The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Zhang Nan took this little almost white coin, took a look and said: "You are lucky. This is a 5 cent nickel coin that is now relatively rare.

It's been almost a century, and it's rare to find such a good appearance in the ground. "

In your free time, it’s good to read more books about American cultural collections, at least you won’t be blindfolded-you don’t need money, you’re right to have more fun.

The nickel coin was washed a little with the mineral water that Randy handed over. Except for the marks left by the erosion of the light soil on the surface, the whole nickel coin looked like a new one.

What is commendable is that this 5 cents was probably lost by the owner shortly after circulation. The Miao Cotton has almost no traces of use, and the wear is almost invisible. If it is rated, it should be able to get a not low score.

Although it is good for coins to have the original light, old coins nearly a century ago, if they are handed down, the original light is too little. It is common that the daily wear and tear will make the coin quality messy.

"How much is this worth?"

Xiao Nizi had a curious expression, because Zhang Nan used the term "rare", thinking that it should be worth more than 1 cent of the wheat just now.

"The normal shape can exceed one hundred dollars. This one is in good condition. Two or three hundred dollars should be no problem."

"Yeah!"

Charlize Theron clenched his fists with both hands and moved up, and the whole person jumped!

Zhang Nan smiled and looked at the little girl's excited expression, and waited until she was gone crazy and said: "This is still the most common variety in the V-shaped cents. In 1898, the output was relatively large.

If it was the original V coin of the first version in 1883, it would cost thousands of dollars. "

"Small circulation?"

Little Charlie is easy to learn.

Zhang Nan pointed to the back of the coin and said, "The words CENTS here were added later. These words are not on the first batch of V coins produced in 1883."

What is the difference between adding and not adding?

At this time Linman interrupted and said: "I really want to remember that there was a legend that was caused by a deaf-mute man's scam, so the logo was added on the back of the V coin produced later."

The usual coins, even the Americans themselves, as long as they are not playing coins, will not understand the stories that happened in them, let alone the stories from 100 years ago.

Zhang Nan nodded towards Linman and said, "In China, a dime note with a green backside is still in use because it is very similar in color to a dime note. It is easy to confuse in the transaction process. It was recycled after only 14 months of use. , The value is very high. Later, the color of the back of the banknote was changed deliberately and reprinted again.

Coins that are easy to be confused with face value are generally recycled, but the original version of this 5-cent V coin was modified because the diameter and pattern were too close to the $5 gold coin."

In 1881, the director of the U.S. Mint Bureau, Snowden, ordered the chief engraver of the Mint, Charles Barber, to design unified nickel coins, including two-cent and three-cent coins, and the newly proposed copper-nickel alloy cent.

Snowden asked Barber to use the classicist head of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse of the coin, and the Roman numerals representing the denomination on the reverse, surrounded by wheat, cotton, and corn.

Only the 5-cent coin was finally approved for production, and it was put into production in 1883: the front: the classic free caryatids with 13 stars and year signs around the head, the back is surrounded by a wreath of "V", and there are inscriptions and EPLURIBUSUNUM.

The weight is kept at 5 grams and the diameter is 22 mm.

"But the trouble is coming. The scammers quickly discovered that the diameter of the new nickel coin is very close to the $5 gold coin, and the front pattern is very similar. As long as the new nickel coin is plated with gold, it may be mistaken for people to think that it is a $5 gold coin.

The scammers acted quickly and added zigzag lace to some of the gold-plated nickel coins to make them look more like gold coins. As a result, they deceived many people.

Just now Linman was right. The most classic story of this kind of scam is that a man named Tatum used this coin to swindle many times.

Thanks to the perfect laws of the United States of America, his fraud is not illegal! "

Charlize Theron looked unbelievable and said: "Impossible! If nickel coins are used as gold coins in the United States, deaf and dumb people will be punished by law just like normal healthy people."

The little girl is very righteous, but also very naive.

"It depends on how to use it.

Charlie, the law is a net, rushing into it recklessly to ensure that it is locked up, if you make a roundabout, or break into multiple strands after working around, you will be safe. "

Charlize Theron was thoughtful after listening, and the man next to him was also smiling while watching the boss teach the little girl, but he didn't indicate that he was teaching the child bad.

Tatum's deception method is actually very simple, but it is beyond the scope of legal sanctions.

After entering the store, he selected an item with a price of no more than 5 cents, paid the clerk a processed nickel coin, and then honestly waited to find the money.

Many shop assistants were fooled and gave him 4 dollars and 95 cents. After the incident, the shop was unable to pursue Tatum through the law. The cost of finding gangsters was too high. If they came to the door and spoke with their fists, the police would help. That Tatum ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because Tatum is deaf and mute, he did pay for the items he bought, and in the legal sense, the money the clerk asked him was equivalent to a gift. "

Charlize Theron is speechless. He knows that the Western-style law seems to stipulate that: 5 cents or 5 cents that are plated with gold is not a fake currency fraud!

You still can’t say that he deliberately processed the coins and then cheated. Even if Tatum could sign language and write, he told the police that the money was picked up on the road, and there is nothing you can do with it!

China’s article 270 stipulates that ten years later: if it illegally seizes the property of others in its custody, the amount is relatively large and refuses to be returned, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or fine;

If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than two years but not more than five years and shall be fined.

Those who illegally occupy other people’s forgotten or buried objects as one’s own in a relatively large amount and refuse to hand it over shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph-this crime shall be dealt with only if the person is told.

But in the United States a hundred years ago, the unowned property that he saw was of course his own. If others didn't sue, it was his own.

This is the law of the Americans at the time. You can only admit that you are unlucky and can't blame others!
