"Of course, the size of the bronze statue that was sold at that time was much larger than yours. However, the style, the period of construction, and even the craftsmanship were very similar. At that time, the Buddha statue was 216 centimeters tall, while yours was much smaller, only 43.2 centimeters. It can be considered a miniature version of 5:1.”
"As for the valuation, we're not very sure, but your Buddha statue should be able to sell for at least three to four million yuan. If the competition is fierce, it's not impossible to sell it for tens of millions.”
After Ye Han heard the " report " from the person-in-charge of Christie's, he was also stunned for a moment. This was because Ye Han had always thought that among the antiques he brought out, the most valuable ones might be the jars and pots. After all, porcelain sounded very high-end. However, he did not expect that the copper Buddha, which he thought was relatively inconspicuous, would become a hot cake.
Moreover, Ye Han also noticed the problem of the imitation goods that the person in charge had just mentioned. If it was an imitation from the Republic of China, then for Ye Han, wasn't it equivalent to buying a fake?
As expected, no matter which era it was, there would always be a group of speculators who came to make fake goods to deceive people. If it was the current way of saying it, buying fake antiques was eye-catching. It was fine if he was scammed. After all, it was the current industry rules. However, in the hidden plane, Ye Han was not prepared to let it go so easily.
Ye Han was still thinking about how he should settle the score with the merchant who sold fake goods in the hidden plane when he got home today. In the end, the appraisal expert discovered a new problem. Of course, this time, it was still good news for Ye Han.
"Wow! This was…Should be calendar Tongbao? Mr. Ye, congratulations, you really found an extremely rare top-grade ancient coin in this jar of copper coins!”
The expert's congratulations made Ye Han confused. Ying Li Tong Bao? What was that? Was it very valuable?
Looking at Ye Han's dumbfounded look, the expert quickly explained," The calendar treasure is an ancient coin cast by Emperor Muzong of the Liao Kingdom during the calendar year. It is very rare in the world. There should be less than ten calendar treasures known to exist in the world, so it is also one of the 50 treasures of the ancient spring. Its value is very high."”
The person in charge of the auction house at the side saw Ye Han's half-understanding look and also went forward to explain,"Last time, one of the Eternal Spring's fifty treasures was finally auctioned off for 3.7 million. Your one is even less in existence, and it's preserved very well, so the transaction price will definitely not be lower than that one."”
The person-in-charge's words finally made Ye Han understand. In other words, this ancient coin of his should also be able to be exchanged for a top-grade item worth a few million? Not bad, not bad. This ancient coin was indeed considered a treasure.
However, before Ye Han could finish his joy, the appraisal expert made a new discovery." Hey, there's actually a Da Qi Tong Bao here!" This was the first Southern Tang coin recorded in history! There should only be two of them now. This should be the third one, right?”
Hearing the expert's sigh, Ye Han was also excited. Since it sounded so high-end, then wouldn't it be more valuable than the so-called Ying Li Tong Bao? If that was the case, the jar of copper coins that he had exchanged for 1,000 US dollars was really a huge bargain!
Soon, the jars of copper coins were all appraised by the various experts. There were no more ancient spring coins, but there were many other ancient coins, such as the Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was the currency of the Tang Dynasty. There were also many Chunhua Yuan ingots from the Song Dynasty.
Most of these ancient coins were not very valuable. After all, an ordinary Kaiyuan Tongbao was only worth dozens of yuan. However, these experts were really amazing. They could even find a treasure among these Kaiyuan Tongbao. It was a double-sided gold-plated Kaiyuan Tongbao with official script. Its market price was about 20,000 yuan.
Of course, Ye Han didn't really care about this small amount of money anymore. He would take these copper coins back and keep them for his own collection. Perhaps he could open a teleportation gate to the ancient times in the future. At that time, he could still use these copper coins to deal with emergencies.
After that, there was naturally a huge pile of formalities. Although these auction items were not as valuable as Dao Wu's painting, there were still some that were valued at millions or even close to ten million. Therefore, after counting all the miscellaneous items, Ye Han had a stack of 'insurance' that totaled more than twenty million.
It was already afternoon after he finished dealing with the matters at the auction house. Ye Han couldn't care about anything else. After leaving the auction house, he went straight to the food processing factory and brought home today's 'special' instant noodles and biscuits. Next, it was another day trip to the hidden plane.
