Some of my coins are studied in detail, and some are shallow, after all, my energy is limited, and this is the case with the contact with Kangxi Man Hanfu. Kangxi Tongbao memorized Chinese because it is easy to recognize, very popular with players, a poem can be summarized: Tongfu Lindongjiang, Xuanyuan Su Jichang, Nanhening Guangzhe, Taigui Shaanxi Yunzhang.
If you don't pay attention to money style and edition, it is not difficult to collect these twenty innings, but if you want to collect the original sample and other fine products, it is more difficult. I have little interest in collecting the full set of Man han, but I still like the Fu Bureau, Fu Linmen, on the one hand, the meaning is good, on the other hand, it is because of a previous experience.
A few years ago, I went to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, to visit relatives, jokingly asked friends on the Internet if there was a place for Taobao, and he said: "Come to Suzhou to play, there are many good coins here, last time I spent more than 100 to find a Kangxi Manhan Dafu Bao next month version, sold more than a thousand yuan." ”
Because the time was tight, he still didn't go, but he took his words to heart.
After returning to Hefei, I ran to the City God Temple Antique Market and walked around, the place has decayed into shape, and spent 260 yuan to buy a man Han fu. Although it is genuine, but check the information only to find that it is an ordinary xiaofu, the quality is still rotten, it was slaughtered, and then I don't know where to lose it...
But I was not convinced, and viciously studied the knowledge, only to know that the Baofu Bureau is divided into three types: Small Fu, Medium Fu and Big Fu, and Da Fu is the most expensive. It is very recognizable, Xiaofu is the back of the Manchu Fu character extends out of the wear Guo, Zhongfu is flush, and Dafu is beyond, at a glance to see.
Then I learned a lot of editions, like Xiaofu's single-point pass, double-point pass, flat foot, folded foot and the like, but I was still particularly interested in the next month's version of my friend's Dafubao, what did the leak he picked up look like?

When a friend sent the picture over, I wondered, isn't this a money defect? It turned out to be a version. The so-called "treasure next month" is the crescent shape point under the front treasure word, the yin carving is the "yin version", and the yang carving is the "yang version".
At that time, I first learned that this was the "furnace mark" on the Kangxi money, a kind of mark carved by the master craftsman to distinguish the furnace and shift, and now it has become a version that enhances the value.
Man Hanfu has a variety of versions such as big moon, small moon, yin star, vertical bar, etc., as well as various hand money, which is very interesting.
Folk art: Fa Lu
Man Han Fu also owned the most popular bales in Qing Qian: Fang Liang and Fa Lu. The so-called house beam money mainly comes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after the completion of the new house, the copper money is wrapped in red cloth or red paper and placed on the beam to pray for the safety of the family home. Over time, red cloth and coins have been firmly combined to form a variety of brilliant colors.
Fa Lu is also a unique folk art in China, weaving copper coins into tiger heads, butterflies, bats, peaches, flower baskets and other shapes, hanging in the middle of the beam or on the new bed, implying the health of the family, the love of husband and wife, long life and 100 years old.
Fa Lu wrapped pulp is mostly yellow and bright, which is dull, while the beams have a heavier taste and more residues. However, Fa Lu money will occasionally appear to be the best account hook rust, the whole body is full of green, etc., which is much more expensive in the era of appearance.
Having said so much before, do you think that I learned a lot of knowledge from Man HanFu, and then I found the best in a big way? Wrong, today I am going to talk about the lesson.
Because most of the other kinds of antiques were played in the past, it is said that learning coins is actually just a point to the end. Later, I couldn't help but go to Suzhou to play, and my friends rushed all the way to Changshu to participate in a small exchange meeting, when there was an antique shop owner surnamed Qi, who was also a master of clearing money, and took out a bunch of five emperor money plates for everyone to enjoy.
"Man Bao Han Fu" folded two to try to cast a large sample of money
Among them, there is a kind of Kangxi Tongbao "Manbao Hanfu" fold two trial minting large sample money, the back of the Manchu "Bao" character and Han Wenfu bureau name, diameter 30mm, he said that this coin is particularly rare, is a trial minted sample money, a small amount of flow to the people. Weng Tong's former residence is in the Changshu Antique Market, where thousands of high-quality Man Hanfu were once produced, and the boss spent a long time collecting 8 such tricast coins.
At that time, he only sold 7800 yuan for one piece, and my friend recommended me to buy one, but I really didn't want to spend so much money to buy it. I took a fancy to a pair of Kangxi Min kiln blue and white porcelain small pots in another shop, and considered spending 9,000 yuan to buy it for a long time, but gave up the coins.
Why is this article being written today? It is because I saw that Huaxia Special Auction auctioned a "Man Bao Han Fu" folded two to try to cast a large sample of money every month, and I regretted it.
This trial coin I checked the information, in 2013 Shanghai Chongyuan autumn auction, auctioned the price of 7410 yuan, and then in last month's Huaxia special auction auction auctioned a high price of 84750 yuan, eight years, up more than 11 times!
If I had bought one a few years ago, I would have made almost 8 to 10 times more now. The pair of Kangxi blue and white porcelain I bought, which was later sold out of 12,000 yuan, has now risen to more than 30,000. So, one of my choices, missed two opportunities!
One did not see the potential to try to cast money, and the second did not sink the gas to keep the fine products of the folk kiln. After experiencing the lessons, I learned that sometimes choice is really more important than hard work.
