Chapter 113 Are there wrong coins?
Although they don't know much about antiques and can't look at them, they have at least heard that some antique watches are very valuable and have been auctioned for millions of dollars.

In fact, the most expensive Rolex sold for more than 11 million U.S. dollars, setting a world record for watch auctions at the time. It was a Rolex watch called Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona.

Eighty or ninety million RMB, it makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

The original logo of Rolex was a hand with five fingers outstretched, implying that its products were completely handmade, which later evolved into the crown that people are familiar with today, showing the imperial spirit of Rolex in the watchmaking industry. Rolex has a very high investment and collection value.

Its features include fully automatic, single calendar, dual calendar, waterproof, dustproof, etc., and its workmanship is constantly improving, especially the dial, crown, strap, and carved crown are the symbols of its high quality. Because famous brand watches use advanced equipment and high-quality materials in manufacturing, they have achieved fine processing and high finish. Genuine Rolex watches are very fine in workmanship and text, and have a perfect feel.

In the international market, the price of an ordinary Rolex watch ranges from US$1000 to US$15000. Although the price is high, people still think it is worth the money. This is not only because of the excellent quality of Rolex, but also because it has unique investment value.

Of course, the one in front of you is not that precious, but it is not simple either.

It is James Bond’s 1972 Rolex Submariner, a watch that Sir Roger Moore actually wore when he played the famous James Bond in the film Live and Let Die.

It was said to have sold for $2015 at a Geneva auction in 365, even though the watch no longer even tells the time. It is an original design modified specifically for the film and signed on the back by Roger Moore.

The watch’s bezel was reimagined as the circular saw that James Bond used to cut the rope in the film, while the watch’s “magnetic field” was used to unzip Miss Caruso’s beautiful dress.

It is undoubtedly one of the most popular watches in the world because of the history and fame that comes with the James Bond franchise.

Well! Since Henry and the others said so, Lin Yuan did not announce the value of this watch.

He has always believed in making a fortune in silence.

The reason for live broadcast is nothing more than to develop the cheat code.

Otherwise, who would be willing to disclose how much money they earn? Wouldn't that make people want to know about it?

Lin Yuan spread out the coins, picked out four from them, and said to David and the others, "Each of you take one of these coins!"

Henry and the others looked at each other, and without further ado, each took one.

"Brother Lin, what does this coin say?" Henry flipped over the coin. It was a one-dollar coin. He remembered that he had used it when he was a child!
Are coins like this still valuable?
"I think I have one at home too." David couldn't help but say.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's different. You might as well take a closer look. This coin is a wrong coin. You can compare it with the ones you used before to see what's missing."

It is said that after this batch of wrong coins were minted, they were quickly discovered, recovered and destroyed, so very few of them are circulating on the market.

Things are rare and valuable!

Naturally, it is valuable.

"Wrong currency? Aren't they only found in paper currency?" My uncle was stunned.

He had heard of the collection of error coins.

After multiple rounds of inspections by the printing unit, these error coins were accidentally circulated into the market. The number of these error coins is extremely rare, and the main problems include inverted text, inverted patterns, left and right patterns, etc. Due to their rarity, they have a high collection value in the collection field.

In order to increase the number of error coins and increase business, some collection companies spared no expense to search for error coins in various places. Therefore, the price of error coins rose sharply. For collectors, error coin collection is indeed very attractive. On the one hand, it is unique. It is not easy to find a unique banknote of the same denomination among tens of millions of banknotes, which is tantamount to winning a million-dollar lottery.

The novelty itself makes banknote collectors delighted, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to collect them, which directly increases the price of error coins in the market.

On the other hand, it is rare. Perhaps many people will laugh at the stupidity of exchanging one million for one hundred dollars, but in the collection market, "old and rare" has always been the standard for judging the value of a collection.

"Not necessarily! Coins, like banknotes, can also have errors, but you can't say it's fake. Then, it's an error coin." Lin Yuan said to his uncle.

It's not just coins. Error coins have existed since ancient times.

For example, the copper coin of the Qing Dynasty, which was made by the Ministry of Revenue in the Xuantong period, was a misprint of the twenty-wen coin.

"Da Qing Copper Coin" is cast in the bead circle on the front of the coin, with "Chuan" in the center. It can be seen that this coin is the currency designated by the Ministry of Revenue to be issued to SC Province for circulation.

Manchu is engraved on the upper end outside the bead circle, with "Bingwu" next to the Manchu, and the word "Ministry of Households" cast on the left and right sides. The bottom is engraved with "Twenty Coins for Making Money". The font is dignified and beautiful, with horizontal and vertical lines, and the strokes are vigorous and powerful, which is of great calligraphy value.

On the back of the coin, there is a pattern of coiled dragons and auspicious clouds inside the bead circle, and "Made in the Xuantong Period" is written on the upper ring outside the bead circle, and the rest is in English.

Under normal circumstances, the year number of the Qing copper coin made in the Xuantong period should be "Jiyou", but the year number on the front of this copper coin is "Bingwu", which is inconsistent, so it is a wrong version of the coin.

The appearance of misprinted coins is caused by momentary negligence when making coins. This situation is very rare, so the number of misprinted coins is very small. After more than a hundred years of history, it has been preserved intact to this day, which is extremely rare. It is a rare existence and its value is invaluable.

All right! When the uncle heard this, he stopped talking.

Paul asked questions that everyone was concerned about.

"Lin, how much is this coin worth?"

Before Lin Yuan opened his mouth, Henry found the market value of this error coin on his mobile phone.

"Almost twenty thousand dollars. Look, it's really the wrong coin." Henry took out his mobile phone and showed everyone the information on it.

David and his friends then discovered that this coin had two fewer letters than normal.

Seeing this, they carefully wiped the dust off the surface of the coin and kept it away.

Uncle: "Which of them are all wrong coins?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, picked out a special one, and said, "This one is more precious. The others are just ordinary stuff, normal coins, not worth much."

The uncle took the coin and looked at it: "I have never seen it before."

Henry and others also came over, took a look, and shook their heads: "No, I haven't seen it. It's very early, right? One cent."

What can you buy with one cent now? You can no longer buy anything! In recent years, prices have skyrocketed, and many people are complaining.
