As early as the Xia Dynasty, China began to use animal bones and tortoise shells as coins to exchange for physical objects. In the Shang Dynasty, shells were used as physical currency until the Spring and Autumn Period.After the Spring and Autumn Period, various countries used bronze to cast a large number of different styles of currency in circulation, such as knife coins, shovel coins, round coins, etc., and Qin Shihuang uniformly cast square holes and round coins, which lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.Although every dynasty and every new emperor came to the throne, the previous copper coins would be melted to mint new coins, but so many dynasties changed, and there were countless coins used for burial.It has been handed down to this day, and there are not a few copper coins of various kinds.Look at this market, in front of almost every stall, you can see copper coins piled on the ground.

There was a pile of copper coins piled up in front of the stall owner, and only this Zhining Yuanbao was placed in a box covered with red cloth, which was very conspicuous.It can be seen that the stall owner knows its value.

There are too many copper coins, so in the collection of copper coins, the high-quality goods are the treasures, and the rare is the most precious!Generally, the coins issued by the prosperous dynasty with a large amount are worthless now, and only some ancient coins with rare issues are what collectors are after.

Due to many reasons such as the vicissitudes of time, wars, man-made destruction, and many other reasons, some ancient coins have become rare so far, and there are very few existing ones.

Some are still "orphan products", such as the "Kaiping Tongbao" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the "Shaosheng Chongbao" in the official script of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the "Yongle Tongbao" in the Ming Dynasty; Shu Tong Bao, Da Qi Tong Bao, Liao Dynasty’s Tian Xian Tong Bao, some of which only survive in dozens of pieces, such as the pre-Qin’s “San Kong Bu”, Qi’s “Liu Zi Dao”, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms’ “Tian Ce”. Fubao", "Qianyuan Chongbao" and so on. [

Zhining Yuanbao was collected by Fang Yaoyu, a famous artist in the Republic of China. It is still an orphan and is now in the National Museum.

The so-called Fifty Treasures is the collective name for 50 varieties of rare ancient coins in the Chinese coin collection circle, and people who generally collect ancient coins.If you don't have a few coins of fifty names in your hands, you will be ashamed to say that you are a collector of coins.

Of course, these rare ancient coins have basically entered various museums or have become treasures in the pockets of big collectors, which is rare to see.The chances of buying them at a "leakage" price are almost zero, and it's not that easy to pick them up.

"Hey! Little girl, don't you take a look again! The thin gold characters are clearly visible. You can see that the mouth is deep, the characters are strong, and the beauty of calligraphy is commendable. The appearance is well preserved, and the patina is round. Look at this The black lacquer and rust on the surface of the copper coins make it look old." The stall owner turned into a chatterbox.Continue his trickery. "It hasn't opened yet. If you want it, girl, I'll give you a cheaper price. 3000 yuan. I'm already at a disadvantage."

"Besides, the one that is in stock is in the National Museum. It is impossible to put it up for auction. If you buy it, this is the only one that can be circulated in the world." The stall owner said like that.If you don't buy the whole silly big sister, you won't be able to enjoy such a cheap price.

Fang Monan shook his head and looked at him jumping up and down with a smile, "What you said is hype, you can be sure it is true."

"Hey...this will test your eyesight." The stall owner said with a smile, "Miss, if this Zhining Yuanbao is really not expensive at 3000 yuan, then you can sell it to the auction house. The price is tsk tsk..." He Zaba murmured, "If this is punched, the loss will not be too great. The key is your eyesight, what I said won't work."

In the antique business, in the final analysis, it is all about eyesight.No one comes back to return the product because they think they bought it wrong. First, they feel that they can’t afford to lose this person, and they are afraid that others will know that they have made a mistake;No wonder others can only subscribe to tuition fees.

"You really know how to please!" Fang Monan shook his head and chuckled.Her eyes opened.I can clearly see a trace of the vitality of heaven and earth, it looks like an old imitation, no wonder it is so realistic.

The business of counterfeiting antiques has existed since ancient times.Even the imperial manufacturing office imitated the porcelain of the previous dynasty, but the inscriptions of others clearly stated that they were imitations, but these imitated porcelains have been handed down to this day, and their value has doubled.

The price given by the stall owner is honest, he is based on the price of the old imitation.

"Hehe..." The stall owner had a naive smile on his face. This thing was collected from the ancestral temple in the country and mixed in a pile of copper coins. When he cleaned up these copper coins, he saw it as a treasure!As for the authenticity, he believes it is true. He has had it authenticated. It is hard to say whether it is true or not.So buy it at the roadside stall!Let the buyer identify, hoping to meet someone who is taken advantage of.

It's best if you can sell it at a high price, if you can't sell it, just keep it!Anyway, the copper coins were collected in piles, and it didn't cost much to collect them at that time.

