Meng Zitao has always heard that the water in Panjiayuan is very deep, but because he has never been there before, he doesn¡¯t know how deep it is. Now that he sees it, it is indeed well-deserved.
There are indeed a dazzling array of things on the market, including various types of porcelain, purple clay jars, antique inkstones, bronze miscellaneous items, etc. However, none of these things could catch Meng Zitao's eyes, and some of them were so crude that even novices would find it difficult to be fooled.
Meng Zitao visited several stalls, but didn't encounter anything that caught his eye. He was still a little disappointed, feeling that it was a little different from the Panjiayuan ghost market he imagined. In other words, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Big bar.
Walking to a stall, Meng Zitao saw a middle-aged buyer using a flashlight to bargain with the stall owner using his calculator.
This stall mainly sells various coins, as well as some miscellaneous items such as copper stoves and bronze mirrors.
The buyer was interested in two silver coins, which he said were Yuan Datou from Lu Province. Hearing this name, Meng Zitao shook his head secretly. He knew that there must be something wrong with these two silver coins without even looking at them.
In fact, from the 30th year of Guangxu to the 32nd year of Guangxu, the Copper Yuan Bureau of Shandong Province only minted two kinds of copper coins, Dangshi and Dangtwenty. After that, there was no history of minting coins. To this day, no coins have been minted. Documents and historical data show that during the Republic of China, in Lu Province, there were records of official minting of silver coins by officials or warlords.
The silver coins now appearing on the market, no matter from the casting process, weight and fineness, are all privately cast by private individuals, because there is no convincing record of whether they are true or false. There is no way to judge.
Closer to home, after the stall owner opened the price, he only saw the buyer pressing 600 on the calculator. As soon as the stall owner took a look, he used his flashlight to shine on the silver coins that the buyer was interested in and said, "Look at the appearance of these two silver coins." , if you weigh them again, the incoming goods will have this number."
After saying that, he pressed a few numbers on the calculator.
The buyer was happy after reading the numbers on the calculator. He pressed 1500 on the calculator and said, "I'll add some more for you. You can sell me these two coins as well." After that, he pointed to another Two silver dollars.
Meng Zitao felt happy when he looked at the two silver coins. It seemed that this man was drunk and was not interested in drinking. Although he did not see which version of the two silver coins they were, judging from their appearance, they were 80% There is no doubt that it is genuine. If it were more valuable, it might be missed.
Of course, it is also possible that the two silver coins are high imitations, and the buyer will be wary again.
The vendor looked at the two silver coins and then at the price. He hesitated for a moment, but then agreed and said, "Just think of it as a business. If we are like you, we really can't make any money." "
The buyer smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his smile, and immediately paid the money and left with the silver dollars.
Meng Zitao nodded to the stall owner, then lowered his head and looked at the items on the stall. He first looked at the relatively small number of bronze mirrors and other objects. It turned out that most of them were not genuine, and the rest were old imitations from the Republic of China, and were basically not worth a lot of money.
Then, Meng Zitao looked at the various coins on the stall.
Meng Zitao glanced around and found that there were many types of coins here, ranging from the Song Dynasty to the Republic of China. However, most of the coins were in ordinary formats. The most precious of them was Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China, which was worth five or six hundred.
In addition to these ordinary coins, there are also a few coins placed in small brocade boxes near the stall owner.
With the permission of the stall owner, Meng Zitao picked up a box and saw that the coins inside were made of golden copper and had a relatively exquisite appearance. There seemed to be no obvious casting defects, and the lines were clear, and the interface was smooth and smooth.
In addition, the coin has a draft angle and a larger diameter than the same version of the coin. Taken together, the coin in the box is clearly a parent coin.
Mother money is the mother, just like the alphabet of an animal giving birth to a child. It is used to print money inscriptions on the sand and clay model, and then cast the money of the child money in this shape. Simply put, mother money is a mold, a tool used to turn sand money. Strictly speaking, mother money can generally be divided into two types, carved mother money and cast mother money. What is generally seen on the market are cast mothers, while carved mothers are quite rare.
Meng Zitao raised his head and asked: "Boss, can I take it out?"
The stall owner nodded, but made sure Meng Zitao put on gloves, and said a little worriedly: "Try to be careful, this is mother's money!"
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Meng Zitao put on his gloves and then took the coins out of the box.Come.
Speaking of which, the Qing Dynasty cast mother is a wonderful flower in the coin collection, seemingly simple but all-inclusive.
According to the different materials, it can be divided into three types: copper and lead wood; according to the different types of foundry money, it can be divided into two types: copper coin cast mother and iron coin cast mother, the latter is iron mother; Depending on the molding process, it can also be divided into sand molds, beaten molds, and machine-made molds. The identities of the various molds can be independent or overlapping.
