Chapter 153 Fifty Treasures of Ancient Coins——Apocalypse Tongbao
"This... luck is better, there is no way."

Zhou Yafang didn't know how to answer Sikong Zhe at first, but for some reason, the excuse of "good luck" that Fang Ming often used before popped up in her mind, so she blurted it out.

Sikong Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head after realizing it, and said, "Come on, let's just say that you are lucky."

Jiang Wen walked over slowly, still with an unbelievable expression on her face, and said softly, "Brother Fang Ming, did I really miss it? You didn't mean to make me happy, did you?"

"Hey, then you can ask Mr. Sikong if he wants these three copper coins worth 15 yuan."

When Si Kongzhe heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and without waiting for Jiang Wen to ask, he said directly, "Yes, 15 idiots don't want it."

The three copper coins in front of me are not only rare to see, but the most important thing is that they are in good condition, 15 coins can be said to be half sold and half given away, Sikong Zhe would be a fool if he didn't.

"I wonder if I can take a look at these three copper coins?"

Suddenly, an old man with white beard and hair stepped out from the crowd. His face was as red as a doll's. Although he was not tall, he gave people a thick feeling. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but he gave people a feeling of being hard. A feeling that can be described in words.

"Old Feng, why are you here?"

Si Kongzhe suddenly called out in a low voice, he knew the old man in front of him, so he immediately said to Ming Zhou Yafang, "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Feng Yun, who is also a senior in our collection circle."

"Mr. Feng, this is Fang Ming, and this is Zhou Yafang. They are all colleagues of ours. They have their shop in Little Antique Street, called Guxuanzhai."

Feng Yun was straightforward, waved his hand, and said, "I'll talk about other things later, let me look at these three coins first, my hands are itchy."

"OK!"

Fang Ming also laughed when he heard it, thinking that Feng Yun's personality should also be a generous old man.

Si Kongzhe was also happy, and handed the copper coins in his hand to Feng Yun - the other party was an expert in collecting copper coins, and of course he was also a "money idiot", as long as he saw copper coins, he couldn't move.There are many interesting stories related to Feng Yun in the circle. For example, an old friend once visited him one day and found that he buried himself in copper coins. When I asked him, he said that he wanted to develop a relationship with copper coins!
There are still many things like this. Now let him see that he has copper coins in his hand. If he is not allowed, the consequences will be very serious.

"Okay! It really is Tianqi Tongbao! And it is the valuable Tianqi Tongbao!"

At this time, the sky was slowly getting brighter, Feng Yun held up the three copper coins and looked at the sky for about ten minutes, and immediately closed the coffin.

"This old gentleman, how about this, tell us what is the value of this copper coin? As far as I know, Tianqi Tongbao is not very valuable. I have one at home, and it only looks like 100 yuan."

At this time, more and more people surrounded, and when those who were closer heard Feng Yun's words, someone finally couldn't help shouting out loudly.

Si Kongzhe looked at Feng Yun, thought for a while and said, "Old Feng, why don't you tell everyone?"

"Row."

Feng Yun didn't shirk, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I think the one who spoke just now is also a lover of antique collection, at least he has knowledge of this aspect. As we all know, "Tianqi Tongbao" was cast when Emperor Xizong Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty was in power. There are more than 50 editions. Baoquan Bureau was once set up in the Ministry of Households, the so-called "Qianfatang" to manage the casting of coins, and the copper coins cast at this time were mainly used for military supplies. At the same time, due to the financial deficit, the problem was solved by increasing the number of coins minted. Under such circumstances, a large amount of copper coins and copper coins of poor quality were minted and flowed into the market. Therefore, the apocalypse There are quite a few Tongbao in existence, and because the workmanship is too poor, the price cannot be high."

"However, we should note that the 'Tianqi Tongbao' that appeared in history was not only in the Ming Dynasty, there was also a 'Tianqi Tongbao' in another dynasty, and the 'Tianqi Tongbao' that appeared in this dynasty is the real one. A member of the 'Fifty Treasures of Ancient Coins'."

"You keep talking about Xu Tianqi?"

Jiang Wen's little face flushed a little, she didn't know where her courage came from, but she still showed an uncertain tone when she spoke.

"Oh, little girl, you are right, it is Xu Tianqi."

Feng Yun nodded appreciatively. Among the people who play antiques, there are relatively few women, and the little girl in front of him obviously knows this information. In addition, Jiang Wen is pretty, so naturally she won him over immediately. appreciation.

"Miss Jiang, since you know, can I trouble you to tell me about Xu Tianqi's basic situation?
"I……"

Jiang Wen's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but look at Fang Ming.

"Oh, it's all right, just tell me, with Mr. Feng here, even if you make a mistake, there is no problem. You can just ask Mr. Feng for advice. Such an opportunity is quite rare."

Fang Ming immediately encouraged Jiang Wen. Generally speaking, Jiang Wen is a relatively shy person, but the more shy she is, the more she should talk more, especially the opportunity in front of so many people is even more rare. It also has extraordinary significance.

