Chapter 690 Big Dipper Tortoise and Snake Sword
A simple man said that his things are good, which is to sell flowers and praise the fragrance of flowers, and has no reference value.
"Brother, I will have to see if the things are good or not." Fang Yuan chuckled and said, "If it is convenient, take out the things and show them to me, and I will help you with an assessment."
"Uh..." The simple man hesitated for a moment, then reached into his close pocket and carefully took out the thing, but hesitated and placed it on the table.
Fang Yuan took the opportunity to look at it and found that the thing was a coin, a square hole copper coin. After a closer look, he found that the copper coin was a bit dirty, with a layer of mud on the surface that had not been wiped clean, and it seemed that it had just come from the ground.
It looks like it was dug out soon.
"That's it." The simple man pushed the copper coins in front of Fang Yuan and said nervously: "The big and heavy copper coins are definitely good things, valuable antiques..."
"Wait." Fang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Brother, do you know what this store sells?"
"Isn't it an antique?" The simple man looked confused.
Fang Yuan suddenly laughed and explained kindly: "Brother, this is not an antique shop, but a magic weapon shop."
"Why isn't it?" the simple man said anxiously: "Didn't there be a lot of copper coins hanging in this store?"
"...It's different." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The copper coins in the store are antique copper coins. Then they are sent to the temple to consecrate, and they will become magic tools for praying for blessings and eliminating disasters. If your copper coins are really the ancestors,
The things uploaded are ancient coins. You have to go to the antique shop next door to sell them."
After Fang Yuan's suggestion, the simple man understood what was going on. He hurriedly put away the copper coin and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, leave immediately..."
The simple man was very embarrassed, so he bowed and left in a hurry.
Fang Yuan smiled and continued to drink tea, but after only half an hour, he saw the simple man just now wandering around the door of the store, looking embarrassed to come in.
"Hmm?" Fang Yuan was stunned and walked out and asked, "Brother, is there anything wrong?"
Fang Yuan's gentle attitude made the simple man find the organization all at once and cried: "Brother. You don't know. The owner of the antique shop selling things next door is really not a thing..."
"Uh?" Fang Yuan was stunned and said in confusion: "How do you say this?"
"According to your instructions, I went to the next door to find a shop and asked them if they would collect things. They said they would collect things and asked me to show them the things." The simple man said indignantly: "I showed them the things,
But they said that things were not good and were only willing to pay a few dozen dollars to buy them. It was obvious that they were going to cheat me."
"Brother, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, please say it slowly." Fang Yuan instructed his hand: "Go in and have a cup of tea to calm down."
Fang Yuan brought a simple man to the tea room, poured a cup of tea, and then asked after a few words of relief, "Brother, you have to know that the price of antiques is inversely proportional to the amount of existence.
It is an ancient currency. The more the amount of money it has, the smaller the price it has. If it is a sparse quantity, the price will be higher."
"Even if the things you have in your hands are antiques, it is normal that you can't sell them at a high price because there are too many remaining quantities."
Fang Yuan suggested: "Of course, it is not ruled out that someone cheats you. However, there is a book shop nearby, and there are some books about ancient coins in the bookstore. The books should have the market price of ancient coins of all dynasties. You hold the coins.
If you compare it, there will definitely be no mistakes.”
"No need to be so troublesome. You are a honest guy, little brother. Just help me see." The simple man showed a honest smile, then took out the thing and handed it to Fang Yuan.
"The problem is that I don't know much about ancient coins, so it's hard to identify them." Fang Yuan hesitated, but the simple man handed the things in front of him, so he took them down.
When Fang Yuan started to look, he found that this coin was obviously different from ordinary ancient coins. Generally speaking, the weight of ancient copper coins is not very heavy, and the quality is even more uneven.
If the dynasty economy is stable, the copper content of the coins will be higher and the weight will be lower. If the dynasty's economy is not good and deducted layer by layer, the coins will have no quality, so they will naturally be very light and thin.
In the end of the world, when the situation is in corruption, the quality of coins is even worse, and it has reached the point where it is as thin as paper and can be scrapped.
When ordinary people get such money, they must spend it as soon as possible. This is the beginning of bad money chasing good money.
This is a distraction. At this time, Fang Yuan looked at the coins in his hand, but was surprised to find that the coin was very heavy and the area was larger than that of ordinary coins. After carefully erasing the mud on the coin, a touch of moistening a touch of slight moistening after carefully wiping out the mud on the coin
The golden luster appears.
Seeing this luster, Fang Yuan knew that the coins had a high copper content and no impurities, and it might be pure copper.
Fang Yuan looked again and found that the coins were not only of good quality, but also the words and patterns on the coins were also different from the general ancient circulating currencies. After looking at them, he could basically confirm that this was spending money.
