It turns out that there is such a good thing, and Jin Muchen felt that it was an eye-opener when he heard it. The Australian government's feelings are quite authentic. Baidu search to force literature network [novel update please search]

Speaking of this, it is similar to the US government's designation of the Indians' private land. Of course, although the Australian government has given some benefits to the indigenous people, it is obviously not as generous as the Americans.

"By the way, this Mr. Jin is an antique dealer from the United States. Uncle, don't you have a box of treasures? Are you interested in making a move? This Mr. Jin is a good person. If he approves of your stuff, then surely I won't lose you."

This Maureen seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to his uncle Morris who was sitting next to him.

When Morris heard this, he slapped his thigh as if he had remembered something, and then said to Jin Muchen.

"Mr. Jin, I have a box of silver coins, which should be considered antiques. Are you interested?"

These two gentlemen are also direct enough. If it wasn't for having been in contact with them for such a long time, one could feel that these two gentlemen were kind people, and Jin Muchen would definitely think that these two were acting as double reeds in front of him.

"Okay, what do you have, take a look at it, and if it is suitable, I will definitely give you a fair price."

Jin Muchen smiled and said to Morris, Morris didn't talk nonsense at all, stood up directly, and said to Mo Lin and the others: "Mo Lin will give you your car keys, you and Mr. Jin will wait for me here for a while, I'll go home as soon as possible. trip."

Maureen threw away his car keys, and then Morris turned around and left, ignoring his own snack cart. This guy is really hot.

"You never said that there are so many antique silver coins in your uncle's house? Tell me, what's going on?"

Jin Muchen asked Mo Lin with a smile, Mo Lin shook his head.

"Hehe, I also suddenly remembered after chatting with him. You can also see that he is very short of money recently, so I remembered that thing. Those things have quite a history. I was also a child. I saw it once, and never saw it again, but when I was a kid, when Uncle Morris was telling me stories, he would often take out those silver coins for me to play with. But how much are those silver coins worth? You can't judge. After all, we're not in this business, and then you'll have to look at your own eyesight and your own judgment."

This Maureen is an honest person, and he doesn't lie when he speaks. Not to exaggerate, Jin Muchen became more and more satisfied with this kid.

"Okay, before Morris comes back, tell me how the silver coins came from?"

Before this Mo Lin talked about the tone of these silver coins, Jin Muchen felt that there must be a story in it, and he was particularly curious about the story behind this antique.

"Well, well, how do you say it? The last time I saw those silver coins was when I was ten years old, I remember. It was a silver box, beautifully decorated, and filled with bright lights. I was very curious about those silver coins. Later, Uncle Morris told me stories about these silver coins. In fact, if you look at my uncle's age, you should know that he himself belonged to the stolen generation. He was only a few months old when those cops forcibly took him from his grandparents. Then he was adopted by a wealthy white family, but don't look at the gang who adopted him. But not out of What kind of good intentions, they only care about their reputation, and the government sends them a check, I can't understand. They are already so rich, but still..."

Maureen said this and shook his head with a wry smile, as if he was glad that he didn't catch up with that era.

Jin Muchen also nodded to show his understanding, the world will never lack those rich guys, and even some rich people are richer. The more money, the more stingy. . .

"Although that family adopted Uncle Morris, it was actually not good to him. His status in that family was actually similar to that of a slave in the past. He slept in the worst room, ate the worst food, and paid I want to be a cow and a horse. When I was in school, I was also a horse for the children of that family. When he was young, he didn’t quite understand it, but when he was old and sensible, he also understood what was going on. So he thought about leaving the house early, and then when he was sixteen years old, he sneaked out of the house, but when he escaped, he also took some things with him, including Including the box of silver coins, according to Uncle Morris, this should be regarded as 'compensation' from the family to him."

When Mo Lin said this, Jin Muchen also understood that the silver coins they were talking about should also belong to the category of thieves.

"Later, Uncle Morris found his grandfather, and then he and his grandfather and grandmother set out to find my father. During that time, their footprints were all over Australia, and it took eight years to find my father. But my father was luckier than Uncle Morris, he went to a good family and married a white girl..."

