If it is in accordance with the general traditional characters. The lower part of the word "会" is naturally the word "日".However, on the copper coin that Jia Sidao is holding now, there is no last stroke of the word "日", but the upper line of the inner outline of the coin.This made Jia Sidao very curious, but also full of doubts in his heart. Could it be that among the piles of ancient copper coins, only this one is fake? Jia Sidao first checked the word "hui" by himself, and then carefully checked among the many copper coins that had been turned over just now, and found that those ancient copper coins just now were at least real.Even if someone wanted to cheat, Jia Sidao didn't think that someone would be so boring as to start with worthless copper coins like "Xuanhe Tongbao" from the Northern Song Dynasty, right?

Any ancient copper coin with a little value, if it can be faked, is worth more than thousands of "Xuanhe Tongbao"! After searching again among the remaining pile of ancient copper coins, Jia Sidao did not find any other suspicious copper coins.Jia Sidao could only think in his heart that his eyesight on ancient coins was not good enough. At that moment, picking up the "Huitong Tongbao" in his hand, Jia Sidao went to the computer in the study. In this day and age, the quickest way to find the origin of a copper coin with a definite physical existence, especially a copper coin with clear engraving on it, is to search online.

Sure enough, it didn't take much time for Jia Sidao to figure out that the copper coin in his hand, if it was real, really had something to do with it. The so-called "Huitong" on the copper coins should be the year name of Yelu Deguang, the second emperor of the Liao Dynasty (938-947).In this way, "Huitong Tongbao" is the name of the coins minted during the Huitong period of the Liao Dynasty.Jia Sidao also found out that the specific size of this thing is 2.41 centimeters in diameter, the width of the perforation in the middle is 0.62 centimeters, the thickness of the edge is 0.145 centimeters, and the weight is about 4 grams.

In Jia Sidao's villa, it was easy to find some simple measuring tools to calculate the copper coins on hand.Jia Sidao didn't hesitate, the whole measurement process was very neat and neat. Afterwards, he compared the results and found that there was not much difference with the results on the Internet, which can be said to be quite consistent.However, regarding the coins of the Liao Kingdom, Jia Sidao still had some doubts in his heart. In Jia Sidao's memory, it seems that the main coins used in the early Liao Dynasty were Song coins, that is, coins from the Northern Song Dynasty.As for the casting of Liao coins, it is actually a political purpose and a symbolic casting of coins.Although the number of Liao coins is relatively rare, some will be minted in each year. In this way, in the history of Chinese currency, this coin may explain a period of history. Therefore, the value of Liao coins and other Editions of Treasures have the same meaning.It can be said that there are very few coins in the early Liao Dynasty, and every coin found is a valuable treasure.

In addition, "Huitong Tongbao" is a coin in the early Liao Dynasty, and it has only recorded one name on the ancient coin book. However, Jia Sidao has never heard of it being discovered. Of course, it may be Jia Sidao really hasn't been involved in the ancient coin business deeply enough, and he hasn't got a good understanding of the specific inside story of some rare and orphaned ancient coins!However, there are very few coins of "Huitong Tongbao" in the world, but Jia Sidao can still be sure. Will the "Huitong Tongbao" in front of you be genuine? Jia Sidao played with the copper coin in his hand back and forth, even put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then, pretending to be proficient in ancient coins, put the copper coin to his ear, and flicked it lightly with his hand , or just put it to your mouth and take a breath, and then listen to the sound!

Helplessly, a novice is still a novice after all, even if all the movements are in place, there is no reason for it. Jia Sidao can only slightly feel that the ancient coin in his hand has a little bit of the atmosphere of Liao coins. After all, coins minted in different ages will have different styles, and even the minted coins have different styles. The sense of touch will be different.Jia Sidao is not an insider, but he can tell a little bit about the characteristics of the copper coins that are handed out. It is more in line with the coins of the Liao Dynasty. It's just that after Jia Sidao carefully played with it for a long time, he discovered another detail of this coin.On the right side of the word "Tong" in "Huitong", there is a little bruise.Generally speaking, in ancient copper coins, with such details, it looks like they were re-engraved from some ordinary ancient coins.

