Country best ambiguous

After he finished speaking, he handed the copper coin in front of me again, and I was just about to reach out to take it: "...wait a minute" he took it back again, with a solemn expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him happily.

"Let me take a closer look." It can be seen that he was very cautious, took out the magnifying glass on the table, carefully studied the writing on the copper coin, and finally put it on an electronic scale to weigh it repeatedly.

"This copper coin is fake..." he finally said with certainty.

"Oh," I echoed.

"But to be precise, it should be a counterfeit coin from the Ming Dynasty, which has existed for more than 600 years."

"What?" I almost passed out.

"That's not right...Master!!" Suddenly, the man seemed to be crazy, shouted pale, and trembled uncontrollably.

"Are you okay?" I asked cautiously.

Who knew that man had no time to take care of me, he just stared at the copper coin in his hand and muttered to himself: "Impossible... Impossible... What's going on?"

"Master!!" His voice became louder again.

"What's the matter?" After a long time, an old man with a gray beard finally walked out from the inside. He looked like he was seven or eighty years old, and he couldn't hear very clearly, but he looked like a fairy on the outside. , which makes people awe-inspiring.

"What's the matter? Xiao Zhao?" The visitor smiled at me and asked without any haste.

I almost coughed, his apprentice is at least 40 years old, and his name is Xiao Zhao? ?

"Master, look... look, what's going on... this copper coin..." The man was too excited to say a complete sentence.

"Oh?!" The old man took it in doubt, held it in his hand, and suddenly his face became serious, and then he showed an inconceivable expression.

I feel more and more that this 'Hongwu Tongbao' is abnormal.

"Master, is there something weird?" The man finally calmed down a bit, and asked the old man.

The old man waved his hand without answering, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the copper coins in his hand. , After a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyes flashed brightly: "Little brother, where did you get this 'Hongwu Tongbao' from?"

"It was passed down from my ancestors, what's the matter?" I asked back.

"This Hongwu Tongbao is too weird. Although it is a fake, it is an ancient relic, and it has existed for at least a thousand years."

I don't know what the old man meant by saying this. Are counterfeit coins from thousands of years ago very valuable?

Seeing my puzzled expression, the old man explained again: "Hongwu is the year name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the first year of Hongwu is 1368 AD."

What is this, popularizing history for me?Just as I was about to ask, my brain froze: Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor only 600 years ago, yet a Hongwu Tongbao from 1000 years ago appeared here. Just kidding me.

"That's right, this Hongwu Tongbao has been handed down for thousands of years, at least before the Yuan Dynasty,"

Hey, what is the concept of an ancient coin from the Ming Dynasty appearing in the Yuan Dynasty?

"Old man, could it be a fake? Now that the technology is so advanced, maybe it's made by fake people." Now there is only one explanation, and I finally sorted out my thoughts a little bit.

"No," the old man stubbornly shook his head: "My specialty is the study of ancient coins, I will tell you my little brother, my coin checking method is a secret method handed down from my ancestors, and there is no counterfeit that can escape my eyes. The most brilliant cost method in the world is to soak the counterfeit in corpse oil. Although it can be imitated perfectly, it must be known that ancient coins will generally have an ancient meaning as they survive or are buried underground for a longer time. It cannot be imitated."

What the old man said is mysterious, but I have seen someone summed up similar things before. Most of the older generation do not use instruments to identify cultural relics, because they are more willing to trust their intuition than the current tools. This intuition is long-term Developed by soaking in the pile of cultural relics, it is rare to make mistakes.
