Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

14: 30.

Dong Xuebin, who was wheezing, carried a big bag of bronze coins from Sindhi back to Jiangu Hospital. After entering the orthopaedic ward, he put a big bag next to his hospital bed under the astonishing gaze of the fractured old man and his son. The coins shook and sounded delightful.

The old man was stunned: "Boy, what are you doing? ”

Tired Dong Xuebin smiled and sat down at the end of the bed. "I bought some ancient coins. ”

The old man's son said, "Dude, can't you buy so much? ”

“Oh, play around, play around.” When I saw the old man's Samsung laptop on the bedside table, Dong Xuebin hesitated for a moment, so I was embarrassed to laugh: “Brother, I saw you bring your laptop online yesterday. Is it a 3G Wi-Fi card? Well, if you don't need the book for now, can I borrow it for you? ”

He pushed the notebook quite generously, "Okay, whatever. ”

“Yo, that would be so nice. ”

“You're welcome. Your aunt helped my father with the water and brush his lunch box while I was away. I haven't thanked her yet. ”

In order to be afraid of nurses and doctors talking, Dong Xuebin did not dare to pour out the coins directly, but instead threw them in the dead corner between the bed and the wall and spread them out. His hands pulled the pickpockets inside, roughly counting the numbers. Then, Dong Xuebin was so emotional that he said, what, 1,400 copper coins, this pile didn't even reach 1,000, each copper coin was too small to calculate the quantity, so he fell for it, um, but never knew who had lost!

Dong Xuebin opened his laptop, connected to the Internet, and began to check the Internet against the name on the coin.

He doesn't have any antique identification, he can only rely on the internet.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes...

20 minutes…

There are so many different kinds of coins.

There are Chongning Zhongbao, Kaiyuan Tongbao, Xuan Tongbao, there are iron coins, there are copper coins, and he sees his eyes confused.

Dong Xuebin identified Dingshen, while making up a little bit of bad knowledge on several collectible websites and currency banknote forums, while starting to exclude this pile of coins, such as several currencies with obvious features, he still easily identified. Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan Tombo and North Song's Xuan Tombo and other currencies, these are all items with market value of a few yuan, the purchase price can not be estimated to reach a dollar, there is no collectible value.

Dong Xuebin picked up worthless copper coins one by one and threw them in a pocket and packed them separately.

One...

Ten...

Fifty...

It's a very tedious job, very patient.

So I picked and picked and picked one afternoon, and the outside dining car grunted and pushed to the door, and dinner arrived.

Dong Xuebin took a short break from his meal, and just after eating, he continued the screening work.

Three hundred and thirty...

350...

Four hundred and ten...

Dude, it's enough to rule out more than 500 worthless pieces of copper, less than 300 pieces left.

At 7: 30 pm, Yunxuan called to say that the unit still had a few things to take care of. He won't be here at night and will come back tomorrow morning. Dong Xuebin meant to keep her busy and not use it tomorrow, but Aunt Xuan said nothing and told him to hang up after a few words.

The old man's son is not leaving tonight, leaving the bed with him all night, mainly because the old man has no easy access to the toilet. Dong Xuebin asked for his opinions, and the other party said that the notebook was easy to use. There was no need to worry about the internet fees. He was in charge of reimbursement. Dong Xuebin was anxious to thank him. He said he would have to buy a notebook in the future. It's convenient to use it anywhere.

Dong Xuebin is a guy who can't help himself. Today, he intends to stay overnight to identify all these coins, otherwise he will not fall asleep.

So, the screening continues…

Five hundred and eighty...

650...

Six hundred and seventy...

But the rest is not so good to rule out. For example, like Chongning Zhongbao, there are many and many kinds of copper coins, such as flowers, resolutions, face stars, back star moon pattern, but the price is different. Thousands of them, hundreds of them, a few pieces of them, it's hard to tell if you're not a professional at this.

Find out, take your time.

Well, this is a clear token, big savings, pass!

Oh, that missing horn, the rust is too harsh, even the real thing is not worth it, pass!

It took another three hours and still nothing!

Until 1: 00 a.m., a rusty copper coin entered Dong Xuebin's sight just as he was about to give up. This ancient money is called "Jiading Yuanbao”. It is also available online for any price. It is different from the times, the casting size is different, and the price is very different. At first, Dong Xuebin didn't pay attention to it. He took this Jiading Yuanbao and compared it with the online sample currency image and text description. This is not, that's not right, and that doesn't match either.

After half a day of searching, I didn't see the same currency as myself.

Changed the website to continue searching, find, find, find, find, and land, an auction auction information was opened by Dong Xuebin.

Southern Song, Jiading Yuanbao folded ten times, cast in 1208 AD. Square hole, diameter 54 mm.

From the sample picture, the color, font, diameter, feel are almost exactly the same as my own Jiading Yuanbao. The only difference is that the auction is very beautiful and there are no rust marks, while Dong Xuebin's Jiading Yuanbao is slightly rusty.

Dong Xuebin casually moved his gaze to the auction price, and then... he was stupid.

Starting bid: 30,000 RMB.

Transaction price: RMB 62,000.

Shit, so expensive!

Absolutely!

That coin in Cheng's photo is definitely it!

Dong Xuebin took a deep breath in excitement and stared again at the price that exceeded his expectations. He couldn't help but think that he had missed 81 million. Who thought it was worth more than 60,000? Uh, no, the auction will definitely be overpriced, because it counts for commissions and taxes, and the actual value is a little lower. Khan, maybe it's fake, coin counterfeiting is too prevalent these days, eh, but I don't think so. Though Cheng's character is worse, his eyesight on coin identification is still recognized!

For the time being, Dong Xuebin checked the last small pile of coins online.

It's all worth a dollar or two, no more noteworthy.

With hundreds of trash coins packed under the bed, Dong Xuebin carefully held the Cardinal Yuanbao as much as he liked it. Yesterday Cheng bought nine pieces, but the little trick he played to cover his eyes and ears, actually attracted him to this Jiading Yuanbao, right?

Ha ha, we're gonna make money!!
