"Oh! Your study is nice, and you look like a scholar."

Mou Duanming followed Chang Xian into the study, and his eyes lit up.

"Hey! I'm just messing around, how can I say I have any knowledge!"

Chang Xian smiled and opened the baggage dug out of the ruins. There was a set of silver coins inside.

"Haha, Yuan Datou!"

Mou Duanming picked up a silver coin and said with a smile: "This thing is not worth much!"

Yuan Datou was the silver coin circulating currency minted after Yuan Shikai became the interim president during the Republic of China. The circulation volume was very large.

Yuan Shikai, who was emperor for only 83 days, and Yuan Datou, who only had one yuan, issued 750 million coins.

Yuan Datou's existence must be in the hundreds of millions. Everything is rare and valuable, so Mou Duanming said that Yuan Datou was not worth much.

Chang Xian nodded and said: "I often saw it when I was a child, and many people have it at home. In those days, many people, in order to pursue fashion, would take Yuan Datou to the masters in gold and silver shops on the street to melt Yuan Datou.

Then make it into a ring."

Mou Duanming smiled: "After all, it is made of silver. It has become popular now. In the 1980s, it cost around ten yuan, in the 1990s, it cost around fifty yuan, and now it costs around five hundred yuan."

Chang Xian knew that this was correct, but he was curious as to how Yuan Datou could be sensed by his spiritual sense.

He has now figured out the pattern. To be able to be sensed by the spiritual sense, it must be at least an object worth 10,000 or 8,000 yuan.

"It's not difficult to identify Yuan Datou's thing. Just look at it, say it twice, and listen to its sound."

Mou Duanming weighed the silver coin in his hand for a few times, then looked closer, picked up another piece and struck it lightly with the coin in his hand. The sound was long and clear, with a crisp ending.

…

"Brother, you opened my eyes!"

Mou Duanming breathed out and said: "There are no absolutes in anything. Yuan Datou is not valuable, but not all Yuan Datou is worthless! Yours is very valuable! Look carefully, this is the signed version of Yuan Datou in the third year of the Republic of China.

Big head!"

He said seriously: "Suit! I have seen a signed version of Yuan Datou, but I have never seen a signed version of Yuan Datou's suit that is well preserved and in perfect condition!"

Chang Xian carefully examined these Yuan Datou according to Mou Duanming's statement and found some clues.

This is a complete Yuan Datou set.

The top one is the two Yuan Datou one-yuan coins placed on the front and back, and the bottom is the two Zhongyuan coins placed on the front and back. At the bottom are the two jiao coins placed on the front and back, then the one jiao, and finally the five cents.

.

This Yuan Datou suit is an eye-opener for Chang Xian, because all the Yuan Datou he has seen before are the one-yuan version, and the Zhongyuan is the five-yuan version, as well as the two-yuan, one-yuan, and five-yuan ones.

This was the first time he saw Yuan Datou.

Look at the year written on this set of Yuan Datou, it clearly says the third year of the Republic of China.

What's even more strange is that the Yuan Shikai on the front of the coin is very different from the common Yuan Shikai. They are completely different.

The Yuan Shikai at hand is not a side profile, but a slanted face showing a 70- to 8-cent face. He has a thin appearance and is much more handsome than the common version with a fat head and big ears.

Not only that, the words "L.GIORGI" are also engraved on the outside of the figure's shoulders.

Mou Duanming said slowly: "In the third year of the Republic of China, the government of the Republic of China rectified the currency system and established the silver standard currency system."

"Yuan Shikai ordered the Jinmen Mint to prepare and mint new silver coins to replace the Guangxu Yuanbao, Qing Dynasty silver coins, founding commemorative coins and other silver coins that are still circulating in the market."

"This set of sample coins was designed and engraved by Lu Qiaoqi, the chief engraver of the Jinmen Mint at the time. Because he had never met Yuan Shikai in person, he engraved the first set of sample coins based only on photos and minted a small number of sample coins.

.”

"When he went to the capital to meet Yuan Shikai, he discovered that the set of molds was very different from the real person. He later redesigned it and this version was not adopted, so it was called "seven-pointed face" or "seven-pointed face". This set of sample coins

It has never been circulated and is very rare."

"There are four types of sample coins in this set, gold coins and silver coins, signed versions and unsigned versions. The prices vary greatly."

"At Baldwin's Hong Kong summer auction this year, a beautiful one-yuan three-pointed face signed Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China was sold for US$11,500, which is about more than 70,000 RMB."

"This set of silver coins is original and oxidized, with uniform color, clear portrait and wording. Its appearance is even better than the one auctioned in Hong Kong, and its price is even higher."

Chang Xian looked at Yuan Datou one by one, and Mou Duanming flipped through the more than 20 paintings of Peking Opera masters, closing his eyes and thinking for a while, "Xiao Chang, these things you have are pretty good, I can go to a warehouse for you."

What is a goods channel?

In any profession, there are insiders and outsiders.

Some laymen have nothing in their stomachs, but they like to be self-righteous, causing many dumbfounding things, and breaking the rules to make people unable to get off the stage.

Just like Mr. Maoer, unless the rocket is lit with split wood, what can the rocket expert do?

Let's put it this way, even if the rocket expert took one look at him, he would have lost.

There are old and new people in the antique shop, and there are especially many amateurs who are half-full of vinegar. Those old players and regular customers naturally don't want to get together with a group of sticks and fight for things.

Therefore, powerful big shops have their own internal trade fairs. If they get something serious and good, they keep it secret and secretly tell some regular customers and let them bid in secret. This is the so-called "selling goods and knowing the family".

This kind of trade fair is called a goods market.

Not just any goods can be opened in the cross-selling yard. You must know that the participants are all veterans in the industry. If it is an ordinary thing, not only will the face not be shown, but the buttocks will also be exposed.

…

Mou Duanming walked to the living room, pointed to the huanghuali official hat chair, the Venus red sandalwood old plaque, the mahogany Zen chair, and then pointed to the purple sand flowerpot and said: "With these few things, it takes a few days to complete the three-dimensional transformation of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei."

What do you think of playing with wood together?"

Mou Duanming was particular about the things he chose.

Mi Xiangyang painted landscapes, Tang Bohu painted beauties, each had his or her own abilities, and no one could be an all-rounder.

Each of the several categories of collection is broad and profound. They are all collections, but players almost all have their own focus, just like Wu Hufan reads calligraphy and painting, Sun Yingzhou collects porcelain, and Wang Shixiang plays with wood.

If you cross the wrong doorway, you might end up making a fool of yourself.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, my country's largest collector has been Xiang Yuanbian, and the biggest joke in the antique business is also about this man.

Don't tell me anything about Qianlong, let's not make any arguments.

How do you describe Xiang Yuanbian's Tianlai Pavilion?

The collection of calligraphy and paintings is probably half that of the Palace Museum.

The treasures of Chinese calligraphy and painting in many museums around the world come from him.
