Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

After Chen Yang finished explaining, Qin Haofeng took the copper plate and looked at it. Last time he encountered the Five Emperors' coins, and this time he encountered this sample coin. It seems that this ancient coin is not worthless like those people said. What?

"Brother, how much is this copper plate worth?"

Chen Yang smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand to make a nine sign.Qin Haofeng and Zhuzi's eyes widened, "Brother, just such a copper plate is worth 9000 yuan?"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes at the two of them and pointed at the table with his finger, "What are you thinking about..."

Before Chen Yang could finish what he said, Qin Haofeng patted his chest beside him, "It scared me to death. Just tell me, can such a copper plate be worth a household worth ten thousand yuan?"

"But nine hundred is not bad. We made four hundred yuan for nothing!"

Zhu Zhu pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "Nine thousand is a bit high, but nine hundred is a bit low. It is still a sample coin, and it can be over a thousand."

"Hey!" Chen Yang patted the table and pointed at the two of them, "I said [-]!"

"How much?" Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu looked at Chen Yang at the same time. Qin Haofeng even carefully placed the copper plate on the table and blew on it with his mouth.

Chen Yang pursed his lips and smiled, "You heard it right, I said ninety thousand! You can check it out. In 90, it was mentioned in the ancient coin appreciation guide issued by Gulin Province. I remember it clearly. It says 9 yuan."

My God, isn’t this a huge fortune?I really didn’t expect that a small copper plate could be so valuable.

Qin Haofeng was feeling proud when Zhuzi reached out and took another copper coin in his hand and looked at it carefully. If this one was the same as the one just now, he would really make a lot of money.

Zhuzi looked at it carefully and found that this one was different from the one just now. He put the copper coin on the table and said, "Brother, this copper plate is not from Gulin Province. It says Chubei Construction is written on it. Is this also valuable?"

Hearing what Zhu Zhu said, Qin Haofeng also took the copper coin and looked at it. Sure enough, it was different from the one just now.

"This is a wrong version of the copper coin, which is more valuable than the one just now!" Chen Yang said with a smile, pointing at the copper coin with his hand.

Misprinted coins have always been highly sought after by collectors. In later generations, there was a considerable market for misprinted coins.The reason why many people like to collect misprinted coins is because of their scarcity, but misprinted coins with collection value are simply rare.

Because no matter which dynasty, the probability of wrong printing of coins is almost very small, because it is issued by a national authority, and the probability of errors from typesetting to printing is very small.No matter what the reason is, wrong versions will be corrected promptly after being discovered, so there are very few wrong versions in stock.

Things are rare and valuable. I don’t know since when, misprinted currency has become a collector’s favorite.Many people are unwilling to replace the wrong edition after learning that they have the wrong edition in their hands, and some even collect it as a rarity.

Misprinted ancient coins like this are even rarer, and collectors can hardly be demanding.Chen Yang remembered that around 2010, there was a wrong version of Guangxu Yuanbao, which actually sold at auction for a high price of 430 million yuan.

Of course, the wrong version of the copper plate in front of me will not fetch such a high price even if it is placed in future generations, because there are errors on both the front and back of that model. It can be said that it is one of the very few.

"Brother, where is the wrong printing on this copper plate?" Qin Haofeng asked Chen Yang while looking at the copper plate curiously.

No matter what the reason is, wrong versions will be corrected promptly after being discovered, so there are very few wrong versions in stock.

Chen Yang took the copper coin in his hand and showed them the front side first, "Look carefully, this is the front side, printed with Guangxu Yuanbao, surrounded by a bead ring, with 'Chubei Construction' printed on the top, and the value text printed below 'When it's ten', it means that the face value of this copper coin is ten cents."

Having said this, Chen Yang turned the copper coin over and said, "This is the back. There is a picture of a flying dragon in the center and a bead ring on the outside. This is no problem."

"The biggest problem is here," Chen Yang said as he stood the copper coin up on the table. "Look carefully at the front and back. The Guangxu Yuanbao on the front and the pattern on the back are misaligned by 90 degrees counterclockwise, so this is a wrong coin. Copper coins of this size are absolutely rare.”

After Chen Yang said this, Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu noticed that the pattern on the front and back of the copper plate was asymmetrical, and it was indeed misplaced as told to Chen Yang.

After Qin Haofeng finished reading it, he put up the copper coin made by Gu Lin just now. After careful observation, he found that the front and back patterns of the copper coin made by Gu Lin were symmetrical.

"Here, this is the first time I've seen it. It's so amazing!" Qin Haofeng said in surprise, "This is the first time I know that the front and back patterns are symmetrical. I thought I could just design them casually!"

Chen Yang laughed when he heard this, "Dangdou, are you kidding me? How can the currency in circulation be randomly designed? The front and back of any coin are symmetrical. If you don't believe me, find a dime coin and compare it. .”

Qin Haofeng ran to the counter and took out a dime coin. He measured it carefully and found that the patterns on the front and back were really symmetrical.

"Brother, is there another possibility," Zhu Zhu asked from the side, "Maybe this is not a wrong version, but a counterfeit currency at that time?"

After listening to Zhu Zhu's question, Qin Haofeng curled his lips next to him, "Zhu Zhu, what did you just listen to? Brother Yang just finished saying that the copper plates that began to appear in the 15th year of Guangxu's reign represent the change from the era of manual casting to the era of machine casting. Is it still possible to fake it? You don’t have to use your brain!”

Zhu Zhu rolled his eyes at Qin Haofeng and said, "You're not using your brain! It's precisely because the era of machine coinage has just begun that workers who hand-minted coins have an opportunity. What if counterfeit coins were made at that time, would people at that time be able to tell the difference?"

Qin Haofeng wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Chen Yang, "It's not impossible as Zhu Zhu said. The main material for the casting of copper coins at that time was red copper, and other materials accounted for a fairly small proportion."

"Let's look at this copper coin. In terms of materials, materials, and craftsmanship, especially the craftsmanship, it mainly depends on the depth of the printing. They are almost the same, so it should be a regular issue, just a wrong version."

Hearing what Chen Yang said, the two of them nodded.Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu continued to bicker. Seeing the two bickering, Chen Yang smiled softly, picked up the teacup on the table and drank some water.

"Brother, the one just now is worth [-], what about this wrong version? Is it more expensive?" Qin Haofeng asked anxiously.

Chen Yang pouted, it was really hard to say this.

"Let me tell you this, I estimate the price to be more than [-]. But the wrong version of the ancient coin, we have to wait for the right person to sell it at the right price."

Having said this, Chen Yang handed the two copper coins to Qin Haofeng's hand, "Jangdou, you put the ones built by Gu Lin on the counter, and keep the ones built by Chu Bei. We don't know when we will meet a buyer. If we can buy it, If you hold it in your hands for ten years, you might be able to make millions!”

Millions!After listening to Chen Yang's words, Qin Haofeng's hands trembled and he almost threw them to the ground.

"Millions? Oh my God!"

"Brother, let's save it for ten years!"
