Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 192 Moon Palace Mirror

Banliang Quanqian was born because after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, Qin money was difficult to use and it was difficult to use. Qianwen still used Banliang from the pre-Qin period.

In other words, the actual weight of the coins minted during the Western Han Dynasty was far less than half a liang, and the half liang coins should have been allowed to be minted by private people, so their weights varied.

It is precisely because the half-liang coins are irregular in shape and weight that the society at that time needed a kind of power money, which was equivalent to a weight.

Some coins weigh around 33 grams, and some weigh around 56 grams, which is exactly 15 or 20 pieces. There are also other sizes and weights.

This kind of money is extremely rare and can be said to be a rare genuine product, so its collection value is extremely high!

Although the remaining coins are like Xianfeng's fifty coins, compared with this half a tael, they are a bit too short!

According to the previous quotation, the old man had no objections. Including this half a tael, Ding Mao received it for only 80 yuan.

After seeing the old man's large sum of money being sold, everyone had a reference, and soon someone started taking their own large sum of money.

Among the many coins, you can finally see a few good ones, but the most surprising and delicate thing for Ding Mao is an 11-tael Hongwu Tongbao back with a straight edge and uncirculated ash.

Among the many emperors in history, one of the ones Ding Mao admired the most was the most inspiring and legendary Emperor Hongwu.

(In order to prevent people from being misunderstood, I will not introduce the legendary deeds of this great emperor here. The previous introduction was only to explain why the price of such collections has increased!)

In addition to some famous coins minted during his reign, Ding Mao also liked this kind of coins!

As for the other types, Ding Mao has received a lot of them before, so there are no special editions!

People like to join in the fun, but when no one takes the goods anymore, some people start to disperse.

Ding Mao thought that no one would bring goods to sell anymore, so he deliberately closed the stall and walked around the village before rushing to the next place.

But just after the people dispersed, a woman who had been watching before came over again.

Pointing to the picture of a bronze mirror on the advertising cloth, he asked, "How much does this kind of mirror cost?"

As soon as he saw another business coming to his door, Ding Mao was no longer in a hurry to close the stall.

Said: "Sister, this also depends on things. The years are different, the sizes are different, the carved patterns are different, and the prices are also different!"

The woman hesitated after hearing this, but did not take out anything, but continued to ask: "What's the approximate price?"

Ding Mao thought for a moment and said: "There's really no way to tell the approximate price. There are prices of around a hundred and ten yuan, prices of two to three hundred yuan, and prices of one thousand and eight hundred yuan. You definitely can't determine the price without looking at the items!"

Hearing this, the woman hesitated again, then took out a copper mirror and handed it to Ding Mao.

"Then look, how much money can I get for this?"

Ding Mao smiled and took it. When he got it, he saw that it was a moon palace mirror from the Ming Dynasty.

This type of bronze mirror is actually relatively rare, and its collection value is quite high. Some people think it is earlier in terms of year, but Ding Mao still thinks it is from the Ming Dynasty!

The bronze mirror is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times, about 18cm in size. The back of the mirror is decorated with a large osmanthus tree with lush branches and leaves in the center. The roots are intertwined, and the middle of the trunk is raised as a mirror button. There is a jumping golden toad below the tree.

On one side is a Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, with its ears erect, its legs hollowed out, and its feet on auspicious clouds. It is holding a pestle to pound medicine in a round container. The overall skeletal and muscular feeling is vividly expressed.

On the other side is the flying Chang'e, with combed hair and temples, fluttering clothes, feet on auspicious clouds, and holding a treasure.

The entire mirror is dark and antique, with clear patterns, free and straightforward lines, classic pattern composition, auspicious meaning, and a sense of story and artistic taste!

"Sister, can I give you 300 yuan for this mirror?"

The woman frowned, hesitated, and said, "I won't sell it at this price. Please return the mirror to me!"

Saying that, the woman started to take back the bronze mirror.

Ding Mao would not let go easily, and said quickly: "Sister, don't worry! We can negotiate how much you want to sell it for!"

"The price I want to sell it for is quite different from yours. I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. To be honest, I've fallen in love with this mirror. It's okay if it's a little more expensive. I can get it as long as I don't travel much. I'll let you know the price first! Maybe The deal will be done!"

The woman thought for a while and finally quoted the price she wanted!

"I want 1000 yuan, can you give it to me?"

Ding Mao deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated for a while before speaking again.

"Sister, let's be honest, this can be sold for five or six hundred yuan without a mirror. 1000 yuan is indeed a lot more than that, but I really like it. Let's discuss it. Do you think 800 yuan is okay?"

In just two sentences, he settled his previous low bid and made his next bid seem reasonable!

The woman looked at the change in Ding Mao's expression, but did not see any loopholes.

Said: "I just want to sell it for 1000 yuan. If it works, I will sell it to you!"

Ding Mao looked embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to let go of the mirror.

At this time, Yang Xue on the side spoke.

"Sister, if you ask for this price, we will basically have to pay half of it. It is indeed too much. Even if I really like it, I can't pay so much. How about this, I will give you another 50 yuan!"

Seeing that the two of them didn't look fake, the woman said, "Then take one of them. You add 100 yuan, and I'll give you 100 yuan. If it works for 900 yuan, I'll buy it for you. If it doesn't work, I'll throw it away!"

Ding Mao knew that it would be easy to make others angry if he continued to explain, so he deliberately thought about it for a while, then pretended to discuss it with Yang Xue in a low voice.

Then he said again: "Okay, sister, who do you think I really like it? I can keep the profit for myself to play with!"

So he counted out 900 yuan and handed it to the woman.

"Sister, would you like to check the money? Also look at the price!"

After the woman counted them carefully, she looked at each one carefully in front of the sun, and rubbed the braille and other places with her hands to identify the authenticity, then nodded with satisfaction and put the money in her pocket.

Ding Mao was overjoyed. The leak he picked up today was not a big one. It was simply not too big.

Especially this copper mirror. Ding Mao had seen a mirror of this type in his previous life. It was similar in appearance and size to the one he received. The asking price reached Xiao Qi!

And that half-liang coin, judging from its appearance and weight, could reach the price of Xiaoliu in the future.

These two items alone can be considered a great harvest, not to mention there are many other small exquisite coins!
