Chapter 90 Daqi Tongbao on
The copper coin in the palm of the Wei Hongjun is only about 2.3 cm in diameter, and the thick edge is less than one millimeter. One side is light and wordless, and the other side is written with the word "Daqi Tongbao" in official script.
I don't know if it's because Ye Tian has been playing for a long time, the black and ancient rust on the original body surface of this copper coin has been completely worn out, revealing a kind of luster with purple in the blue. Looking at it carefully, it gives people a feeling of ancient simplicity and vicissitudes.
Moreover, the whole copper coin has clear handwriting, the quality is intact, and the pulp is round. In the antique industry, it can be regarded as a full-quality object, and the price is much higher than the defective one.
"Ye Tian, this... Is this really Daqi Tongbao?!" Playing with this copper coin, Wei Hongjun's eyes showed an unbelievable look.
In order to improve his taste, to put it bluntly, it is subservient and elegant. In recent years, Wei Hongjun has invested no less than one million yuan in antiques, but he has received few good things, many of which are imitation quality products.
However, after several years of edification, Wei Hongjun's eyesight was exercised a little. Looking at the copper coin in the palm of his hand, he could feel a vicissitudes. His intuition told him that this copper coin was absolutely true.
Hearing Wei Hongjun's question, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Uncle Wei has good eyesight. He is indeed Daqi Tongbao..."
"Fery, there are words on it, everyone knows it." Wei Birong, who was beside him, curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Ye Tian.
"Isn't your daughter's attitude right? Isn't it interesting to this boy?"
When Wei Hongjun saw his daughter's appearance, he frowned slightly. He had been a father and mother for more than ten years and pulled up his daughter. He couldn't know more about Wei Rongrong's nature.
"I know everyone, but there are not many people who can recognize the authenticity of the copper coin, isn't it, Uncle Wei?" Ye Tian's words diverted Wei Hongjun's attention and said with a complaent face, "Yes, this copper coin, whether from the standard or the pulp, should be the real product of "Daqi Tongbao", no doubt..." Speaking of this, Wei Hongjun showed a trace of doubt on his face and turned his face to Ye Tian. "However, this object Two of them are still incomplete, Xiaoye, how did you get this big Qitongbao?" Ha ha, Uncle Ye, didn't I say that there is a waste collector at home, and this thing was collected by my father..."
Ye Tian actually didn't tell the truth. This copper coin was given to him when he was divination. Originally, there were three in total, but Ye Tian was naughty when he was a child, and the other two were lost.
Although the two lost are not Daqi Tongbao, they are also rare ancient money. Because of this, Lao Dao once taught Ye Tian a cruel lesson and told Ye Tian the origin of Daqi Tongbao.
Even Ye Dongping didn't know that the copper money his son often played with was really Daqi Tongbao. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have grabbed it and treasured it for a long time.
The reason why Ye Tian dared to hold it in his hand for so many years is that he has been playing with this copper coin for a long time 1
A trace of spirituality has already been immersed in it, and even if he is lost, he can find it in the right direction.
"This...this is really brilliant" Wei Hongjun's face showed an unbelievable look on his face. He thought Ye Tian was joking, but he didn't expect it to be like this. For a moment, he looked a little trance, and the omission was too big.
Wei Rongrong is so big that he really rarely sees his father like this. At the moment, he asked curiously, "Dad, isn't it just a copper coin? I think the ones you treasure are no worse than it, and they are made of silver. Why are you making such a fuss?" "Cough, what do you know? This copper coin is one of the ten treasures of my concubine. If I had such a piece, I would be a celebrity in the domestic coin collection industry." Wei Hongjun was a little embarrassed by However, there are a lot of coins hidden, but in terms of their rarity and value, it is far worse than Ye Tian.
[Zhong] As early as the Xia Dynasty, the country used animal bones and turtle shells, which began to be used as coins for physical objects, and the Shang Dynasty used shells as physical currency until the Spring and Autumn Period.
After the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of countries used bronze to mint different styles of circulating currencies, such as knife coins, shovel coins, round coins, etc., which were unified by the First Emperor of Qin and continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Although every new emperor will melt the previous copper coins to mint new coins, so many dynasties have changed, and there are countless coins used for burial alone.
To this day, the number of all kinds of copper coins is not rare. As Wei Rongrong said before, copper coins piled up on the ground can be seen in almost every antique market.
Therefore, the collection of copper coins is that the boutique is a treasure. Generally, the circulation of coins in the prosperous dynasty is very large. Now it is worthless. Only some rare ancient coins are pursued by collectors.
The so-called fifty treasures are the general term for a variety of rare ancient coins in the national coin collection industry. Generally, people who collect ancient coins are embarrassed to say that they are collectors of coins if they don't take out a few fifties.