"Well, let me tell you what I know. If I am wrong, please ask Mr. Feng to correct it. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Uprising Army was the Red Army, and their leader Xu Shouhui also cast money in 1358. , also called "Tianqi Tongbao", the material used is copper, and there are three types of coins today, namely Xiaoping coins, two-fold coins and three-fold coins. The characters on the copper coins are regular script and seal script. The existence of the army is relatively short. At this time, the "Tianqi Tongbao" only went through a short period of one year from its release to its cessation, so there are relatively few handed down, especially the three-fold coin among them is a treasure among treasures. It belongs to what can be encountered but not sought, which is why it is listed as "Fifty Treasures". Of course, in order to distinguish it from the "Tianqi Tongbao" in the Ming Dynasty, the "Tianqi Tongbao" at this time is called "Xu Tianqi". In the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi Tongbao was called Mingqi to show the difference."

"Fifty Treasures of Ancient Coins" refers to fifty kinds of precious copper coins, such as Yongping Yuanbao, Tiande Chongbao, etc., and 'Xu Tianqi' is one of them.As for Xiaoping money, it means the most basic single unit of copper coins. Dividing two coins means that it is equivalent to two Xiaoping coins, and discounting three coins means that it is equivalent to three Xiaoping coins.

These are the basic knowledge in the collection of ancient coins. Today, those who come to the Little Antique Street Ghost Market more or less know something about antiques, so they can basically understand them.

"Huh? Since 'Tianqi Tongbao' is written on the two copper coins, how do we know which one is Xu Tianqi?"

Someone in the crowd yelled loudly again. This person obviously had a quicker mind, and he thought of this question all at once.

Feng Yun looked at Jiang Wen again, still smiling and said, "Miss Jiang, I wonder if you can answer this question?"

"Well, I happened to see relevant information."

The previous answer gave Jiang Wen great confidence, so she spoke a lot more confidently at this time, "First of all, Xu Tianqi's ancient coins are very beautifully made, the money is heavy, and the copper is used, so the texture is very good. Speaking of which, it imitated the Zhizheng coin of the Yuan Dynasty, with characters on the front and no characters on the back. The four-character calligraphy of "Tianqi Tongbao" is dignified and beautiful, especially the first and second strokes of the word "Qi" are connected together. At present, Xu Tianqi, especially in seal script, is even rarer."

"As for tomorrow's Qi, I have already said it before, because it appeared under the circumstances of abuse, so in addition to Xiaoping coins, two-fold coins, there are ten-fold coins, and the materials used are relatively poor. In terms of exquisiteness There is absolutely no way to compare with Xu Tianqi."

"Yes! There is nothing wrong with that, exactly!"

Feng Yun nodded heavily, and continued: "In the identification of copper coins, the texture, material, and style of characters are all very important criteria. What Ms. Jiang analyzed before is exactly what I want to say. I am very happy." agree with her."

"Clap clap clap!"

A burst of crisp applause erupted from the crowd. Jiang Wen's identification was simple and clear, and everyone could understand it as soon as they heard it. Not to mention that she was a beautiful woman, which accounted for a lot of points.

Jiang Wen's face turned red all of a sudden, like a crabapple flower in full bloom.

"Old Feng, Mr. Sikong, there are too many people here, why don't we sit in the store?"

Fang Ming saw that the sky was bright and the sun was about to rise, it would be too hot to stay any longer, and after this incident, there was no time to pick up the leaks today.

"Okay, let's sit in the store."

After all, Feng Yun was old, and he got up early to watch the ghost market, and was tired after all the tossing, so he agreed immediately.

"Slow! You can't take these three copper coins with you."

Just when Fang Ming turned around and was about to leave, a loud cry came from behind him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Yang Guang.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Fang Ming said coldly, "What do you want?"

"This copper coin is mine, you can't take it away."

Yang Guang felt that Fang Ming's eyes were stabbing at him like two knives, making his legs tremble uncontrollably. However, under the temptation of 20 yuan, he still bite the bullet and said, "I set up the game just now. The lady did not agree to buy my three copper coins for 800 yuan, so let’s do this, this matter is all my fault, I will return the money to you, and the copper coins will be returned to me.”

As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, all the people around were in an uproar.

"The forest is so big that there are all kinds of people. It's really speechless to have such a thick face."

"Yeah, where did this person come from? He's lost all of our face, isn't he from Ningdong City, or else it's a big loss of face."

"If it's from our Ningdong City, then don't even think about messing around in the future."

Those who play antiques, don't say anything about other people's layout, if you say it, you can't change it.Whether it's picking up leaks or punching holes, each depends on his own ability, in short, the original bet admits defeat.

Yang Guang is cheating!
"I just said that you would like to kill yourself, do you understand what I just said now?"

Yang Guang's face turned extremely pale all of a sudden, he didn't understand at this moment that he was the one who had been tricked!The funny thing is that I thought it was a trick just now.

"It doesn't matter, these three copper coins have to be kept for me, otherwise I won't be polite."

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ming laughed loudly, and said, "Yo, you're quite kind, if you really can do it."

"Fang Ming, let's go, let others take care of this."

Seeing that a path was opened among the onlookers and a few people in uniforms came in, Fang Ming nodded, said nothing, and left together with Feng Yun, Sikong Zhe, Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen.

Yang Guang wanted to say something at first, but when he saw those people who were chasing him, he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.
