Chapter 542 Gold Coins (Additional updates for the apprentices who live in the leader’s home)
Two minutes later, Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan followed Kong Tingshan in the elevator and descended to the safe house ten meters underground.

The light is bright and the air is still fresh.

Entering the safe house, you will be greeted by a wall covered with countless coins, which looks very shocking.

"Little friend Tang, what do you want to see about banknotes, ancient coins, and coins?"

Kong Tingshan asked Tang Yuan while walking.

"Mr. Kong, I'm more interested in coins."

Tang Yuan didn't hesitate and responded directly with a smile.

Paper money, ancient money, and coins basically cover all coins. Because coins include gold coins, silver coins, commemorative coins, and machine-made coins, the overall value of coins is much higher than paper money and ancient money.

If Tang Yuan wants to collect treasure-grade and heirloom-grade coins, he can only choose from coins. It is difficult to find coins that meet Tang Yuan's standards among coins and ancient coins.

After Kong Tingshan received Tang Yuan's response, he responded with a smile, and then walked towards the safe house with Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan.

After turning three turns in succession, Kong Tingshan came to a house with a verification device also installed on the door.

After the identity verification was successful, Kong Tingshan walked in first, followed closely by Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan.

This room is about 40 square meters, with a tea table and sofa in the center, and independent safes in the four corners.

"You guys sit down for a moment and I'll bring you some hard goods."

After Kong Tingshan settled Tang Yuan and the two of them, he walked towards the safe while talking.

Tang Yuan responded, then turned his gaze to Lin Xingwan beside him: "How is it? Do you find it interesting?"

"I just got off the elevator, and I felt like we were playing 007." Lin Xingwan's beautiful eyes flashed: "You and I came here today, it was really eye-opening."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly: "As long as you don't feel bored."

While the two were talking, Kong Tingshan sat directly opposite Tang Yuan holding a tray. Dozens of coins were placed on the tray. Each coin was covered with a protective shell made of transparent material, and there was a coin rating label affixed to the upper left corner. Looks very professional.

While selecting tea leaves, Kong Tingshan said to Tang Yuan: "These coins are the best in my personal collection. Let's take a look at them for now, and we will exchange them for a batch later."

"Mr. Kong, let me make tea."

Lin Xingwan, who was sitting next to Tang Yuan, immediately stood up and said after seeing Kong Tingshan's actions.

When Kong Tingshan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Lin."

"No trouble."

After Lin Xingwan saw Tang Yuan's encouraging eyes, she felt confident. After taking the initiative to take the tea leaves from Kong Tingshan's hand, she skillfully operated the tea table.

Tang Yuan glanced at the tray in front of him, and he picked up a gold coin placed at the top. The front of this gold coin showed Yuan Shikai's portrait, the back was a beautifully carved flying dragon, and the top of the coin was printed with "Republic of China" in traditional Chinese. Character.

The appearance is perfect and the casting is profound.

It has to be said that Kong Tingshan's heritage is indeed rich. The quality of the gold coin that Tang Yuan picked up at random is enough to rank among the top 18 treasure-grade coins in Tang Yuan's collection.

The upper left corner of the protective shell of this gold coin is marked with the words Yuan Shikai's 1916 gold coin of the Hongxian Era of the Chinese Empire. After observing carefully for a moment, Tang Yuan put it down gently and picked up another gold coin. Only then did Tang Yuan realize that the coins Kong Tingshan gave him were all gold coins.

The front of this gold coin also had a human portrait, but the recognition was not as high as that of Yuan Shikai. Tang Yuan did not recognize it at first glance. He looked up at the mark in the upper left corner and realized that the person was Xu Shichang.

Turn it over, and in the middle of the back is an engraving of Renshou Tongdeng. The top is marked "September, the 10th Year of the Republic of China" and the bottom is marked "Commemorative Coin".

The overall appearance is also perfect and the portrait is profound, which is very rare.

Tang Yuan kept observing each gold coin.

After Lin Xingwan finished pouring tea, she returned to Tang Yuan and watched with him, while Kong Tingshan was drinking tea by himself, looking quite leisurely and contented.

"Tang Yuan, I see that there are letters and numbers behind the markings on the upper left side of these coins. Does this have any meaning?"

Lin Xingwan watched for a while, couldn't help but be curious, and asked Tang Yuan in a low voice.

When Tang Yuan heard this, he picked up a gold coin with Cao Kun printed on the front, and the words AU62 behind the mark. He explained softly: "These letters and numbers represent the judgment of the coin's appearance by the international numismatic professional organization. , and in the international currency rating system, the quality of coins is divided into three categories, namely fine products, uncirculated products, and circulating products.”

"The gold coin in my hand is marked AU62 on the back, which means that it is a gold coin in the circulation category. The degree of wear is close to that of an uncirculated gold coin. The quality is at the top level in the circulation category."

"As for the number following it, it represents its condition. The numbers range from 3 to 70. The higher the number, the better the condition of the coin. Take the coin in front of you as an example. Its rating is AU62. The price may be ten times or even a hundred times that of coins of poor quality and identical to his.”

Tang Yuan's voice was very soft, using the coins in his hand as an example, and briefly explained to Lin Xingwan. The gentleness and patience revealed in his eyebrows made the soft light in Lin Xingwan's eyes become much richer.

"Coin grading is very complicated. If you are interested, you can use your mobile phone to search for relevant knowledge. Then you will have more fun looking at these coins."

Tang Yuan whispered to Lin Xingwan again.

"Ok."

Lin Xingwan nodded and signaled Tang Yuan to continue watching.

The total number of coins in front of him was about thirty or more. It took Tang Yuan about twenty minutes to read them one by one. At the same time, he roughly divided the coins in front of him into two categories.

Raising his head again, Tang Yuan looked at Kong Tingshan, pointed to the six gold coins on his right, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, may I ask if you can give these six gold coins to me?"

"Don't be anxious, let me see what you have chosen..."

Kong Tingshan put down his tea cup and put on his reading glasses. He stood up and sat down not far from Tang Yuan. He picked up the six gold coins that Tang Yuan selected and looked through them one by one.

Finally, Kong Tingshan took out a gold coin, pushed the other five gold coins back to Tang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Tang Xiaoyou, except for this gold coin in my hand, I can give you the other five gold coins as long as the price is right." for you."

"Mr. Kong, why can't I use that gold coin?"

Tang Yuan was a little curious and asked with a smile.

"Because this gold coin is an orphan here, and I have backups of the other five gold coins, so I will give them to you."

The reason given by Kong Tingshan was so simple that Tang Yuan couldn't help but feel dumb...