And "Daqi Tongbao" is among the 50 treasures, which is also extremely rare, because so far, a total of two have been found,
And they are all incomplete.
"Daqi Tongbao" is the first Southern Tang coin minted by Li Ben, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The reason why it is called "Daqi Tongbao" is that the emperor of Wu had made him king of Qi before he ceded the throne.
Because the "Daqi" dynasty existed for a short time, and at the same time, the amount of money cast is small and refined, which has been handed down to date, it is particularly precious and rare.
There are only two Daqi Tongbao in existence, and one is missing a corner in the upper right, which is called "the missing angle Daqi" in the coin world
"The lack of horns" was hidden by Dai Xi, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, some people were willing to buy it at a high price. Dai could not bear to give up his love. The Taiping army invaded Hangzhou. Dai threw himself into the water out of prejudice and buried Daqi Tongbao and
Later generations got the rare authentic product of this stick, scrambled to buy Dai Zhai, dug the ground several times, and finally got nothing. Therefore, the lack of horns Daqi now only exists in the record.
There are four small holes in the money of another big Qi Tongbao, which is called "four-eyed big".
"Four Eyes Big Qi" was found by Dai Baoting and Zhu Kezhuang, coin collectors in the period of the Republic of China, accidentally from the shuttlecock kicked by children in the countryside of Poyang, Jiangxi Province. Although this Daqi Tongbao did not lack corners, it was drilled out four small holes because of the shuttlecock.
Later, this copper coin was bought by the famous collector Uncle Zhang with a lot of money. The hidden secret room was never shown to others, and he called himself "Qi Zhai" and his cherished "Daqi Tongbao" can be seen.
However, during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Shuxun took all his collections to the United States. Unfortunately, after his death, all the collections were sold by his widow, and the "four-eyed" now doesn't know where it is.
So for coin collectors, this complete "Daqi Tongbao" simply occupies an important position in the minds of emperors of all dynasties.
Wei Hongjun is still a person in the business field. Although he has looked up a lot on this coin, he still doesn't know enough. If he is a person in the antique industry, I'm afraid he will have the idea of making money and killing him.
"Ye Tian, you are a copper coin, I don't know if you want to transfer it?" He couldn't put it down and played with this big Qi Tongbao, and Wei Hongjun even forgot the purpose of inviting Ye Tianlai to his home.
You know, although Wei Hongjun's wife has passed away for several years, in order to take into account his daughter's feelings, he has never continued, and he has not been involved in the maintenance of Xiaomi, so he has always been relatively low-key in the circle, or there is nothing to show off.
However, it's different to have such a copper coin. If you take out this Daqi Tongbao at a party, at least you can raise your eyebrows in the antique circle in the capital. It's definitely a matter of face.
"Hehe, Uncle Wei, I'm going to keep this item by myself"
Ye Tian shook his head and directly refused the temptation of the Wei Hongjun. The old compass has not been passed on to him yet, and it is inconvenient to carry calligraphy and painting. The reason why Ye Tian took this copper coin with him was that he also had the intention to see things and think about people in it.
"Xiao Ye, don't you ask the price?" Wei Hongjun did not give up, and the name of Ye Tian became intimate.
"Don't ask, it's better not to know than not to sell your heart," Ye Tian said half jokingly and half seriously.
Wei Rongrong didn't like Ye Tian's attitude and interrupted, "What are you showing off? Isn't it just a copper coin? Is it worth 1,000 yuan? Ye Tian, I'll give you 2,000 yuan. Let's sell it to my father."
"2000"
Ye Tian and Wei Hongjun shouted out in one voice, with a strange look on their faces.
"Cough, Xiaoye, Rongrong doesn't understand this, don't be surprised"
Wei Hongjun coughed, looked at his daughter and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If it hadn't been for Xiaoye's attention, you wouldn't even see 2,000 yuan..."
Wei Hongjun's words are not aimless. When Uncle Zhang collected "four eyes", many people were willing to pay a lot of money to see it but could not pay for it. If it is put in modern times, I'm afraid it will be more than 2,000 yuan.
"So expensive? Is it true? Wei Rongrong and Yu Qingya, who had never spoken, were shocked and stared at the copper money in the palm of Wei Hongjun's hand.
Although Wei Rongrong and Yu Qingya are both rich families, they don't know much about antiques. I really can't imagine that there are things that can't be seen by huā money. There are many good objects in the Palace Museum, and a ticket is only 50 yuan.
"I don't know the specific price, but it's enough to change this copper coin for our house..." Wei Hongjun's next words made Wei Rongrong even more stunned. She knew that her father bought this house and decorated it, which cost a total of 800,000 to 900,000 yuan.
