There are also many fewer tourists and pedestrians in the market. Looking at it again, many people hid in the shade of the trees on the side of the park to rest. Most of them were holding snacks bought from food stalls in their hands. , where to enjoy lunch.

Even those small vendors were mostly listless at this time.

His stomach was also full, so it was time to find something serious to do. Jin Muchen looked ahead, about half a mile before he could cross the entire Hester Street. He decided to take advantage of the time when there were not many people. Finish this street.

If you still don't find anything you like after walking, then retreat immediately, not wasting time here.

The previous section of the market did not give him a good feeling. Most of the customers here are too grassroots and too low-end, and most of the goods here are second-hand goods that are defined by Americans as antiques.

There are no Chinese antiques as he imagined, so he doesn't want to waste too much time here.

Candace did not object to his proposal, mainly because he had just eaten too much, and his stomach was a little stretched at this time, and he wanted to take two more steps to digest and digest the food.

So the two became one of the few tourists who went shopping under the sun.

Along the way, although Jin Muchen was watching the flowers, but with his eyesight, he could see clearly. Many stalls, just glanced at them, you could see that there was nothing worthy of his attention, so he walked all the way. soon.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the end of Hester Street, he couldn't see anything he was interested in. Jin Muchen felt a little regretful, and Candice was the same. He thought it would be worthwhile to take him here. Well, who would have thought of it, but there was nothing that caught his eye at all.

Just as he was about to walk out from the end of the street, a stall selling silverware caught Jin Muchen stunned. The shining silverware in the sun was particularly dazzling, but Jin Muchen just swept it casually, but from In those dazzling rays of light, there was a flash of blue energy.

This bizarre situation was exactly the same as when he saw the Yongzheng pastel bowl at the black buddy's house that day, but this time the color of the aura turned turquoise, Jin Muchen stopped and turned around. Which stall I went to.

Candace saw that Jin Muchen seemed to have finally found something that interested him, and she was also interested. She wanted to see what aroused this guy's interest.

The owner of this stall is an Indian with a strong accent. The stalls buy mainly silverware, and most of them have a very strong Indian style.

However, Jin Muchen, who was not interested in those spoons, knives and forks, and coffee pots, was interested in a set of silver coins thrown at the lower left corner of the stall. The turquoise aura was reflected from the set of silver coins. from.

The Indian stall owner with a strong accent, while introducing the products on his stall, carefully looked at Jin Muchen and the beautiful girl beside him. From time to time, when Candace couldn't see it, he gave Jin Muchen a thumbs up, Winking at him, it definitely means saying: Hey! Dude, your eyes are absolutely superb.

However, the Indian stall owner's vision is definitely not bad. Seeing that he introduced himself for a long time, Jin Muchen was absent-minded. When he saw Jin Muchen's line of sight, he immediately understood. He picked up the set of silver coins and handed them over to Jin Muchen.

"Friend, if you like it, take a good look. This is a hundred-year-old Chinese silver coin, the very famous Yuan Datou!"

Hearing the three words Yuan Datou pop out of the stall owner's mouth with a strong accent, Jin Muchen suddenly felt a sense of crying and laughing.

Unexpectedly, I can actually see Yuan Datou in the United States!

And it was seen from the hands of an Indian. Jin Muchen, who had already felt a little disappointed in Hester Street, really didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time.

But no matter how you feel, this set of Yuan Datou is always right, and it seems to be well preserved.

Candace didn't know much about silver coins, nor was she interested in them. Instead, the exquisitely made tableware, silver plates and coffee pots attracted her more. She just glanced at the silver coins in Jin Muchen's hand, and then turned her attention to other things. On top of those finely styled silverware.

Jin Muchen was also happy to be quiet. His grandfather used to play collections, so when he was a child, there were a lot of Yuan Datou in his family. At that time, Yuan Datou was not worth much.

I remember when I was a child, that is, in the early 1990s, people often took Yuan Datou to his grandfather to ask for a purchase, and those Yuan Datou were all authentic old versions, and there were no fakes.

He remembered very clearly that Yuan Datou was not considered an antique at that time. At that time, people regarded Yuan Datou more as silver coins. There were even many young people who would take Yuan Datou to find gold and silver on the street in order to pursue fashion. The master in the shop melted Yuan Datou and made it into a ring.

