Taking the stamp album from Belinda's hand, Jin Muchen began to examine it carefully. www.geiliwx.com

Sure enough, when Belinda said this, he really found the difference in this stamp.

In these stamps, the swan is upright, but the words Western Australia printed on the upper and lower borders of the swan and the words of the penny stamp are indeed printed upside down.

The words Western Australia were originally supposed to be on the top of the swan's head, but now they appear at the feet of the swan, and the words on the penny stamp appear on the swan's head, and the font is upside down.

This is the first time that Jin Muchen has discovered the flaws of this stamp. He felt that the stamp was a bit wrong before, but he was not an expert in this area.

Second, it was also because he was in a special environment like a ghost city at the time. Although his eyesight was really good, and the light was not enough to be a problem for him, he was not an expert on stamps after all.

Therefore, he did not see these subtle differences at the time, and he had seen so many identical stamps before, and he was mentally tired, so he did not have time to observe carefully.

It is precisely because of the combination of these multiple factors that he did not discover such a mistake the first time he got the stamp.

Fortunately, I met a stamp collector like Belinda here again. Otherwise, he might have really missed this swan stamp.

Originally, the blue swan stamp was not full of jewels. He originally planned to find someone to verify it after returning to the United States, and then he shot it.

If Belinda hadn't pointed out the differences between these stamps at this time, I'm afraid he would have given these upside-down swans to him like a madman.

"Wow, the swan is upside down, it's true, but it's not the swan that is wrongly printed. It's these words!"

He sighed, and Belinda nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it's not these swans that are misprinted, but these words."

"Then stamps like that. Shouldn't they be worth a lot?"

Jin Muchen put down the stamp in his hand with a little excitement, and asked Bei Lin Da.

Belinda also said before that such an inverted swan stamp has a good reputation in the circle of stamp collectors. And before his eight upside-down swan stamps, fifteen such upside-down swan stamps were discovered all over the world.

With such a small number, it should be very precious, right?

"Well, this, it's hard to say, it depends on the will of the fans. After all, this is a stamp issued by Australia, not a stamp issued by the United Kingdom or the United States, so although it is rare in the world, its value. Underestimate. Because this stamp has not been officially auctioned for about 30 years. The last time it appeared at auction was in 1983 at an auction in New York, when it sold for 30,000 Qi. The price of one thousand five hundred dollars. It has been more than 30 years now, and it is really impossible to say how much it will be worth.”

The data from Belinda's mouth made Jin Muchen realize that she is not only an expert in ancient coins, but also an expert in stamps.

No wonder the jewels on this stamp are so light. It turns out that the last time it was released was more than 30 years ago, so he is really worth a lot now.

Thirty years ago, it was worth more than thirty thousand. It is less than 40,000 US dollars, and now more than 30 years have passed. Taking into account inflation, the over-issue of currency around the world in recent years, and the increase in people's demand for collections, the current market price of this stamp. Turn it up a few times and it should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen's heart could not help but feel dark.

However, he still felt that this should not be the bottom line of this stamp album. After all, when he first discovered this stamp album, because of his casual glance, this stamp album pressed under the cardboard box emitted a strong black light.

And that dazzling black light doesn't quite match the faint blue light emitted from this inverted swan stamp.

There must be some mystery in this stamp album.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen looked at the stamp album in his hand, and began to shake it vigorously, and then began to rummage forward.

Belinda's eyes widened when she saw him doing this: "Hey, Jin, what are you doing? Although many of these stamps are not the most precious ones, they have a history of hundreds of years, so The stamps are very fragile, if you shake like this, be careful..."

"I don't know why, I always feel that there is something else in this stamp album..."

While speaking, a yellow light suddenly flashed, and it turned out to be a yellow kraft paper envelope that fell out of the interlayer of the stamp album.

Jin Muchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the envelope. The envelope was sandwiched between the two pages of the stamp album, and he could see it clearly.

I don’t know what year this stamp album was produced. The covers on both sides are hard cardboard shells, and the middle is the kind of paper. It seems that plastic was not born in the era when this stamp album was produced.

