The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Yun Zhou used a soft brush to remove the dirt and floating rust on it, then found a carving knife from the toolbox, and planned to test the adhesion of the copper rust first.

Like some hard patinas, although some of them form lumps and cover the entire money body, they are not firmly attached. Use a simple tool to aim at the bottom of the rust block and gently scrape it to peel off the rust block.

The young man lowered his head, his thin back was slightly bent, and his arms showed a little smooth muscle line due to the force, which was very beautiful.

He fixed the copper coin with one hand, and held the engraving knife with the other hand to find the connection between the rust block and the copper coin. Holding his breath, he gently pried it little by little with the tip of the knife.

The engraving knife is not as thin as ordinary blades. The edge of the knife is relatively thick, flat and a bit 'blunt'. When used, it will not be so sharp that it will hurt the ancient coins.

Yun Zhou didn't dare to use force at all when he was prying it, he only used "cleverness" to pry the rust on it, with a serious expression, and the movements of his fingertips were subtle and gentle, for fear of damaging the money body.

After 2 minutes, he raised his head, quickly adjusted his disordered breathing, and frowned at the copper rust on the coins.

This method really doesn't work.

Probably due to the long time and improper preservation, the rust on the top has been firmly stuck to the coins, which cannot be removed by simply scratching, and other methods must be found.

He put the chapter knife back into the toolbox.

In fact, in addition to this method, there are vinegar soaking, boiling water soaking, boiling and so on.

The vinegar soaking method is to soak the coins in the diluent of glacial acetic acid for an hour, then gently touch the ancient coins with a small wooden stick, and then gently scrub with a brush after the rust is scattered, finally wash off the acetic acid solution, and absorb it with a towel Drain off moisture and place on paper to dry.

The boiling water soaking method is to put the coins into the container, then pour boiling water at 80-90 degrees, soak for 5 minutes, then use a small brush to scrub the coins, remove rust and dry in the shade. ①

The poaching method is similar to the boiling water soaking method, except that continuous heating is required during the process.

These methods are very practical, and they are also the treatment methods for most ancient coins, but it is difficult to eradicate stubborn harmful rust, and improper operation can easily damage coins, so careful consideration is required.

Yun Zhou reached out and touched the texture of the coin. It was severely oxidized and a little brittle, and it might not be able to withstand such cleaning.

The best way for this kind of copper coin is to isolate it from other copper coins, and don't move it lightly, so as not to cause greater damage.

He once saw a blogger collecting ancient coins who wanted to forcibly remove the massive patina on the ancient coins. As a result, he poked several holes in the ancient coins and finally scrapped them completely.

Another kind is that copper coins with harmful rust are accidentally put together with other coins. After a period of time, it is found that all copper coins are infected with this harmful rust, which cannot be removed at all.

Yun Zhou looked down at the "Yongle Tongbao Back Three Coins" in his hand, which could not see the money text clearly, and gently fiddled with the thick rust on it with his fingers, thinking in a daze: I am afraid that the 3000 yuan this time will not be returned. coming.

No one will collect an ancient coin that cannot be seen clearly, has extremely poor quality and cannot be identified as authentic.

I can only keep it by myself.

Yun Zhou sighed softly, this result was also within his expectation.

I don't know if the old lady has overcome the difficulties after receiving the money?

If so, it's not too bad.

Thinking of this, the young man was still a little depressed, and even thought about whether he should try the methods just now, in case the rust could be removed?

The relatives are staring at each other, and he has no intention of collecting ancient coins now.

When he was hesitating, the little jade dragon on his wrist reappeared, shook the silver scales on his body, opened his mouth and yawned, as if he had just slept enough.

It coiled around Yunzhou's wrist, raised its head and looked curiously at the frowning human being in front of him.

Xiao Yulong looked at Yunzhou and then at the coin in his hand, tilted his head in confusion, and made a small milky voice: Aww~~

Yun Zhou stroked the icy scales on its body back and forth to relieve the restlessness in his heart.

Little Yulong's body was softened by his touch, he patted his wrist with the tip of his tail, and yelled at Yun Zhou in a childish voice: "Wow (don't frown)——"

Seeing that the human's gaze was always on the copper coin in his hand, Xiao Yulong flicked his tail violently, leaned out and bit the copper coin in his hand.

Yun Zhou:?

He saw the bright saliva flowing out of the little jade dragon's wide-open mouth, and the transparent liquid flowed and flowed, covering the coins wider than its body.

No, it's not appropriate to call it saliva, it should be called 'precious dragon's saliva'.

Yunzhou: ...

Is this too hungry to cause hunger?Going to eat rusty coins.

However, he soon discovered that there were a few silver scales on Yulong's body that shone, and then faded quickly. Instead, the rust on the copper coins continued to peel off under the restoration of the spiritual energy, gradually revealing the beautiful and neat Qian Wen.

Yunzhou:! ! !

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, it turns out that Xiao Yulong's dragon saliva has this effect, it's really amazing!

The spiritual energy absorbed before dripped on the coin along with the crystal clear saliva, and the thick copper rust fell off in a short time, and the ancient coin gradually returned to its original appearance.

The original rusty copper coins only have a thin layer of green rust on the surface, and they have achieved the real "Qingying Xiacui", which is of great ornamental value and is not inferior to the handed down Huangliang products.