At that time, the price that grandfather bought Yuan Datou, if I remember correctly, seems to be between ten and thirty yuan, which should be distinguished according to Yuan Datou's appearance.

If it is in good condition, it will be more expensive, and the price ranges from twenty to thirty.

And ten years later, after the trend of playing antiques in China has risen, the price of Yuan Datou has soared in the antique market. Good quality can even buy seven or eight hundred, and even more than a thousand at the highest.

However, in recent years, it seems that with the price fluctuations in the [email protected]@ market, Yuan Datou's price has dropped a lot.

The appearance of this set of Yuan Datou looks quite good, and the most important thing is that this set of Yuan Datou is quite well preserved, and what surprised Jin Muchen most is that it is actually a complete set of Yuan Datou set for the third year of the Republic of China.

The top one is two Yuan Datou one-dollar version placed on the front and back, and the bottom is two Zhongyuan version placed on both sides, the bottom two are two horns placed on both sides, then one corner, and finally five points. .

This Yuan Datou suit can be regarded as an eye-opener for Jin Muchen, because the Yuan Datou he has seen before is the one-dollar version, and the Zhongyuan is also a five-point, and there are those two-point, one-point, five-point Yuan. Big head, it was the first time he saw it.

Looking at the year written on Yuan Datou, it actually reads the third year of the Republic of China.

When he saw this year, Jin Muchen couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. He remembered what his grandfather had told him about Yuan Datou when he was playing with Yuan Datou that his grandfather collected.

When grandfather received Yuan Datou, Jin Muchen was still young and often liked to play with those Yuan Datou as coins, and many of the Yuan Datou collected by grandfather were high-quality products with very high silver content.

When he took it to his mouth and blew it hard, he would hear a very crisp and pleasant buzzing sound, so he often played with grandpa's silver coins at that time.

At that time, my grandfather held those Yuan Datou specially to teach him what it was, what it was used for, and what was the difference between it and how to identify it.

He still remembered that his grandfather mentioned it at the time. There is a piece of Yuan Datou that will definitely be sought after by collectors in the future. That one happens to be a signed version of Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China.

It turned out that in April 1912, Yuan Shikai served as the interim president of the Republic of China. In order to improve his prestige, he specially invited the coinage designer, Ruerzhi, from Italy. George came over to help design a brand new silver coin.

That is to say, Yuan Datou, who was famous later, started trial production at the Tianjin Mint in the third year of the Republic of China. Before mass production, the Italian designer engraved the English abbreviation L.G of his name on Yuan Datou. The right side of this side of the big picture.

And such Yuan Datou, among the Yuan Datou circulating in the market, can be said to be unique.

To this day, when Yuan Datou has changed from the original currency to the age of antiques, the price of a Yuan Datou of ordinary quality has been fired, seven or eight hundred yuan, and the good quality is even more to three to five thousand. price.

And the price of a signed version of Yuan Datou printed with the English abbreviation L.G has now been hyped to more than 30,000 yuan.

Of course, Jin Muchen still doesn't know the current situation of Yuan Datou in the signed version, but he just knows that today he has come across the top of Yuan Datou that his grandfather said. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

And it's still a whole set, and the whole set of Yuan Datou is actually a signed version.

At this time, he already understood why he was so far away that he could see the turquoise aura flashing on the silverware stall. Emotion was the treasure radiated from this set of treasures.

The Indian stall owner watched Jin Muchen holding the Yuan Datou suit repeatedly and carefully, and knew that this guy was likely to become the buyer of this set of silver coins, because only real buyers would see it. so carefully.

This hawker has set up a stall here all morning, but it has not yet opened. He urgently needs this business to open for himself, so at this time, he is explaining the origin of this set of silver coins to Jin Muchen. .

"This set of Chinese silver coins is still a treasure left by my grandfather. At that time, he was still a patrolman in the Shanghai concession. This set of silver coins was left by my grandfather at that time. It has been in my house for decades. Today Seeing that you like him, I can agree to transfer him to you..."

Another set of Indian heirloom stories. Such stories are staged almost every day in the antique market in China, and I didn't expect it to be the same in the United States.

Such stories are generally not very credible, but it doesn't matter how the signed version of Yuan Datou came from, the important thing is that this set of Yuan Datou is true.

Jin Muchen checked it several times until he finally determined that this set of Yuan Datou was indeed the signed version of Yuan Datou in the third year of the Republic of China, so he raised his head and asked the stall owner.