And those stamps are stuck on each page of paper. These papers are very hard and thick cardboard paper, and their properties are somewhat similar to the raw paper of postcard cards.

Because a lot of small notches were cut in the paper to hold and fix the stamps, there are many cardboards in the middle that are glued together in pairs, so that there is a hollow part in the middle.

It turned out that Jin Muchen understood that the person who made this stamp album was doing this to protect those stamps and prevent too many stamps from being stuck on a piece of paper, but he did not expect that these hollow parts actually have a mystery, and some more stamps can be hidden in the middle. precious things.

At this time, Belinda stopped talking when she looked at the yellow envelope that fell from the middle of the stamp album. Jin Muchen picked up the envelope. The envelope was made of yellow kraft paper.

However, the color is a little dark, and it is a long time ago, and this kraft paper envelope is very thin and brittle, no wonder the original owner of this stamp album kept it hidden.

In front of Belinda, he carefully opened the envelope, and then a piece of paper fell out of it.

He picked up the piece of paper, only to find out that it was actually a Bafanglian stamp with a blue underside, but the printing technique did not seem to be very good, because there were many stamp patterns, and the head had been printed through, as if Because too much ink is used.

Anyway, from the back of these stamps, you can see the Queen's portrait on the front of the stamp.

Most of the stamps, like the Australian stamps he had seen before, featured a bust of Queen Victoria on the front.

But the price is two pence, and in the middle of the stamp is a cross-shaped postmark. Because of the age, the date in the middle of this postmark seems to be a little unclear.

However, this postmark gave Jin Muchen a very strange feeling, as if it was a bit like the cross of the Nazis in later generations.

He stared blankly at the stamp, not knowing what to think, because the strong jewels that flashed on the stamp made him dazzled.

It turns out that the black light I saw from this stamp album was a stamp from this Bafanglian?

But why did he flash black light? Jin Muchen was puzzled.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it himself, isn't there an expert in stamp collecting sitting across from him?

He raised his head with a smile, and was about to hand Belinda the stamp in his hand, but at this time he was surprised by what he saw Belinda.

At this time, Belinda was covering her mouth, looking at the stamp in his hand, her eyes widened, and her face full of surprise!

What's wrong with her? In the past, her impression of Jin Muchen was quite elegant, except when she saw the box she took out for the first time, she had never been so rude as now.

"Hey! Belinda!"

He shouted softly, and Belinda dropped her hand for a while, her face flushed, and without waiting for Jin Muchen to respond, she grabbed the stamp in his hand.

"My God! What have I seen? Wow... Kim... you're the luckiest **** I've ever seen..."

Belinda glanced at the stamp in her hand, then raised her head to look at Jin Muchen, her eyes flushed, her face flushed with excitement, and she even uttered a swear word.

However, these swear words are not meant to be scolding, but to express admiration for Jin Muchen's luck, and it also means that her relationship with Jin Muchen is a step closer.

"Uh... well... I admit, my luck is a little better than others, but Belinda, can we put this aside for now and talk about this Bafanglian stamp in front of us. , can you tell me what this is?"

As for stamps~lightnovelpub.net~ Jin Muchen really doesn't know much, and the stamps issued by the British in the early years, as well as the stamps issued by their colonies, are mostly a virtue, and the bust of Queen Victoria is printed on it. picture.

It was really hard for him to figure out the difference between these stamps. The Bafanglian in front of him was obviously very valuable. He wanted to understand how this stamp was different from other stamps with a bust of Queen Victoria.

"Wow, this is the legendary blue penny. The blue penny is more precious than the black penny. You don't know that?"

Belinda glared at Jin Muchen, looked at him with anger, and said, Jin Muchen scratched his head, what kind of black pennies, blue pennies, I really don't know!

You say black penny, I've heard it, but blue penny? What the **** is this?

More precious than penny black? Wouldn't that be worth a lot of money?

If Belinda knew the thoughts in Jin Muchen's mind, she would probably spit at him right away. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