Both the front and the back of Qian Wen are also fully exposed, clear and neat, and in excellent condition.

Seeing that the ancient coin had been repaired, Xiao Yulong immediately spat out the copper coin aggrieved, tilted his head and retched several times, curled up with a look of lovelessness.

Woohoo, this stuff really stinks QAQ

Yun Zhou took it to the sink, stretched his wrist under the faucet, and as the water gushed out, Xiao Yulong twisted his body and cleaned his mouth, then shook his body for a long time and sprayed water on his face.

"It's really thanks to you today, thank you." Yun Zhou wiped off the water droplets on his face indifferently, raised his left wrist to be at the same level as his eyes, and there was a slight smile in his curved eyes, as if there was a smile on his face. Starlight is reflected in it.

The two small dragon horns of the little Yulong trembled, and gave him a childish whimper, shyly wrapping his dragon tail around his wrist, even the white scales on his body were dyed pink, Then it turned into a phantom and disappeared.

so cute.

Yun Zhou stroked his wrist with a smile, and after a while, he picked up the copper coins on the table and examined them carefully.

The size of this Yongle Tongbao back three coins is larger than that of ordinary Xiaoping coins. It is made of thick copper. The money text on it has been fully exposed. The front is written in four-character regular script of "Yongle Tongbao", from top to bottom, from right to left Direct reading, exquisite casting, neat and uniform, Qian Wenxiuyi, very exquisite.

On the back, on the right, the word "three coins" is on par with Qian Guo, the character "three" is thick, and the word "qian" is thick, which is the shape of "Yongle Tongbao carrying three coins". ②

At present, apart from the "Yongle Tongbao Backing Three Coins" with missing corners in the Shanghai Museum, there is no second authentic product recognized by the public.

If this copper coin is real, it will definitely have a very high collection value, and it will even cause a sensation among the entire ancient coin collectors!

Yun Zhou carefully put it in the special coin plastic box, full of joy in his heart.

He had a good night's sleep that night, even smiling in his sleep.

After he fell asleep, a thick black mist rolled in from the window and turned into a tall figure beside the bed. He looked at the boy on the bed for a long time before leaving.

***

The first bank.

Boss Huang's eyes lit up when he saw the young man with clear eyebrows entering the door, and he immediately went up to him.

The last few sets of Five Emperors coins were sold out quickly, and with the two rare coins collected by Mr. Ge, this young man has brought him a lot of income.

Those Yuan Datou are naturally not worried about selling them, but he plans to wait. The silver coins of the Yuan Datou series have appreciated rapidly in recent years, and may double next year.

"Young man, what good things did you bring this time?" Boss Huang rubbed his hands with excitement in his eyes.

Yunzhou first took out the Kangxi Tongbao Luohan coin.

"Oh, it's Arhat money?" Boss Huang fiddled with it a few times, and with a flick of his finger, the coin made a crisp sound, like the rhyme of gold and stone, not dull like the counterfeit coin.

He nodded, and took out his calipers and magnifying glass to take a closer look.

Compared with ordinary Xiaoping money, Luohan money is very different from copper and Qian Wen.for example:

Luohan coins are of excellent copper quality, with rounded outlines, clean and tidy piercings, and strong strokes in Qianwen. They are rare treasures in Baoquan Bureau.

As for Qian Wen, the "Tong" of "Kangxi Tongbao" in Luohan Qian is "YiDianTong", and the word "Xi" is missing a vertical line on the left. Those who have some knowledge of copper coins can tell the difference, there is nothing to say.

However, Luohan money is a kind of birthday money minted on Emperor Kangxi's 60th birthday. The circulation is much less than that of ordinary Xiaoping money, which leads to its higher price, and there are endless imitations on the market.

Some unscrupulous traders use the method of digging and reforming, digging out the left side of the word "Xi" from the "Kangxi Tongbao" money of the ordinary "Baoquan" Bureau, and use it as Luohan money.

In fact, as long as the leftmost point of the four points below the word "Xi" deviates, you can determine whether it is a fake.

As an experienced veteran, Boss Huang quickly judged that the arhat coin was genuine, and said with a smile, "I'm not being polite anymore. It is indeed a genuine Kangxi Tongbao arhat coin. I will pay [-] yuan for it."

The price was higher than Yunzhou estimated, so he naturally had no objection.

However, Boss Huang was a little disappointed. Did this young man only bring one Luohan coin?

Although Luohan Qian is also a special version of Kangxi Tongbao, it is not particularly rare, alas.

Just as he was about to transfer money, he found that the boy took out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a plastic box containing coins.After carefully checking it, he put it on the counter and slowly pushed it over with his slender fingers.

"Boss Huang, take a look at this."

Looking at the other party's cautious movements, Boss Huang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't see the boy treat the two rare copper coins like this last time. Could this be some rarer version?

Immediately took over the plastic box containing the coins, glanced at the size, and found that it was a circle larger than other copper coins!Looking at Qian Wen who was facing the front again, he was stunned, this, this is Yongle Tongbao!

Oh my god, no, it wouldn't be the one he thought of, would it? ?

The author has something to say:

Happy Double Eleven everyone (*^▽^*)

small theater:

Little Yulong: Drooling (?﹃?).

Yunzhou: catch it.

Little Yulong:?

The poor emperor is just a cloud of black mist without a face, hahaha (sarcastic laugh.jpg).
