Chapter 489: The Story of the Hou Family

The most common silver dollar in that pile was the "Yuan Datou" (Yuan Shikai dollar), and there weren't many early ones; most were late-period. Of course, even the late-period Yuan Datou had significant room for appreciation. At this time, these Yuan Datou were only worth a few dozen to a hundred yuan each, but over a dozen years later, even the cheapest Yuan Datou would be two or three thousand each.

However, Su Xinghui naturally wanted to maximize his profits. If he could pick out those with the greatest room for appreciation, he wouldn't want the ordinary ones. He picked out a few Yuan Datou silver dollars from the third year of the Republic of China. The price of silver dollars from this year would be at least over ten thousand yuan in the future, which was considered a relatively large range of appreciation.

Next, Su Xinghui looked at the pile of copper coins. In this pile of copper coins, Su Xinghui discovered some good things, such as Kangxi Tongbao and Qianlong Tongbao. These would later be worth over ten thousand yuan each, especially the Qianlong Tongbao; Su Xinghui vaguely remembered that they were worth tens of thousands each later on, and here, Su Xinghui found as many as five.

Su Xinghui continued to flip through them, and suddenly, he saw a Xianfeng Zhongbao copper coin. He couldn't help but get a little excited. Many copper coins from the Xianfeng period were very precious, and their later prices were basically over one million. This kind of copper coin was naturally very rare. He didn't expect to see it here.

Su Xinghui picked up the copper coin. The quality of this copper coin was very good, the handwriting was clear, and the shape was round and complete. He looked at the back again. The back had the two characters "Da Qing" written above the square hole, and the two characters "Yibai" written below, with a Manchu character on each side of the square hole.

This copper coin should be a Xianfeng Zhongbao one-hundred copper coin, but the key was in those two Manchu characters. There were several different versions of this kind of copper coin. Of course, no matter which version it was, it was worth a lot of money. Therefore, Su Xinghui suppressed the excitement in his heart and picked out this copper coin as well.

In the end, Su Xinghui picked out thirty-one copper coins and silver dollars. He didn't pick any commemorative coins. Although the room for appreciation of commemorative coins was also good, it was far worse than the copper coins and silver dollars he picked. ===== CHAPTER 491 =====
