glared, and as he spoke, he was about to take away the tray in front of Tang Yuan, his eyes were full of vigilance.
"Don't, don't!"
"Kong Lao, don't worry, let's discuss!"
"What conditions do you have, you just mention it!"
Tang Yuan hurriedly said with a smile, the 100,000 collection value and the billion cash reward of the four-star mission were close at hand, and he had to try to fight for it no matter what.
"Can you mention any conditions?"
"Then you sell me a Ming twenty-four seal, any seal."
Kong Tingshan looked at Tang Yuan's sincere expression on his face, his movements slowed down slightly, and then he said with a smile.
"Forehead ......"
Tang Yuan blinked, and the whole person was directly embarrassed in place, smiling awkwardly and politely, looking very interesting.
Seeing this, Kong Tingshan couldn't help but smile a little more: "Okay, okay, just kidding you, the old man is still a little self-aware, I just gave you all these ten coins, and it is not enough to exchange you for a seal." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Kong, for your understanding."
Tang Yuan said with a wry smile: "The main thing is that the twenty-four seals of the Ming Dynasty are a whole, and they are really indispensable." ”
Kong Tingshan waved his hand, indicating that he could understand, and then he didn't say anything, and after pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he silently served a cup of tea.
Tang Yuan saw Kong Tingshan's posture like this, he was a little uncertain in his heart, he didn't know what the other party meant, he didn't say yes, he didn't say anything, he just didn't say anything, picked up the teacup and imitated Kong Tingshan, silently pouring tea and drinking tea.
Tang Yuan and Kong Tingshan suddenly fell silent, making Lin Xingwan a little confused, not knowing what was wrong with the two of them.
After a long time, Kong Tingshan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, turned his gaze to Tang Yuan again, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Tang Xiaoyou, as long as you can promise me one thing, I will allow you to choose three of the ten coins in front of you at will, and this matter is by no means difficult for you." ”
Tang Yuan saw Kong Tingshan's expression like this, he knew that Kong Tingshan was serious, so he also showed a little solemnity on his face.
"Kong Lao, please tell ......"
