Chapter 497 Gold Standard Silver Coin

While Chu Chen was looking at the pair of silver plates, other people also came over.

When the boss saw that the two of them were actually the couple from yesterday, his first thought was that the other party was here to settle accounts with him, which made him feel tense, but then he didn't take any notice from everyone's faces. Seeing something strange, he felt relieved, and immediately guessed that the other party might not have discovered that the thing was a fake.

Thinking of this, the boss rolled his eyes and said to Liu Sizhe with a smile: "Sir, you are here again. I just took some very precious silver coins from an old man today. Are you interested?"

When Liu Sizhe saw the boss smiling all over his face, he wanted to go up and punch him twice, but Youdao said that he would not hit the smiling face, and if he really hit him, he would also be unlucky, so he could only forcefully smile and say: "Okay, let's take a look!"

This time, the silver coins mentioned by the boss were not placed casually on the stall as before, but were packed in a box containing medals. However, Liu Sizhe took a look and was extremely speechless, because if the silver coins inside were real, Yes, the value was at least a million or more, and such a precious thing was placed on the stall casually, and he was sentenced to death after thinking about it for a while.

The boss said in his not fluent Mandarin, "Sir, I spent a lot of effort to get these three silver coins. What do you think?"

"I haven't looked at it carefully yet, so how do I know if it's good or not?" Liu Sizhe said angrily.

The boss smiled shyly and said, "That's fine, take your time and call me if you like it. You are also a regular customer, and I will definitely give you a cheaper price."

Just as the boss finished speaking, Chu Chen pointed to the pair of silver plates he had seen just now and asked, "Boss, how much is this pair of plates?"

At this time, the boss also knew that Chu Chen was supposed to be with Liu Sizhe, which made him wonder whether Chu Chen would be the kind of fool with a lot of money, so he tried to quote a price:

"Sir, you have really good eyesight. These are a pair of silver platters specially made for the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. I also got them together with the three silver coins from your friend..."

"Okay, okay! Tell me how much it is! We have something to do later!" Chu Chen waved his hand pretending to be impatient.

"One fifty thousand HKD!" The boss stretched out his hand with a smile.

"What!" Chu Chen said with a look of surprise: "You want [-] for one plate like this? Don't be kidding, okay, let alone [-] for one, even if it's [-] for a pair, I wouldn't buy it! If there are five thousand ones, you can still consider it!"

"Sir, what you said is wrong!" The boss pretended to be displeased and said, "How can there be five thousand pieces of such exquisite silverware?"

Chu Chen sneered, and said: "I admit that this pair of plates is really pretty, but I have to say one thing, what silverware have you seen with so much copper rust on the surface? This is obviously a defective product, if I don't think This pair of plates looks old enough, and the workmanship is relatively exquisite, I won't even pay five thousand!"

The boss laughed when he heard the words, and didn't care too much. After all, he asked for a lot of money and paid back the money on the ground, and only those who wanted to buy would pick some faults. With this in mind, he said with a smile:

"I admit that both of these plates are flawed, but [-] is definitely impossible. If you really want one, then [-], or both, count your [-], it's okay Bar!"

"It's too expensive, at most one to five thousand!"

"Sir, I'm at a loss at your price. You want me to earn some hard-earned money. I'll give you another six thousand. Do you think it's okay?"

"The maximum is [-], if it doesn't work, forget it!"

"Chu Chen said resolutely, he is very confident in saying that, the boss even got the silver plates wrong, how could he think that this pair of silver plates would be genuine?
"make a deal!"

When the boss agreed, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the old saying is that it is wrong to divide people into groups, this person is obviously much more difficult to deal with than his friends!
At the same time, Liu Sizhe was also muttering secretly, because he found that these three silver coins were so real, they were exactly the same as the real ones, but after what happened yesterday and his preconceived opinions, he finally felt that the three silver coins The silver coin should be a high imitation.

Chu Chen paid the money, and the boss quickly helped him wrap up the two silver plates.

But what surprised the boss was that Liu Sizhe actually put the silver coin back in its original place, so he quickly asked, "Sir, what is this?"

Liu Sizhe shook his head and said, "I don't like these three silver coins!"

The boss was a little unhappy when he heard it: "How could my silver coin be wrong? Oh! You are afraid that the price is too expensive, don't worry, we are born once, and we are familiar with each other. I will give you a discount, eight thousand One is enough!"

When Liu Sizhe heard his quotation, he felt that his idea was correct. If these three silver coins were genuine, how could there be such an outrageous price?So he shook his head again and again, saying no.

Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly sighed slightly, Liu Sizhe's current behavior is completely like being bitten by a snake once, and afraid of well ropes for ten years!Because these three silver coins have passed Baojue's screening just now, that is to say, they are all genuine and correct.

Since Liu Sizhe didn't want it, he definitely couldn't give it up, and then he pretended to be curious and took the box up, but when he saw the three silver coins inside, he also somewhat understood why Liu Sizhe had such a reaction up.

Because, even he is quite surprised at the moment, these three silver coins are actually the gold standard silver coins of Sun Yat-sen in the 21st year of the Republic of China, so they are known as the great reputation among the silver coins of Chinese portraits!

In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), the national government implemented a new currency system, adopting the gold standard currency system designed by the economic and economic expert Ganmal of Namibia. It wanted to implement it nationwide, so it ordered the Central Mint at that time to try to cast the first set of gold standard.

The type of currency is planned to be one round, half round, two cents, one cent silver coins, two denominations of half cents and two cents, which are made of nickel, and one cent denomination is brass, thus forming a complete set of gold standard currency coin families.

The silver sample coin of the gold standard coin is designed as a portrait of Sun Yat-sen on the front, using the profile of Sun Yat-sen in the Italian version of the sailing silver coin in the 18th year of the Republic of China. The sun rises from the east on the right side of the boat, and three birds fly over Shuibowen.

There is one yuan (or semicircle, two cents, one cent) of the gold standard currency written on the coin, and the overall composition is very exquisite.The coinage mold was entrusted to Sinnok, the chief engraver of the Philadelphia Mint of the United States, to be engraved and cast at the Central Mint.

However, when the plan was implemented, because it was not suitable for our country's national conditions at that time, it encountered strong opposition from all walks of life, so it was stillborn and was not implemented.

The three silver coins in Chu Chen's hand were one yuan, half a circle and one penny, all of which were smooth-edged sample coins. The front and back of the three silver coins were made with deep patterns, the bottom of the plate was flat and bright, and the surface had a light light-colored paste , the coin face pattern, plate bottom and edge are well preserved, it is a rare product, extremely rare, and it has not been used nearly to completely.

Gold standard silver sample coins are exquisitely made and rare in existence, and have always been valued by coin collectors, especially the semi-circular silver coins among them. According to incomplete statistics, it is estimated that there are no more than seven pieces.Minus the collection of the museum, there are no more than five grades of folklore.

And one dime silver coin is also very rare, both of which are less than one yuan silver coin, so its preciousness can be seen.

Chu Chen conservatively estimated that the value of these three silver coins should be around 180 to 200 million, and if they were to be auctioned, the price would definitely be higher.

If the value of these three silver coins is between 50 million and [-], Chu Chen thinks that Liu Sizhe might give it a try, but these three silver coins are too precious. In addition to what happened yesterday and the quotation from the boss just now, Liu Sizhe doesn't believe it. They are justifiably authentic.

But no matter how excusable, Chu Chen felt that when Liu Sizhe learned the truth, he should also feel deeply annoyed.

At this time, the boss saw that Liu Sizhe didn't agree with his mouth, so he gave up his plan to sell. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and secretly thought, it seems that it is more difficult to sell these three silver coins at a good price. up.

But just after he finished thinking this way, he heard Chu Chen on the opposite side say: "Boss, your price of [-] for these three silver coins is too high. If the three silver coins are [-], I will buy them for fun!"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the other people present were slightly taken aback, Liu Sizhe and the three girls were wondering why Chu Chen would think of buying something that he (Liu Sizhe) didn't want, could it be himself (Liu Sizhe) I read it wrong?Thinking of Chu Chen's past performances, everyone felt that this possibility should be very high.

Thinking of this, Liu Sizhe couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. He was really a shadow of a snake. He could clearly see that these three silver coins were indeed exactly the same as the real ones, and in terms of feeling, it was obviously not the same as yesterday. In the end, under suspicion, He actually gave up a good treasure, which made him feel very aggrieved even thinking about it, and he wished he could yell a few times.

But unlike Liu Sizhe, at this time the boss felt a sense of happiness in his heart. Just now he thought that the young man in front of him was more difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he was also an idiot.Of course, for him, the more such foolishness, the better, otherwise how could he make money?

So he bargained with Chu Chen full of joy, and finally the two parties settled the deal at a price of 8000 yuan, and then Chu Chen and the others left with their things.

The boss didn't know that the foolishness in his eyes was making fun of him, so he shook the money in his hand contentedly, and then put it in his wallet.

At this moment, an old man in his 60s and [-]s rushed to the booth and asked anxiously, "Xiao Huang, are your three gold standard silver coins still there?"
