    Seeing Chai Chengxuan like this, Shu Ze couldn't help but feel a little angry: "You guys, can you be more upbeat? It's already this time, and you're still like this, what are you thinking in your head!"

    Chai Chengxuan smiled bitterly and said, "You go ahead and scold me. I'll feel better after scolding me."

    "I can't stand you, I really want to slap you!" Shu Ze was furious after hearing this.

    Meng Zitao smiled and interjected: "Now let's go to Du Ruoyu's antique shop."

    ¡°Okay, let someone see the ¡®Yellow River¡¯.¡±

    A group of people took a car to the Nangong Antique Market in Jinyang. When they got there, they saw the crowds of people and suddenly realized that today is the weekend market, and the square is full of stalls.

    Shu Ze and Meng Zitao looked at each other: "Let's go shopping first?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I don't care."

    Chai Chengxuan also said: "My matter is not urgent. Anyway, the store cannot be moved out in a short while."

    "Then let's go." Shu Ze waved his hand and led the way into the market.

    Speaking of which, the market in Nangong has been around for some time. As early as the 1980s, the Jinyang Antique Market took shape, but it was not here originally. Later, under the guidance of the government, Nangong became the habitat of antique vendors.  It consists of a main street about 100 meters long in the north-south direction and a main street more than 200 meters long in the east-west direction.

    With the development of the antique market, the government took advantage of the situation and opened a street stall market in the open space west of the market's North and South Street and south of Yingze Street. It has now become the 6,000-square-meter Nangong Antiques that Meng Zitao and the others saw.  market.

    It was already late when Meng Zitao and the others arrived, but the market was still crowded, and stall owners with accents from various places were busy introducing items to customers or bargaining.

    It is said that connoisseurs know the ropes and should rush early when searching for treasures. Those who go hunting for treasures at various street stalls at dawn are the real antique lovers, so most of the connoisseurs have already gone shopping.

    Meng Zitao has also heard about the Nangong Antique Market for a long time. When he arrived here, he found that the items were all-inclusive and the goods were various. Many things that have disappeared in life may still be found here.

    ??For example, you can also see many things used by our fathers.  Old tape recorders and mechanical watches from the 1980s were considered ¡°big items¡± in the last century.

    In addition, there is a set of "Five Golden Flowers" placed in a prominent position at one of the booths, which evokes everyone's memories.

    Some people may not know what "five golden flowers" means. They are actually the 5-cent coin in 1979, the 2-cent coin and 5-cent coin in 1980, and the 1-cent coin and 5-cent coin in 1981.  They did not enter the circulation market back then, but now their prices have soared to more than 10,000 yuan.

    Things in the antique market are like this. As soon as you make a profit, fake and shoddy coins will appear. Therefore, when buying these coins now, you still need to be careful. Only the ones packaged in the original box are "real", and the loose coins are likely to be fake.

    Shu Ze looked at the things on the stall and said: "I have been here twice before. Although it is more lively now and there are more things, the place that used to have a strong artistic atmosphere suddenly became like a market. It feels different from before.  No, I don¡¯t feel that good.¡±

    Chai Chengxuan agreed with these words: "Now I feel that antiques are becoming more and more of a supporting role here. If this continues, I think the future of this once prosperous market is worrying."

    Meng Zitao said with a smile: "The managers and vendors here are concerned about this matter. Let's just concentrate on picking up the leaks."

    After hearing this, Shu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have a goal?"

    Meng Zitao smiled lightly and said, "Stop talking, just follow me."

    Meng Zitao took Shu Ze to a nearby stall that specialized in coins. He squatted down and looked at the items on the stall, then picked up a coin and played with it.

    Perhaps seeing that Meng Zitao was interested in coins, the stall owner stretched his neck and whispered to Meng Zitao: "Little brother, are you interested in silver coins?"

    Meng Zitao smiled lightly and said, "Do you have any good goods?"

    The stall owner said with a smile: "I have the Austrian version of Chuanyang."

    "Chuanyang" refers to the common name for the silver coins with the ocean sailing pattern minted by the Nationalist Government in the 1930s.  Among the thousands of old silver coins issued in modern my country, its influence is second only to the "Yuan Datou" silver coin.

    In addition to the three types of "Chuanyang" issued and circulated, there are also several trial coins circulating in the world.  These are the trial mint samples of the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, and Austria respectively. The front of the design is a profile of Sun Yat-sen, and the upper edge reads "China"Eighteen Years of the Republic of China", with a picture of a three-masted sailboat on the back.

    The patterns of the trial coins of these five countries are basically the same. They are all designed and engraved according to the standard drawings drawn up by the government. There are very few coins.  The Austrian version of Chuanyang in general condition has a market value of about 20,000 and is very popular among players.

    Meng Zitao was slightly startled and asked: "Boss, are you sure you have the Austrian version of Chuanyang?"

    The stall owner said: "How can I lie to you about this? If you want it, I will show it to you."

    "As long as the thing is good, I will definitely want it." Meng Zitao said.

    "Wait a moment." The stall owner opened the wooden box sitting under his buttocks and took out a small box. During this period, he secretly looked at the movements of Meng Zitao's hands, fearing that he would lose the treasure.

    ¡°Take a look.¡± The stall owner put the box in front of Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao did not believe that there was a real Austrian version of Chuanyang here. He opened the box and took out the silver coins inside and took a few glances to confirm his judgment.

    To identify the authenticity of silver coins, we first start with identifying the authenticity of silver.  The luster of real silver is soft and white.  The higher the fineness of silver, the whiter its luster. Real silver rounds will shine white after cleaning.  The hardness of silver rounds is low. When two silver rounds are rubbed together, they will feel oily and there will be no sound of metal hitting each other.

    Fake silver coins are made of iron or steel, copper and lead, aluminum and tin, or metal powder and cement. Their color is dark and dull.  Fake silver rounds become "ugly" after being burned with fire, including broken, deformed, and scattered parts. Real silver rounds do not deform or mute when burned, and are white and shiny after cleaning.  Fake silver rounds will turn yellow, blue, black or gray after cleaning.

    Although the Chuanyang in Meng Zitao's hand is relatively realistic, it can only deceive ordinary people and cannot even pass this verification method.

    In addition, there is a layer of silver oxide on the surface of handed down silver rounds, which is often called patina.  The patina mainly includes light black, light gray, light orange and millet shell color.  The patina on this silver coin is relatively poor. It should be rubbed with shoe polish and baked with wax fire. The patina is heavy black and can be identified at a glance.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