The copper coin in the box is the mother coin of "Guangxu Chongbaobao Quanju Dangshi". It is made using the beating process. The general principle of forming the mother coin is to first use two pieces of wood and carve the face of the coin on each. and the back, and then use the prepared copper thin sheet to press it on the carved wooden mold to make the characters according to the shape. Then the two thin sheets are pressed into shape using the earth machine method. For thicker coins, a piece of lead will be sandwiched in the middle. The cake plays a fixing role and makes the coins strong.
This kind of mother's money handed down from ancient times is not very rare. Meng Zitao has seen a few before. If this "Guangxu Treasure" is genuine, its market value should be around 8,000.
However, as soon as he got the coin, Meng Zitao felt that it was relatively light. After a little observation, he could find that there was something wrong with the copper quality.
One of the characteristics that distinguishes mother money from ordinary currency is that it is mostly made of high-quality copper or other high-quality materials. Historically, since the creation of sand-cast currency, the copper quality of existing mother coins has been better than that of ordinary currency in circulation. According to data, mother coins in the Qing Dynasty generally used copper with more than four smeltings, and some as high as six or seven smeltings.
Therefore, except for special circumstances, mother coins have experienced hundreds of years or even more than a thousand years of vicissitudes of life. Regardless of whether they are unearthed or handed down from generation to generation, their appearance is quite eye-catching, and they can be said to stand out among many copper coins.
However, although the copper quality of this mother coin is not bad, Meng Zitao's rich experience still revealed the prototype, which is at least worse than the real thing.
Meng Zitao returned the things calmly, and picked up several other small brocade boxes, only to find that only one of them was genuine, and the mother's coin was not in good condition, which made him somewhat agitated. Small disappointment.
But anyway, it would be nice to have an authentic one, so I asked about the price.
The stall owner pressed a few numbers on the calculator, and then handed the calculator to Meng Zitao. At the same time, he was a little surprised, because he knew that Meng Zitao had chosen the only genuine mother's coin in the stall and did not have a certain level of strength. Can't do it.
Because of this, the stall owner did not raise the price randomly because Meng Zitao was young, asking for four thousand.
The price was a little too expensive, so Meng Zitao paid it back several times, and finally the deal was settled for three thousand two thousand.
After paying the money, Meng Zitao was about to get up and leave when the stall owner suddenly said: "Brother, I also have a Guangxutong Baby Fengju Xiaoping. Are you interested?"
Meng Zitao was about to respond when he heard a voice coming from behind: "What's so interesting about Guangxu Bao Fengju Xiaoping? I still have a few more."
Meng Zitao turned around and saw that it was Zhong Jinxian and the others, and was a little surprised: "Why did you come here so soon?"
"Hey, I need your help if I need something, let's go quickly." Zhong Jinxian chuckled and wanted to pull Meng Zitao away quickly.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after I get better here.¡± Meng Zitao smiled and said, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s an ordinary Baofengju Xiaoping?¡±
The stall owner also smiled, took out a similar brocade box from the box where he was sitting, and placed it in front of Meng Zitao.
Zhong Jinxian looked down and muttered: "Hey, it does look a little different."
¡°I¡¯ll tell you later.¡±
There were many people talking at the scene, and Meng Zitao didn't want to say more. After looking at it carefully, he sighed slightly in his heart. This mother's coin was indeed genuine, but he didn't know who had smashed it or something. The condition was really bad, which made him regretful. Besides, I am also very hesitant to collect it.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Zitao finally gave up the idea of ??collecting the coins and returned the coins to the stall owner: "It would be nice if this mother's coin was in better condition."
The stall owner collected the coins and said, "There is no way, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
Meng Zitao understood what the stall owner meant. If this mother's coin was of good quality, he probably wouldn't be able to get it, or if he got it, he would have a better choice, and it would be normal for it to be auctioned.
In addition, the stall owner may have another intention, asking Meng Zitao not to be too picky and just give in.
Of course, Meng Zitao could not give in. He took his things and left with Zhong Jinxian and his wife.
Zhong Jinxian asked curiously: "Zitao, what is so special about that copper coin just now?"
Meng Zitao first explained the meaning of the mother coin, and then said: "The coin just now is actually a machine-made mother coin. He first used a machine to press out high-precision coins, what we call machine-made square holes, and then perforated them. The draft angle is made and used as mother money.¡±
"The only real objects I have seen so far are the Guangxu Tongbaobao Fengju Xiaoping and the founding money of the same edition. Because the cost was too high and it was not implemented, this type of money is extremely rare. This type of mother money is also unique to the Guangxu Dynasty. It is a pity that it is rare. It¡¯s so different, if it was a little better, I would definitely accept it.¡±
Zhong Jinxian suddenly said: "Oh, so that's what happened."
Meng Zitao asked as he walked: "By the way, what are you interested in?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He said: "The coin just now is actually a machine-made mother coin.
