However, with the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, antique collections can be regarded as "flying into the homes of ordinary people". However, the popularity of antique collection has also led to a large number of fake antiques on the market. Collectors may be deceived if they are not careful, causing their own economic losses. Therefore, in order to popularize the knowledge of antique appraisal to the public, various treasure-hunting programs came into being.
In a treasure hunt program, a female college student brought her own collection of three knife coins, hoping that experts could help identify them. And told the experts that she likes ancient knife coins very much and often goes to the antique market to try her luck. These three knife coins were bought when she was wandering, which cost her a whole year's tuition. After hearing her story, the expert said, "You shouldn't buy it." Female college students are weak with fear. The expert didn't tell her the authenticity of the knife coin directly. She continued to listen carefully to the expert's explanation with a nervous mood. The expert told her that these three knife coins belong to the "Qi Fa" in the currency, that is, the legal tender of Qi State, and then the expert talked about the history of knife coins.
After the introduction of experts, we learned that knife coins were originally a currency circulating in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there were many kinds of knife coins. The three-knife coin brought by this female college student was only a currency in circulation in ancient Qi. In ancient times, money management was very strict. The shape, size and weight of knife coins are strictly regulated. In order to distinguish different knife coins, the ancients also carved characters on the knife coins, and the number of these characters also represented the value of the knife coins.
Finally, when the answer was announced, experts confirmed that the three knife coins brought by the female college student were indeed "homogeneous" and had high collection value. Hearing the answers given by experts, female college students finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it's not fake, otherwise her whole year's tuition will be wasted.
Although this female college student bought real knives and coins, antique collection is still full of risks, and ordinary college students had better not try it easily.
