First, let me introduce myself. I am a professional coin appraiser. In his early years, he followed Mr. Zhang, a coin expert. I will introduce Mr. Zhang in detail later. Teacher Zhang is the professional chief coin consultant of Qingdao Collection Auction Co., Ltd., and he is responsible for every auction collection. Let's briefly sort out a few questions. First of all, the first question, which is also a question that everyone is generally concerned about, is there any value in the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, so the answer is yes, it is definitely valuable. So many Tibetan friends will ask me how much this is worth. The correct answer is that some copper coins in Qing Dynasty are worth a few dollars, some are worth hundreds of dollars, some are worth hundreds of thousands, and almost none are over one million. If you want to get rich overnight, please stay away from this antique industry. First of all, we must clarify a concept, which is the same as clearing copper coins. Why are some values so much and others so little? First of all, I want to say a simple truth, that is, five sets of RMB have been issued so far. Why is the price of the first set several million, the second set more than one million, and the third set several hundred thousand? In the same way, there will be a problem of version in ancient coins, such as the manufacture of coins in the Qing Dynasty, because since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been various coin-making and coin-casting workshops, so there are versions. For example, there is a difference between two coins, Baoquan Bureau and Baosu Bureau. So how to find out these differences is a technical problem. With fewer editions and less circulation, the value is naturally high, and vice versa. There is something wrong with the version of copper coins, and so are other versions. Because of this, there is a gap between some Qing copper coins worth a few dollars and some Qing copper coins worth hundreds of thousands. Qingdao collected 20 17 autumn auction, and a sample coin cast by Baoquan Bureau was sold for 880,000 yuan, with a commission of over one million yuan.
Second: Why are there wrong coins? Many Tibetan friends asked me why there were wrong coins in ancient times. I replied that there is a wrong version of RMB now, and the recently auctioned Fukumimi 100 RMB is an example. It's 580 thousand RMB. Modern mechanical printing has wrong editions, not to mention the underdeveloped production methods in ancient times, so it is not surprising that there are many wrong editions of copper coins. Generally speaking, the wrong edition of copper coins in Qing Dynasty has the following rules: First, there are mistakes in Qian Fan's production process. In ancient times, when minting coins, you should first make monetary model, and then make coins. If monetary model is not made correctly, the coin will definitely be wrong. Secondly, it is caused by the negligence of the coin-casting workers, such as the asymmetric installation of the machine-made coin grinding tools, which leads to the inversion of the faucet or the situation that it is not in a horizontal line. This situation exists. Generally speaking, this cost is higher than Qian Fan's mistake, because the money inspector will soon find that the coin has been corrected, so the amount of money left is relatively small. The value is higher.
Third, there are many mistakes in casting money privately. For example, their templates are not as good as those run by the government, so there are many mistakes that have been handed down and become rare coins.
Due to the above reasons, the version and price are different. Many vendors simply don't understand, saying rare books are ordinary products, resulting in the loss of rare local currency for no reason, and the loss of hundreds of thousands of quick money by Tibetan friends.
So many of these people are asking whether it is valuable, so they should understand after reading the above questions, both valuable and worthless. Mainly depends on the version. At present, Mr. Zhang's is the most outstanding version. Mr. Zhang devoted himself to the study of coin edition in 1950s. At that time, he collected coins at 50 cents a catty, and divided them according to the edition. The good edition was left and the bad edition was returned to the coin seller. Therefore, since the 1950s, Mr. Zhang finally collected all the editions and planned to publish them in a book. Later, because of his age, Mr. Zhang donated all the coins to Qingdao. We all benefited a lot from Mr. Zhang. And get words and deeds.
