The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The fourth box on the back is very distinctive. It is not an ordinary wooden crate, but a green patent leather metal box. The surface is slightly rusty and looks like an old antique.

Guan Xingquan saw Zhang Nan's attention look at the metal box, and said on one side: "This piece was originally placed in a wooden box, one box with two metal boxes, you will definitely like the contents inside."

The tone is very positive.

In addition to the big living person, Zhang Nan likes a lot of things, but if it is something he particularly likes, it doesn't seem to be much.

Take a look, what is inside.

There are characters on the iron box, but Zhang Nan can't understand it. The judgement should be in German, but there is an emblem on the surface of the box that Zhang Nan recognizes: the two eagles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

When I squatted and opened the buckle, it was originally a bit rusty. It was opened in the tunnel by Guan Xingquan and others. Inside, they saw two very thick cardboard boxes with seals on them.

At this point, Zhang Nan couldn't help it, and raised his head to ask Guan Xingquan: "What kind of coin is in it?"

The surface of the carton has characters similar to the surface of the iron box, as well as Arabic numerals of 1848 and 1808. With the seal on the carton, Zhang Nan feels that it is very likely that it will be a coin, and it is still a very precious gold coin.

Four-layer packaging, plus small size and high weight, the color of the goods inside is indistinguishable: the iron box sets the carton and the seal. This is the packaging of the coins when they leave the factory. I don’t know whether the box is filled with coins or bags. Most likely it is a boxed coin, which is not so heavy.

Hearing Zhang Nan’s question, Guan Xingquan rarely smiled and said: “The 100 kronor gold coin of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1908 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Emperor Franz-Joseph’s reign.”

Zhang Nan's eyes lit up, "Goddess on the cloud?"

Boss Guan nodded, "It's the goddess on the cloud."

Comrade Guan Xingquan is now also playing coin collection, and Zhang Nan is even more so. He has always had a special preference for round coins, but he is not fanatical, he pays attention to collecting casually.

In the previous life, the conditions were limited, and I only played the modern mechanical coin collections available in the general Huaxia market. Now, I play all over the world.

Among the precious metal currencies in the West, there are several gold and silver coins that are not only exquisite in composition, superb casting craftsmanship, but not large in existence. They are highly evaluated in the collection circle. Among them is this "goddess on the cloud"!

Zhang Nan is rich and very rich. As for Boss Guan, he has enough money to collect any coins in the world that he is interested in. However, neither of these two have the habit of going to auction companies to buy rare coins. When I go to the coin market.

It's reasonable to buy some at the market price. Generally, you don't go to the auction market. If you only spend money, you will lose a lot of fun.

Because of this, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan have not acquired a high-level "Goddess of Cloud".

There are very few commemorative gold coins in circulation on the market, and they occasionally appear in auction houses. For a gold coin weighing 33.92 grams, nearly $20,000 is needed for a nearly unused product. Zhang Nan is not in the habit of being taken advantage of.

And here is a whole tin box with numbers on the carton-one carton of 150, one tin box of 300, and at least another tin box of 300 on the second train!

There are 600 pieces in total. Do other collectors and museums add up to that many?

Take out a box and put it on a dining table, "Wangfeng, give me a knife."

Knowing that Jiang Wangfeng has a knife on his body, or the kind that can be used as a letter opener.

Sure enough, the latter didn't know where to take out a single-edged dagger with a length of more than twenty centimeters. It was handmade and had a thin blade.

The factory seals are all 82 years ago, and there is no expectation to be uncovered, so the standard is to cut them quickly and not hurt up and down.

Ordinary commemorative coins pay attention to roll coins more expensive than loose, box coins are better than rolls, it is best to come in an unopened box. But if it is a gold and silver coin with a nearly unused image, it is a transparent "box coin".

They are all in opaque cartons. Is it that every inspection and appreciation is served by X-rays?

As soon as the box was opened, it was divided into three rows: instead of rolled coins, they were bagged coins packed in paper bags, using small kraft paper bags similar to the kind of early military medals.

After taking out a new pair of gloves and putting it on, Zhang Nan carefully took out a small bag from it, holding it in his right hand, leaning it on the palm of his left hand, and gently pouring it down.

With a professional holding method, the thumb and index finger skillfully clamped the two sides of the sliding gold coin, and a bright gold coin with a mirror effect appeared in front of Zhang Nan's eyes.

A leader in the history of coinage in modern Europe, a classic in the coinage classics of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a completely unused "goddess on the cloud" that remains in the factory state has appeared in front of everyone.

The portrait of Franz Joseph, a 70-year-old beard on the front, is quite imposing, but in the eyes of coin collectors, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously a supporting role on this gold coin: on the back, a goddess lies half on a cloud with his hand resting. The double-headed eagle shield of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has a perfect composition!

Everyone who has coin collectors commented on the "Goddess of Clouds": The delicate and layered sculptures demonstrate the demeanor that the European coinage power should have with a long history. The attractive figure, the beautiful face, and the classics are classics!

Under the light, there is almost no scratch on the surface of this gold coin. UU Reading www.uukanshu. The com mirror effect is obvious.

In fact, it is not even an exquisite coin: there is no such thing as a refined coin in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is just that the mold polishing technology is relatively advanced and the pressure during stamping is sufficient, so these ordinary commemorative gold coins have a strong mirror effect.

Not said, good stuff!

Enough, Zhang Nan said, "This one with original paper bags can sell for at least US$20,000, or even 30,000 in New York!"

Pass it to Guan Xingquan, who smiled and said, "I don't want to wear gloves, let's talk about it."

No one on the side wants to join in the fun and take a look. They all understand that such a product in the factory state should be touched by as few people as possible before it enters the special rating sealed box.

In case it goes down...

It's safe to lose half the value directly!

A gold coin can be more than 30 times the price of gold, or even more than 50 times the price of gold, this is a very powerful existence in gold coins!

Carefully put away the box and put the box back in place: opening one carton is enough, and there is no need to open the other.

The four boxes of gold asked the guys to move to the "finance room" and put them away temporarily. Here Zhang Nan asked about the latest details.

"...The 12-section train in the east and the 14-section train in the west are all wagons, which are what we often call stuffy tankers.

The standard 30-ton model in the 1930s and 1940s. All the doors of the carriages were sealed with lead. We have all unloaded them and probably looked at the situation inside. The cargo boxes are the main ones, the pockets are relatively small, and there are some naked-goods, which should be works of art. . "

As he said, Guan Xingquan took out a few lead seals from his pocket, "We have seen carefully that there are three types of seals. The car on the west side should have been regrouped. There are two types of seals for the front and rear carriages.

We only recognize that the one written on it is Vienna. The twelve carriages on the east side are all sealed with this kind of lead. The ones on the west side are hard to recognize. "
