WEBVTT

00:00:00.133 --> 00:00:02.333
hey, what can I do for you?

00:00:02.333 --> 00:00:04.333
sir, I wanna sell a family heirloom

00:00:04.366 --> 00:00:06.122
a family heirloom

00:00:06.122 --> 00:00:07.266
let me take a look

00:00:07.266 --> 00:00:10.222
my second grandfather left it for me

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.370
second grandfather

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.500
so it is a family heirloom.

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.826
this is rare

00:00:19.266 --> 00:00:20.948
Kuping One Liang (the monetary unit of China).

00:00:20.948 --> 00:00:22.326
the Ministry of Revenue

00:00:22.326 --> 00:00:24.066
to be honest

00:00:24.066 --> 00:00:27.399
this is the first edition

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:28.866
of Central Edition in the Qing Dynasty

00:00:29.566 --> 00:00:32.629
it's super expensive

00:00:32.629 --> 00:00:35.066
this is the test coin

00:00:35.066 --> 00:00:36.484
and it hasn't been used

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.966
your insight is pretty good

00:00:39.966 --> 00:00:40.999
let me tell you

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.216
my second grandfather made his fortune in Beijing when he's young

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.553
he made his fortune in Beijing

00:00:46.553 --> 00:00:49.099
when he was the richest,

00:00:49.099 --> 00:00:51.539
he had a quadrangle dwelling in Beijing

00:00:51.866 --> 00:00:53.799
he had a quadrangle dwelling in Beijing

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.133
he must be rich

00:00:56.166 --> 00:00:56.599
yeah

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:01.792
a quadrangle dwelling may be worth hundreds of millions of yuan

00:01:01.792 --> 00:01:03.133
you are right

00:01:03.133 --> 00:01:06.533
however, in the 80s

00:01:06.533 --> 00:01:11.926
he exchanged it for this silver coin with a Beijinger

00:01:11.926 --> 00:01:14.756
he exchanged it for this silver coin

00:01:14.756 --> 00:01:16.709
he doesn't have children

00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:18.366
I see

00:01:18.366 --> 00:01:19.999
he came back

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.700
and lived in my house for many years

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:25.433
finally he gave this family heirloom

00:01:25.433 --> 00:01:27.056
to you. - yeah

00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:28.360
Oh my gosh

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:31.133
bro

00:01:31.133 --> 00:01:32.999
I just said that it's valuable

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.366
do you know why?

00:01:34.366 --> 00:01:37.299
in the Qing Dynasty

00:01:37.466 --> 00:01:40.499
this silver coin from the Central Mint

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:42.385
is different from foreign silver coins

00:01:42.766 --> 00:01:44.589
Mexican silver coins

00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:46.566
French Indochina silver coins

00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:47.933
and British silver coins

00:01:47.933 --> 00:01:50.933
are 26.8 grams

00:01:51.333 --> 00:01:54.766
in the past, coins were used, too

00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.733
its weight unit is Liang

00:01:56.933 --> 00:02:00.259
for example, our silver ingots

00:02:00.333 --> 00:02:01.266
right?

00:02:01.266 --> 00:02:05.056
the coin minted in Central Mint

00:02:05.056 --> 00:02:05.999
weighs one Liang

00:02:06.133 --> 00:02:07.266
more than 30 grams

00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.748
it can't be used to trade with foreign silver coins

00:02:13.266 --> 00:02:15.299
this coin weighs one Liang

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.666
but a foreign silver coin is about 26 grams

00:02:17.666 --> 00:02:20.466
it's inappropriate to trade

00:02:20.533 --> 00:02:24.333
if for one or two foreign coins

00:02:24.333 --> 00:02:27.846
this is not an equivalent exchange

00:02:27.933 --> 00:02:29.199
so it hasn't been used

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:32.166
finally. Kuping 72-cents coin

00:02:32.166 --> 00:02:34.666
was minted

00:02:34.733 --> 00:02:36.366
it's over 26 grams

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.266
as heavy as foreign silver coins

00:02:39.266 --> 00:02:41.533
got it. it's rare

00:02:41.533 --> 00:02:42.683
yeah

00:02:42.933 --> 00:02:45.299
if it's genuine

00:02:45.466 --> 00:02:50.133
it's super valuable

00:02:50.133 --> 00:02:53.499
he exchanged a house for it in the 1980s

00:02:53.533 --> 00:02:55.166
in the 1980s

00:02:55.166 --> 00:02:57.579
40 years have passed

00:02:57.766 --> 00:02:58.666
bro

00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:03.099
just tell me how much you think it's worth

00:03:03.166 --> 00:03:04.859
At least 10 million

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.523
10 million

00:03:07.133 --> 00:03:10.276
your second grandpa'd better

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.893
keep that quadrangle dwelling

00:03:13.066 --> 00:03:15.266
which is more expensive than this silver coin

00:03:15.466 --> 00:03:18.313
It's too late now

00:03:18.346 --> 00:03:23.333
bro, let me tell you

00:03:23.333 --> 00:03:25.933
I don't know how much the quadrangle dwelling is worth

00:03:25.933 --> 00:03:29.966
the genuine coin is expensive

00:03:30.066 --> 00:03:34.249
but this coin is obviously fake

00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.366
don't joke with me

00:03:36.366 --> 00:03:38.099
I'm about to have a heart attack

00:03:38.099 --> 00:03:40.700
I am serious

00:03:40.700 --> 00:03:42.886
its toothing is obviously fake

00:03:43.666 --> 00:03:45.533
it hasn't changed at all

00:03:45.533 --> 00:03:48.053
this oxide layer

00:03:48.166 --> 00:03:50.931
is particularly fake

00:03:50.931 --> 00:03:52.436
all in all

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:54.333
in the antique market

00:03:54.333 --> 00:03:56.266
you can spent 10 to 20 yuan buying it

00:03:56.300 --> 00:03:57.533
It's impossible

00:03:57.533 --> 00:03:59.766
my second master didn't give me a fake coin

00:03:59.766 --> 00:04:01.866
this is my opinion

00:04:01.866 --> 00:04:05.083
maybe I haven't seen the elephant

00:04:05.166 --> 00:04:07.266
ask another expert to identify it

00:04:07.266 --> 00:04:10.099
you are right. your suggestion is very good.

00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:11.200
I like it

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:11.966
let me tell you

00:04:11.966 --> 00:04:14.166
I wanted to slap you when you said it's fake

00:04:14.166 --> 00:04:16.399
don't be angry

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:18.066
you will be happy

00:04:18.066 --> 00:04:19.399
if I tell you it's worth 100 million

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:21.831
yeah

00:04:22.533 --> 00:04:24.666
I just want to sell it for 10 million

00:04:24.666 --> 00:04:25.809
ok

00:04:25.866 --> 00:04:27.776
yeah