Mo Lin talked about the past indifferently, but Jin Muchen was no longer interested in the latter. What he was interested in now was the box of silver coins in Mo Lin's mouth.

During this trip to Australia, I haven't found anything very good so far. I hope that the box of silver coins that Maureen mentioned can bring some surprises to myself.

About half an hour later, Morris came back quickly. When he came back, he had a backpack on his body. When he came to Jin Muchen and the others, he took out a box and pushed it in front of Jin Muchen.

"That's it, take a good look at it."

Jin Muchen took the box in front of him and did not rush to open it. The box is very delicate, the outside is made of sterling silver, and a lot of complicated filigree and carving techniques were used. Look at the techniques used on the box. This should be a typical British style jewelry box.

There are many roses carved on the four sides of the box, 18 centimeters high and 30 centimeters long. The top is a typical dome-shaped design. The only pity is that there are no red and green gemstones on the box, only those sterling silver carvings. and patterns.

However, on the body of the box, there are more than a dozen coin shapes inlaid on them. These coins look very strange. They are round, but there is a circular hollow in the middle. The copper coins issued by each generation are quite similar.

However, Chinese copper coins are all round square holes, and this one has a round round hole.

There are also some small words engraved on the body of these silver coins, but Jin Muchen didn't take a close look.

Because the box itself is already flashing with jewels, which means that the box must have a lot of background. As for these silver coins, he is not sure whether it is the decoration specially carved when the box was designed, or the silver coins that were originally issued.

He also has some research on the history of currency development in Europe and the United States. He has never heard of such a silver coin with holes issued by the United Kingdom.

After all, when the British issued silver coins, Australia was still their colony and used the same currency system as them, so he was not sure that the silver coins really existed in history.

But now is not the time to care about these things, after all, the silver coins in the box are the key.

He opened the box, and various white and dazzling colors flashed inside, but in terms of brightness, it was much worse than the box containing these silver coins.

Jin Muchen probably already knew it. Compared with the silver coins in this box, this box should only be the highlight. It's a pity that these two uncles and nephews, Maurice and Mo Lin, have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and they also treat the silver coins in this box as baby.

It seems that what they are going to do this time is the business of buying caskets and pearls again, but Jin Muchen won't point it out. He is an antique dealer, not a saint. That's how business is done. If you don't know the goods yourself, don't blame others for their eyesight. fine.

However, although the jewels emitted by the silver coins in this box are much weaker than the box outside, when Jin Muchen reached in and carefully opened the silver coins, when he saw the coins clearly, he couldn't help but gasped. A breath of fresh air.

It seems that the original owner of this box is either a Grandet or a guy who likes to collect these coins very much, because he has a very comprehensive variety of coins in a box full of coins, and even many coins are very precious. kind.

For example, Jin Muchen saw the few gold pounds with one pound denomination issued by the United Kingdom in 1900. This was the strongest hard currency of that year, and its status was equivalent to the current dollar.

Of course, it does not mean that it is particularly precious, but that it has a particularly high status in the history of gold coins and has a particularly wide circulation.

The circulation of this kind of gold pound was not small at the beginning, and of course only the wealthy could afford it, and because of the international trade at that time, the circulation of this kind of gold pound was also very extensive~lightnovelpub.net~ before and after In total, millions of pieces were made.

On the front is the head of Queen Victoria, on the back is an ancient Roman knight, holding a short sword, charging on a prancing horse, and under the horse's hoof is a dying dragon.

The workmanship of the gold coins is very beautiful and the maintenance is also very good. It has a history of more than 100 years, but these gold coins still look golden.

Now this kind of gold pound is a very popular variety in the collection world. It is still popular with collectors despite the large number of them in the world. After all, this thing has a very special historical significance.

The value of each such gold coin on the market today is probably between $500 and $800, depending on the quality and age of the gold coin.

But these few gold pounds are not the most precious in this box of gold and silver coins. The few German gold marks that I saw next made Jin Muchen stunned.

This was one of the few circulating currencies that claimed to be able to compete with gold and sterling! This time, it looks like I found a treasure! (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
