Chapter 79

This bobbin money, as the name suggests, is a bobbin in appearance.Copper coins have been buried in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years. When they were dug out, they were bonded together by soil and rust, forming short or long tube shapes.

Since the tube money looks like this, you can't tell what kind of ancient money is inside.What is the value can only be known after opening the package.

"This is really luck, what kind of pitfall?"

"The puddle looks like Song Qian."

The pit mouths unearthed from bronze wares are mostly dry pits and water pits. Although coins are often listed as a separate collection category, they are mostly made of copper after all.

The so-called dry pits generally come out of loess and dry soil, mostly in the northern region, and the most typical feature is red spot and green rust.Puddles are naturally unearthed in water ponds or humid areas. Most of them are black, and some have yellow skin and patina.

As far as the rust color looks good, it is naturally a dry pit.

However, things in puddles sometimes have an overall uniform "black lacquer ancient", and this layer of black glossy film has attracted a large number of fans.Even in some people's mouths, heiqigu is regarded as a synonym for patina and leather shell.

"Song money? Why don't you come here because it's worthless." Before Pu Jie took it out, Yu Yao poured cold water on it in advance.

The amount of money minted in the Song Dynasty was quite large. Once the government and the people minted it together, there was inflation several times. If the family only had copper coins to use, you would be tired and cry when you went shopping with a sack on your shoulders.

"Can't you say something good? One is two hundred, and the total cost is only four hundred. Open a valuable one and come back!"

As Pu Jie said, he took out two tubes, a bottle of white vinegar and a utility knife. He even bought the tools.

Yu Yao saw it, it's over, these two tubes are not even black and lacquered, there is a lot of dirt hanging on them, the yellow skin is green and rusty.The top and bottom copper coins cannot be read.

The most important thing is that it looks like it's all small money.

Small money is Xiaoping money.For Song money, it refers to the money with the smallest value of the currency at that time, so the shape is also the smallest.Those with greater value, such as two-fold, three-fold, and ten-fold, means that one piece can be used as two, three, or ten Xiaoping coins, and the shape is also larger.

The two tubes that Pu Jie bought have only one advantage in appearance: the puddles have this kind of yellow skin and green rust, which is easy to peel off, but it is easy to open.

"Okay, if you win the grand prize, you will arrange all the food, drink and entertainment for the past few days." Of course Yu Yao also hoped that Pu Jie would have great luck.

No matter how easy it is to open the tube, it is also a technical job.However, it was a piece of cake for Pu Jie. When he first entered the business, he started with copper coins, and he had opened many times.

There are three common ways to open the package: throwing, scratching, and soaking.

Throwing means throwing the bobbin money to the ground and shaking it away.But it’s not just a random drop, it needs an angle, and at the same time, if the force is too small, it won’t shake open, but if the force is too strong, it will easily crack the ancient coins.

Scratching is to use a sharp knife to cut from the larger gap of the bobbin. The speed must be mastered so that the coins cannot be damaged, and the coin cannot be scratched, and it must be protected from hurting the hands.

Soak, that is, soak in warm water.For some old rust spots, white vinegar is sometimes used.But be careful with vinegar, although it is easy to clean, but because of the chemical reaction, it is easy for the ancient coins to precipitate copper ions, turn red, and affect the appearance.

Pu Jie was familiar with the road, and he did it as soon as he said it. First, he broke the tube, then used a utility knife to further disassemble it, and finally soaked the basically separated ancient coins in white vinegar; after a few minutes, rinsed them and soaked them again In a tub of warm water.

After soaking through, Pu Jie and Yu Yao each picked up a toothbrush and brushed it out one by one.

These two tubes are not big, with loose rust and thick rust. A total of fifty or sixty ancient coins have been produced.When brushing, in order to speed up, the two did not brush one by one and studied one by one until they were all brushed out and put away, then drained the water and placed them one by one at the bottom of the bathtub.

Although I didn't look closely at each one, but after all, I brushed it by hand, and I knew it in my heart. Basically, it was worthless small coins, most of which did not exceed ten yuan.

Pu Jie watched it again carefully, and was completely disappointed immediately, "I'm just a cleaner when I co-authored it! Fuck, I'll present a song!"

Yu Yao laughed loudly, stretched out his clenched left hand, "Guess what I'm holding?"

"Fuck!" Pu Jie stared, "When did you hide it?"

"When I was brushing, I looked at this special one, and when I paid attention, guess what? Jingkang!" Yu Yao spread his palms.

"Jingkang Yuanbao!" Pu Jie took it over at once, and after seeing the four characters clearly on the front, he immediately flipped through the back.

The shame of Jingkang is still unsettled, and when will the hatred of courtiers disappear?
Jingkang is the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, the reign title of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan - be careful not to identify him as Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng is Zhao Huan's ancestor, Song Zhenzong, the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan only served as emperor for more than a year, and together with his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji, he was captured by the Jin soldiers, and the Northern Song Dynasty also perished.

However, precisely because the reign name of Jingkang was used for a short time, Jingkang money was very scarce.

There are two kinds of Jingkang coins, Jingkang Tongbao and Jingkang Yuanbao. As long as they are copper coins (iron coins have also been cast), no matter which kind, any genuine piece will have a market price of more than [-] yuan.The highest auction record, there are millions more!

How could Pu Jie not be excited?

Speaking of Jingkang Yuanbao alone, there have been copper coins in two fonts, official script and seal script, each of which has a different version.

"Clerical script Xiaoping!" Pu Jie yelled, "This is definitely not fake!"

Jingkang coins are very famous in the category of ancient coins, so fakes are everywhere in the market today.But this one came out of a real bobbin. There is no problem with rust, and other small coins are also fine, so there must be no problem.

Moreover, even if only one Jingkang Yuanbao was produced, with Yu Yao's eyesight, he could still identify the authenticity.

"Of course there will be no fakes! You've made a big mistake!" Yu Yao never expected that a Jingkang Yuanbao Lishu Xiaoping was actually opened in these two inconspicuous boxes!
Although this version can only be further evaluated based on the specific appearance, details, and characteristics, at least it is intact and the words are fairly clear.

Pu Jie picked up the phone and checked it.

"You don't need to look it up, Jingkang Yuanbao Lishu Xiaoping is extremely rare, and a good product can cost more than 200 million! As long as it is complete and the words can be read, the minimum is 60 million, which is similar to the amount of copper coins you offered!"

Upon hearing this, Pu Jie simply put down the phone, "Then according to your estimation, how much is this worth?"

"It's worth at least 100 million!"

Pu Jie shook his fist violently, "Okay! This Jingkang is good! Jingkang is ashamed, it's still not snow, who said I can't pick up the leak?! This Jingkang, let me snow!"

"No one said you can't pick up the leak?" Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "It's just that you haven't picked up the leak."
