Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 167 I couldn’t hold it back, opened it and read it

What he handed them was not small copper coins of one or five cents. He put 50 of the 24 coins in one jar and 26 coins in the other jar, mixing them together.

(For copper coins, the small denominations of one and five cents are rarer and are usually more valuable than those of ten and twenty cents)

"They are all coins from the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu Yuanbao and Qing Dynasty copper coins. The jars are well sealed and there is no water or moisture!"

While they were watching, Wu Yuansheng said again.

As for coins, they haven't been in contact with each other for more than a year or two, and they can tell whether they are good or bad just by looking at them.

"It's in really good condition! How do you plan to sell it if it goes public?"

Chen Guangxing carefully looked at the two copper coins in his hand, exchanged them with Zhou Anming and looked at them again before asking him.

The so-called "Tongchong" means counting by numbers.

"The copper coins I bought back were not selected. There are many rare editions in them, including one-pen and five-cent coins. The copper coins are generally in good condition. If they are popular, they cost at least 40 yuan each, but in the end It's better to wait until I pour out all the coins and you can look at them and decide whether to buy them individually or share them together, and we'll discuss it later."

In fact, when he was choosing those small copper coins before, he had calculated that with the current collection market price of copper coins of one penny or five penny, in such good condition, one coin could be sold for at least a thousand yuan on average.

Although some may only be worth a few hundred, others are worth thousands. These small copper coins alone can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

There are other special copper coins worth ten or twenty coins, some of which are worth hundreds or even thousands.

The remaining ordinary ones are worth ten or 20 yuan because they are in good condition, and some people want them.

Calculating this on average, the price is 40 yuan per piece, which is not expensive.

"Okay! Pour out all the coins and let us take a look."

Li Laoer said as he returned the two copper coins to him.

Wu Yuansheng took the curtain that had been used to cover the wine, placed it on the ground, and poured out the two jars of copper coins.

He mixed the one-cent and five-cent coins in it just to prove that he had not selected the coins inside.

Now after pouring it out, he started looking for the small coins inside.

While he was searching, Lao Chen, Manzi, Li Laoer, and Lao Zhou all started digging in the pile of money.

Finally, everyone found all the small copper coins that he had selected and put inside together.

"There are 50 of them! Put these aside for now, and let's take a look at the editions in Ten Wen and Twenty Wen."

Manzi counted the "little coins" that everyone had just found together and said. As he spoke, he began to look at the larger coins again.

"There are so many, it would be too time-consuming to look at them one by one. I have already seen some of them, and they are indeed mixed with copper coins worth hundreds or even thousands of ten or twenty coins, and those small copper coins of one or five coins. Xiao Wu said one thousand for one coin, which was actually very conservative.

I said it openly, everyone will definitely come to him to buy things in the future, 40 a piece, I want it, if you don’t want it, leave it all to me. "

Zhou Anming looked at the time and said to everyone, a bit urging.

"What Lao Zhou said makes sense, Xiao Wu, you should know how many kilograms of these coins there are in total and how many coins there are."

After listening to what Lao Zhou said, Chen Guangxing probably didn't want to waste any more time. He still had something to buy, so he followed suit.

"The copper coins weigh about 50 kilograms, and there are almost 3000 of them. If you get 40 coins each, it only costs 12 yuan!"

He quickly told the story of the coins.

"Is there anyone who doesn't want these copper coins?"

After Wu Yuansheng finished speaking, Zhou Anming asked again.

He asked, and no one said no.

Still following the method of randomly taking money and weighing it, they asked Wu Yuansheng to weigh it and divide the copper coins into four parts, and then put 12 copper coins in each part of one penny and five penny copper coins.The extra two were also placed in two of them.

Finally, it was covered with paper, and they used the rock-paper-scissors method, and whoever won picked one first.

<divclass="contentadv">These coins are worth 3 each.

Those who did not get two small copper coins can share the two old ceramic jars containing money.

In fact, buying things this way involves a lot of gambling for both parties, but it also saves trouble.

In the end, Lao Zhou and Yu Laosan didn't get the two extra small coins of one and five cents, so they each got a jar.

After dividing the copper coins, Wu Yuansheng took out the cloth from his backpack. These cloths were all of the same type.

He dug out a total of 53 coins before, and Yan Shun exchanged "small fish" for 1 coin. Now there are exactly 52 coins, and each of them divided 13 coins.

The price they negotiated for these cloths was 200 yuan each, and he sold them for another 10400 yuan.

After selling the cloth, he then took some copper coins he had obtained during this period, the Wuzi Dengke bronze mirror and the geometric pattern bronze mirror he had just obtained today, and two large unicorn plates that were broken but could be pieced together completely.

Five ancient books, slides, a large saucepan-glazed teapot, a tin kettle, a small teacup with blue glaze, and some folk items brought back from the demolition area during this period and placed here were all sold to a few of them.

Among these copper coins, he bought another 5500 yuan, which included a few large coins, spent coins, Yongzheng Tongbao, Kangxi Arhat coins, and other special coins.

Two bronze mirrors cost 2000 yuan.

Two large unicorn plates, from the Ming Dynasty, cost 1000 yuan in total.

Five ancient books cost 2000 yuan together. Before, he bought these for 100 yuan each.

Small tea bowl with blue glaze, 500 yuan.

The remaining folk items were sold together for 3000 yuan.

Every time he sells something, he writes it down in a notebook.

The final calculation showed a total of 204400 yuan.

For people like Zhou Anming, Manzi, Chen Guangxing, and Li Laoer who are not very short of money, making money is only one aspect of collecting in their spare time. The greater benefit is that they find fun in collecting!

This will definitely happen when I have some real industry support in the future, a stable income, and no shortage of money.

But it’s not possible yet, and we will have to struggle for a few more years.

"Have you opened the iron money from last time?"

After buying things and preparing to take them to the car, Li Laoer asked the other three people.

He was asking questions knowingly. Except for Manzi, Lao Zhou and Lao Chen had both said before that they would keep it as is, and they would definitely not break the jar open.

"What, you opened it and read it?"

After hearing what Li Lao Er said, Yu Lao San asked him curiously.

Chen Guangxing and Zhou Anming also looked at him.

"I was a little curious, so I couldn't hold it back. I opened it and took a look. In addition to the iron coins, I also found two iron men about 15 centimeters tall inside."

Seeing them looking at him, Li Laoer didn't show any concern and directly said that he had opened the jar.

"Really? Are the coins inside in good condition?"

Manzi then asked him again. He asked this, indicating that he definitely did not open the can.

"They are similar to the ones Xiaowu sold to us. They are in good condition! Do you want to see what the Iron Man looks like?"

Li Laoer said with a smile, with another appetizing expression.