Strictly speaking, spending money is the nature of commemorative coins, with some special functions, but it is not a circulating currency. Moreover, because the variety of spending money is too wide, the market price is definitely not easy to position, so it is no wonder that the antique shop owner is unwilling to
Offer a high price to acquire.
Unfortunately, there are many mud marks on the coins, and the text and patterns are not clear.
Fang Yuan thought for a while, then took out a towel under the coffee table, and then gently wiped the coins that were stained with dirt. After a moment, the coins were completely renewed and the golden luster became more and more obvious and shining.
At first glance, Fang Yuancai was surprised to find that the words on the coin were actually seal script. After some identification, he could barely figure out the meaning.
"Pray to heaven and prolong life!" Fang Yuan blinked his eyes, his fingers moved his fingers skillfully, turning the coin to the other side. If the text belongs to the front of the coin, then on the back of the coin, there is a very meaningful pattern.
The patterns include turtles, snakes, seven-star chains, and two crossed long swords.
"Big Dipper Seven Stars Turtle and Snake Sword!" Fang Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and then his heart moved. He put the coins on the tip of his thumb, and then bounced them with the flow, and the coins immediately rolled in the air.
At this moment, Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening with his ears, and as if he was feeling it with his heart. Just as the coins were falling in the air, his palms opened and stretched out, and the coins fell steadily in his palm.
"Bang!"
The coins were stuffed with meat, and there was a slight sound. Fang Yuan opened his eyes and turned to look at the simple man: "Brother, is your coin really passed down from his ancestors?"
"Of course." The simple man vowed and patted his chest and said, "It's absolutely not fake."
Fang Yuan stopped talking and returned the coins to the simple man. After he gently tapped the coffee table with his fingers, he seemed to be thinking about something.
The simple man couldn't help but asked quickly: "Brother, how is this thing? Is it valuable?"
"...This thing can be called a priceless treasure." Fang Yuan said softly, while the simple man showed an ecstatic expression, his speech suddenly changed: "But it's worth it."
"What does it mean?" The simple man's smile froze, his expression a little annoyed, feeling that Fang Yuan was teasing him.
"Brother, don't worry, listen to me finish my words." Fang Yuan raised his glass and drank a sip of tea, and explained slowly: "Brother, first of all, you have to figure out that the coin in your hand is a cost of money... Also called
I hate money or Feng Shui money."
"In ancient times, whether it was emperors, generals, or ordinary people, they liked to spend money, or spread it to the corners of their house, wear it for children, or give it to others as gifts, so as to seek good luck, and hope to have a good life
Lottery…”
Fang Yuan talked freely: "Most of these money contains beautiful meanings, has strong Feng Shui purposes, and represents a kind of hope of the ancients. It must be priceless treasures. However, from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, these two
After more than a thousand years of time, there are too many coins to be minted, so much that they can’t count them at all, so the value is naturally not high.”
"So that's how it is." The simple man smiled, unable to hide his disappointment.
"Brother, this coin is actually good, it has the value of collecting it." Fang Yuan persuaded: "It's good to keep it well and keep it for yourself to watch and play with it."
"Oh." The simple man nodded, suddenly took out another thing in his arms and took out something: "Brother, look at it again, how is this thing?"
"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned, glanced at him, and saw the simple man taking out another coin, but this coin was even more special, and it turned out to be of white jade.
At this time, when the store lights shine, the jade coins immediately emit a crystal luster, which is very exquisite and beautiful.
"This is...the jade coin!" Fang Yuan glanced at it and was also surprised.
"Brother, please help me take a look." The simple man handed over the jade coin and said shyly: "Is this thing really made of jade? If it is really made of jade, isn't the coins made of copper? How come there is still jade?
”
"Well, I'll take a look first." Fang Yuan took the jade coin and looked carefully, and found that the shape of the jade coin was exactly the same as that of ancient copper coin. It was both round and had square holes in the middle, symbolizing the roundness of the sky.
After studying the material of the coins, it is indeed jade-like, and is carved from a whole piece of jade. However, it may be that after being buried under the ground for a long time, mud has penetrated into the interior of the jade coins, which has some of the effects. However, the opposite is true.
Let’s talk about it, these muds are also evidence to judge the age of jade coins.
On both the front and back sides of the jade coin, there are also texts. The texts are correct and beautiful small calligraphy, which can be easily identified by Fang Yuan.
"Yongzheng Tongbao, the world is peaceful!" Fang Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking: "Brother, this thing should be palace money."
"Pretty money?" The simple man said in a daze: "What is the palace money?"
"Palace coins are a type of money spent." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "However, since palace coins were cast by the emperor's special order, they are used for auspicious celebrations, evil spirits, appreciation, and wearing. They are generally only used in the palace or rewarded to ministers.
