The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

All kinds of European silver coins, Dutch Wilhelmina, Spanish Alfonso, Nicholas II silver rubles... Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, plus Germany and Austria, Central Europe, all countries have everything in a mess, some Divided into categories, but most of them are still mixed.

Not only in Europe, but also a small amount of discovery in other big states, silver is money everywhere, even the silver coins before the liberation of China are a little bit.

If he owned one of the boxes in his previous life, Zhang Nan would be very happy, even if it was basically a common variety, it didn't matter, and it couldn't stop the large amount.

But it won’t work. There are thousands of tons in the warehouse on my island. I haven’t had time to look at it and look through it. It’s scary to think about it!

Thousand tons of silver dollars, this is almost the 21st century, let alone individuals, it is estimated that no country will put so many in the vault.

No way, now that the gold and silver standards have been made.

The silver dollars in the basement are basically ordinary, but there is still a box that makes me more happy-one of the boxes is full of at least two thousand extra-large silver coins, a very special kind of silver dollar.

Regardless of the denomination, most silver dollars weigh between 26.5 grams and 27.2 grams. Of course, the big-nanny with low silver content does not count.

The new big-nanny can have 28 grams, which is considered a black heart, because its actual silver content is much less than that of the United States Station Yang, China Longyang, and Mexico Eagle Yang, which contain about 90% of silver.

There are also some European silver dollars that don’t use the “international standard” of about 27 grams. For example, Wilhelmina’s 2.5 guilds in the Netherlands weighs 25 grams. The silver content seems to be only 70%. This was not comparable to the “standard 27 gram silver coin” before. "Equivalent and universal, will be discounted, and this will be a bargain.

As for some "low silver coins" in the United Kingdom that contain less than 50% or 60% of silver, basically odd and even will not be counted as silver dollars.

In short, the weight of the mainstream silver dollar with modern mechanisms in the world is generally about 27 grams, but this silver coin that will give Zhang Nan a small surprise is not, obviously one size: the front is a person wearing armor, waving a sharp sword, A samurai sitting on the back of a soaring horse holding a Xinjiang rope in one hand.

Under the horse, there is a lion coat of arms symbol representing the Netherlands, and the outer ring is a Latin abbreviation, meaning: the Netherlands New Silver Coin of the United Province of the Netherlands.

Inside the shield frame in the middle of the back of the silver coin is a lion with a cocktail tail. The front paws hold a sharp sword and seven small arrows, which symbolize the seven provinces of the Netherlands.

The large crown on the upper part of the frame and the two standing lions on the left and right form the national emblem of the Netherlands. The words on the outer ring mean: "Combining the same little things to become a powerful force."

This kind of silver coin is still big today. No matter which mint or year it was made, it has a diameter of more than 40.5 millimeters and a weight of over 32.7 grams, and the weight can reach 33.6 grams. The general "standard silver coin" is only 39 mm in diameter, such as the big head of Yuan Yuan from China.

This is the "Dutch Horse Sword", also known as the Dutch Ducatio Silver Coin, which is the mechanical currency of the late 18th century. If the big-nanny of the same period is the trash in the silver coin, then this "Dutch Horse Sword" is a treasure.

Baby, stop chanting.

There were a lot of them when she appeared, but the problem lies in the weight: because this silver coin was so heavy, it was profitable to recast it into a standard silver coin of about 27 grams after melting, so most of it was destroyed by various countries.

One in and one out can produce almost 6 grams of silver, and 4 Dutch horse swords can be turned into 5 standard silver coins. This is a business idiot.

The consequence is that the number of it will be limited in the world, and it will be very popular in the European and American collection market, and the price will be more than ten times that of "Wilhelmina"!

Rare things are always attractive.

After busying for a long time, the number of silver coins found was almost 100,000. Zhang Nan looked at the five very long boxes in the basement that had not been opened yet and said: "If there are no other special discoveries on this trip, I will share them when I go back. Play with silver coins."

Guys smiled, it's not bad to have silver coins.

It's a pity that I didn't see many Chinese silver coins. In fact, I didn't have the time to carefully distinguish the more than 20 boxes of mixed silver dollars, otherwise I could always pick out some of them.

There was a Jiangnan Wuxu Dragon flipping and dancing on the back of the boss of Huiguan, which he had picked up and played with before.

I thought that the last five boxes would also contain silver coins, but it turned out not.

The five boxes were originally on the side of the steps entering the basement, not on the innermost side. It was just that I was busy looking for jewelry at first, and then I found the silver dollars in the uniform model ammunition box. Instead, the boxes beside the five steps were intentionally or unintentionally left to the end.

Inside were not jewels, antiques and money, but guns and boxes of bullets wrapped in greased paper.

Zhang Nan inspected a Walter P38, which is still brand new. This type of pistol has half a box, but apart from some spare magazines, there is no set of spare parts.

"The bakelite protector, the later model, is probably another gadget left by the Nazis to make a comeback."

But Walter is Walter, and German products are good. They have been in the basement for 45 years. The sound of empty gun firing is just like new. The magazine springs are also very flexible. They are packed in cartons. , The same new Parabellum ammunition should still be used normally.

The basement is not too dry ~www.readwn.com~ but it is not humid. With the protection of boxes and greased paper packaging, these old firearms and ammunition are in excellent condition.

However, the number of Walter P38s is not large. Except for the two PPKs, most of the short guns are miscellaneous. Some of them are not even named by Zach, and many are simply big in World War I. Partly eliminated, second-hand sold to the private "imperial runner".

At the end of the war, life for the Nazis was difficult.

There are also a wide variety of bullet models, and the quantity is different. Fortunately, most of the alternatives are packaged with the same alternative old guns, otherwise I don't understand what kind of guns and what ammunition.

Zhang Nan also turned out a large runner with a length of more than 30 cm. The bullet is so big that it can beat a rhino!

Zach knew this gun.

"This should be the 1870 revolver of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is said that the kinetic energy of bullets was the second in the world in pistols. I don't know if I can shoot elephants. Shooting bison is absolutely no problem. The bullet shell should also contain black powder."

Monster!

Rummaging and searching, there are five automatic pistols that are very interesting. They look like iron sheets. The materials are simple, but the workmanship is first-rate.

Tu Haibo held one in his hand. He had never seen such a pistol when he was training at the company: the training camp alone is a new gun, and there are hundreds of old guns. The trainees must at least use it, the most remote model. I have to put in a few shots, and God knows if I will hit it one day.

Zhang Nan looked at him curiously, and said, "That is the Walter People's Pistol from Germany. It was a rush to manufacture at the end of the war. I still have some. You can get one if you want.

"Is this rushed?"

Tu Haibo is unbelievable: This gun is of first-rate workmanship!

Zhang Nan smiled: "German."

That is, the Germans, that's the virtue.