In the antique business, fakes are everywhere, and some old imitations are worth collecting.The key is to see whether the buyer can see it or not!Even if it is genuine, if it cannot meet collectors who want to collect it, then it will be unpopular. Except for the historical research value that they don’t understand, if it cannot be sold overseas, it is worthless in their eyes!But if you meet a collector who wants to collect it, even if it is a fake, it will double its value!Antiques are such a business, that's all!

"How is it? Miss, do you want more?" the stall owner asked again.

A middle-aged man at a booth next to him said, "Second son, it's okay, the little girl has already been put back, so stop nagging." He made it clear that he had already seen it, and he didn't want it no matter if it was true or not.

"Business is not a matter of benevolence and righteousness. Do you have any other ones you like? Everything else here is genuine." The stall owner continued to lobby.

Fang Monan believed what he said, and the other items on the booth were more or less sinister.She shook her head, the evil spirit was too small.Just now, I turned around and took a cursory look at it. There is a powerful weapon with strong evil spirits, but it can't be used as a weapon in hand.

"Hey! Miss, why do you keep shaking your head! What exactly do you want to buy?" The stall owner saw that the person in front of him looked like a buyer, and was really unwilling to let him go. [

Most of them came out of the soil here, Fang Monan wanted to find a weapon that was handy. "Do you have ancient weapons here?"

"How come the little girl likes things like knives and guns." The stall owner muttered, more regretfully, he didn't have what she needed here.

When you come into contact with the antique business, it feels like the four words 'lively, colorfully and fragrant'.It tests concentration, is full of drama, full of murderous intent in peace, and pays attention to playing while enjoying. 'Three years without opening, three years after opening', every entry and exit are big tickets.

The stall owner had a look of pity, even looking for it now, it would not be suitable!This is too unpopular.

There are generally few people in this business, and there are very few people in the market.Because of the issue of authenticity and price, the buyer has to come several times to reach a consensus with the boss. That kind of one-shot deal can only happen if a layman is deceived.The little girl made it clear that she was an expert, but after fooling around for so long, she didn't get involved.So this time the stall owner said honestly, "I don't have that unpopular collection here."

In the collection field, there are not many cold weapon collectors. The reason is that there are too few antique swords and swords on the market.Cold weapons, because they have actual combat functions and are too heavy to kill, are generally regarded as unlucky weapons. In the traditional concept of Chinese people, they are not objects worthy of collection or research.Some of the weapons scattered among the people were refurbished into civilian products, and some types were directly used as agricultural tools. Coupled with years of rust, wear, and damage, especially after liberation, a large number of ancient cold weapons were destroyed due to large-scale steel smelting. , so less and less can survive.

From the theory of large categories of antique collection, including calligraphy and painting, jade, bronze, porcelain, ancient furniture, miscellaneous items, etc., have been recognized by collectors and the market and formed a collection boom, but there is almost no place for cold weapons , even in miscellaneous items, it is a relatively unpopular category.

"Little girl, you are looking for a weapon. I have one in my hand. I don't know if it suits you!" The middle-aged man next to him said, but he didn't take it out.

"Oh!" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows.

The middle-aged man in his 40s persuaded, "Little girl, these ancient weapons, especially those made from the soil, often have too much evil spirit and are not good for your health. I advise you, it is better not to!"

"That's right! Little girl, don't believe this." The young stall owner looked around and muttered in a low voice, "The tombs are all instructed by Feng Shui masters, and most of the things that come out of them have Yin evil."

"Little girl, it's true." The two stall owners nodded in unison.

For the two of them's persuasion, Fang Monan still had a good impression. She raised her eyes and circled the faces of the two of them. They both looked honest and honest.

Fang Monan took a step back and stood on the uncle's stall, "Uncle, you sell quite a lot, but there are some old items..." The things on this stall are clear and distinct, piled up in a corner of the stall It is full of various copper coins, with some bronze wares in the middle, and objects such as jade wares and porcelain scattered around.

Fang Monan could tell that these items were collected from some people, not objects from the soil.It's not like the stalls next to it are all out of the soil, with a sinister atmosphere.Fang Monan looked at the young stall owner and said, "Brother! You'd better charge less for this item, too much will be bad for your health!"

"Thank you! Little girl, to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of such death!" The stall owner replied with a smile.

"Oh!" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and looked at him again. No wonder, she suddenly realized that he had a talisman on him!A jade artifact.

"Think of it as accumulating virtue for your children and grandchildren, and it's better not to touch each other!" Fang Monan kindly reminded.

Although the young stall owner didn't have the breath of death, because of the breath of death, this kind of breath can only be found in people who often go to and from the grave.This kind of death is also a kind of evil spirit, not like the tragic ending of the tomb robber.

Since ancient times, people who have engaged in the business of tomb robbers have rarely had a good death.

And this stall owner specializes in collecting objects in Dou's hands. The evil spirit usually does not cause any harm to people, but when it condenses a lot, when it is old or unlucky, when this evil spirit breaks out, it will be It will make people's fate more miserable.