Because re-engraving is one of the usual methods used by master counterfeiters of ancient coins. Generally, the words on an ordinary ancient coin of the same period are changed into other characters, so as to achieve the purpose of making rare ancient coins with fake ones.The best, of course, are the fonts on the two coins, the gap between the former and the latter is relatively small.Therefore, if the "Huitong Tongbao" in Jia Sidao's hand is now re-engraved, Jia Sidao pondered, the most likely is to use the "Chongxi Tongbao" in the relatively common coins of the middle Liao Dynasty to make the "Chongxi Tongbao" The probability of changing the word "xi" into "huitong" is relatively high.After all, the number of "Chongxi Tongbao" is much more than that of "Huitong Tongbao".

But the bigger reason, which makes Jia Sidao suspicious, is not only the two doubtful points on this "Huitong Tongbao", but also the "Huitong Tongbao" itself, which is really too rare. Even if there is a real "Huitong Tongbao" placed in front of Jia Sidao, Jia Sidao dare not directly confirm that this thing is real! Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jia Sidao could only take a photo of the front and back of the "Huitong Tongbao" copper coin in his hand, and posted it on the "Tianxia Collection" forum, waiting for answers from people of insight!Of course, Jia Sidao himself continued to search for relevant information on the Internet while waiting.

Sure enough, Jia Sidao really found a lot of information. It turned out that before "Huitong Tongbao" was discovered, no one had seen its true face. Until 1989, Mr. Feng Yi from Lingyuan, Liaoning Province, picked up one of the copper piles in Chaoyang Scrap Station.At that time, he himself didn't know whether it was true or not, and he couldn't get the real result after many inquiries, so he decided to seek advice from Mr. Dai Zhiqiang, the secretary-general of the Chinese Numismatic Society and a famous numismatist.Just holding the idea of ​​giving it a try, I wrote a letter to Mr. Dai, and attached the rubbings of the coin.After seeing the rubbings, Mr. Dai thought it was "very interesting", so he wrote back and asked him to bring the rubbings to Beijing for a look at his convenience.

In a blink of an eye, it was March 1990. Mr. Dai Zhiqiang finally saw the coin in Mr. Feng Yi's hand. After identification, he had the following comment: "Look at the back of the coin, it is full of Liao money, rusty color It’s also good; looking at its front, the writing is natural, which is consistent with the expression of the common Liao coins. The first feeling I see makes me unquestionable.” In the end, it was determined that it was a treasure of Liao Dynasty coins. In this way, the one in Jia Sidao's hand, even if it is a genuine "Huitong Tongbao", is not something that has never been seen before.There is a picture of Mr. Feng Yi's "Huitong Tongbao" on the Internet. Jia Sidao compared it with the one in his own hand. Perhaps it is because the photos taken are not very clear. I can't see clearly.On the contrary, on the picture, you can see the word "日" under the word "会", and there is indeed a very blurred place!

This made Jia Sidao feel a little joy in his heart. However, when looking at the word "same" again, Jia Sidao didn't find anything special.Based on Jia Sidao's thinking, if this copper coin of his was re-engraved by a master, he would have noticed the surprise on the word "hui".It was deliberately changed to a blurred state to deceive some people who are a little bit more knowledgeable!Only in this way can the price of copper coins be sold higher, right? At this moment, let Jia Sidao collect it from the whole pile of copper coins, I don't know if it is luck. And after going through a lot of uneasy mood changes, from doubt to joy, from loss to calm, and now to calmness, Jia Sidao suddenly had more feelings for the copper coin in his hand.Regardless of whether the thing is real or not, Jia Sidao is prepared to keep it, which can be regarded as his progress in the ancient coin industry. If something is fake, Jia Sidao can completely regard it as a kind of accumulation on his way of collecting; if it is real, let alone.Even if there are a few "Huitong Tongbao" on the market, it still does not damage the value of its treasures! Generally, some collectors of antiques love the things they have at hand. This is how we know it, right?Jia Sidao pondered, if he found this "Huitong Tongbao" before the Antique Appraisal Conference, he would definitely agree with the mood of the collectors in the square who came to invite experts to appraise it. However, since those collectors can invite experts to make appraisals, why can't he, Jia Sidao? Thinking of this, Jia Sidao's eyes lit up immediately! It's just that Jia Sidao also knows that among the people he knows, there are very few people who can understand ancient coins.Looking at the time, it was already quite late, so he held back and immediately called Ah San, or Ji Yanran's impulsiveness, Jia Sidao could only continue to search for relevant information on the Internet. At this time, I suddenly found that someone replied to the post I posted!
