Five Million!
Elegant Treasury Pavilion,
Shen Xu rushed in and went straight to the second floor.
The waiters in the shop all knew him and knew that he was a relative of the boss, so they did not stop him. They continued to do what they had to do.
On the second floor of Elegant Treasury Pavilion,
Huang Wenjun looked at Shen Xu, who was rushing up, and frowned.
"Xiao Xu, is there anything urgent?"
Shen Xu picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips to calm himself down.
Only then did he open his palm, revealing the coin in his palm.
"Uncle Huang, can you remove the copper rust on the coin without damaging it?”
In the antique business, the appearance of the objects was also very important.
For the same item, the difference between a well-preserved and a badly preserved item could be hundreds of thousands. If the value was higher, the difference would be even greater.
Uncle Huang Wenjun was Shen Xu's father's best friend.
When Shen Xu was dealing with the antiques in Boyuan House, he looked for Huang Wenjun.
The two families had been friends since their grandfather's generation.
Huang Wenjun's father was in the field of restoration of ancient relics.
Although Huang Wenjun did not inherit his father's legacy, he had been influenced by his father since he was young. In addition, he was in this industry himself, so he had received some of Grandpa Huang's teachings.
Besides, removing the bronze rust did not require much skill. It just needed to be done in a more meticulous manner.
Shen Xu was very familiar with Huang Wenjun's skills and felt assured.
Huang Wenjun picked up the copper coin in Shen Xu's hand.
She explained to Shen Xu as she watched,
"The formation of green rust is different in the north and south. The north is dry and has less rain. It was rainy and humid in the south, and the oxygen layer was loose and mostly blue and green.”
"As for yours, it belongs to the typical northern rust. The northern rust is relatively shallow, so you can use the dry brushing method. If it's the southern rust, you usually have to use the vinegar soaking method.”
Then, he said,
Huang Wenju found a broken brush and used a pair of scissors to trim the hair on the brush.
He laid a flat piece of cloth on the table, placed the coins on the cloth, and fixed them. Then, he held the brush rod and started to brush evenly.
Copper rust is relatively shallow,
Soon, the coin hidden under the bronze rust slowly revealed its true appearance.
When Huang Wenjun saw the word " as soon as possible " appear, he seemed to have thought of something. His hand that was holding the brush trembled slightly, and he could not help but speed up the cleaning of the bronze rust.
When the bronze rust on the coin is completely cleaned,
Huang Wenjun looked at the words 'Heavenly Blessing Tong Bao', and he instantly became excited.
He hurriedly picked up the magnifying glass on the table and carefully observed it.
On the whole, this Heavenly Family Tong Bao was a square-holed round coin, which implied that the sky was round and the earth was square.
From Qian Wen's calligraphy, it was quiet and handsome. The word "Heaven" was tilted to the right, and the last stroke was slightly short. The word "as soon as possible" is fat but not fat, meaningful atmosphere; The word "pass" had a hint of meaning, especially when walking beside it. The word "treasure" is slightly high, and the shell part is long and powerful.
The casting was exquisite, the copper color was warm, the shape was standard, the patina was natural, and the appearance was intact.
The coin had a slightly darker surface and a slightly lighter back, and the opening was clean and neat, completely consistent with the characteristics of its era.
After a long time, Huang Wenjun let out a long sigh.
"Little Xu, where did you get this copper coin?”
Shen Xu chuckled.
"Uncle Huang, would you believe me if I said that I just collected it?”
Huang Wenjun's expression froze, and then he flatly denied,
"Impossible, there are only three of them in this world, and I know who has each one.”
"I didn't take it from a private person. I picked it up!”
Shen Xu pretended to be mysterious and said to Huang Wenjun,
Huang Wenjun was stunned. Such a precious coin was actually picked up from the ground. This was simply unbelievable!
Shen Xu looked at Huang Wenjun's face full of disbelief and urged him,
"Uncle Huang, don't just look at it. Give me an estimate!”
When Huang Wenjun heard Shen Xu's words, he recovered from his shock.
After pondering for a moment, Huang Wenjun slowly said,
"The Tianjuan Tong Bao has been recognized by the academic community as a great treasure of ancient coins. After thousands of years of wind and frost, it is extremely rare in the world. It belongs to the ancient spring's fifty treasures and is extremely valuable for appreciation and collection.”
"Year 16, a Tianjuan Tong Bao of inferior quality was auctioned at 3.8 million. Considering its current premium and future appreciation potential, plus the fact that this coin is in good condition, I estimate it to be worth 5 million!”
5 million!
The number that Uncle Huang said made Shen Xu flabbergasted.
Although he had previously estimated its price and was mentally prepared, he still remembered that a small copper coin was actually worth five million! It made Shen Xu's heart beat faster.
Shen Xu used to be from a wealthy family with assets of tens of millions.
However, after his parents and grandfather passed away, due to poor management, he disposed of the remaining antiques in Boyuan Zhai.
The money from selling antiques was basically used to settle their funeral.
The price of Zhong Hai's cemetery was comparable to the property price!
This time, Shen Xu had picked up the Heavenly Treasure.
The cost was only 200 yuan, but it was worth 5 million yuan.
A total of 25000 times the profit!
What kind of industry could have such huge profits?
Although it was impossible for Shen Xu to pick up such a loophole every day, with the existence of the system, it was probably easy to pick up a loophole.
Moreover, this process of picking up scraps gave Shen Xu a sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, he truly felt the charm of antiques!
