Which copper coin is the most valuable in China? Today, Bian Xiao will show you what kind of copper coins are most valuable. Let's talk to interested friends.

The estimated price was $50,000-75,000, the transaction price was $504,000, and the transaction time was 20 18-04-02 6544. In the afternoon of the third day, Jiangpu "Huai" households cleared 20 copper coins. Very rare, there are only two in the world, one in Shanghai Museum and the other in this auction. At that time, the Qingjiangpu Mint was originally ordered to cast dozens of coins, so it needed extra machines. When I was ready, I began to try casting, only to find that the pressure of the machine could only be cast. The machine was taken apart and sent to Nanjing Mint. This lot is covered with a deep and touching chocolate cream patina, and the original copper light permeates the pictures and texts, revealing blue and purple under the sunlight. For collectors of China copper coins, it is absolutely not to be missed!

What is the most valuable copper coin?

1, ten precious silver coins

According to Bian Xiao, the market value of this coin is very high, and its economic value and collection value are far higher than other copper coins. For example, 20 13 has a piece of Fengtian Guangxu Yuanbao wool, which is a first-class product with a market price of more than 2 million yuan. During the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen's suit was like the first-class product of Jiahe, about 700,000 yuan. These are precious coins, belonging to one of the top ten silver coins. At present, the market price of the top ten silver coins has risen a lot, many of which have exceeded one million, which is one of the reasons why many people say that holding old copper coins in their hands is like holding a house in their hands. After all, things are scarce, and the top ten treasures of silver coins are few in number, naturally scarce, with high market price and great investment value.

It is understood that in 20 13, the price of seven cents and two cents in Guangxu, Xinjiang was around 500,000, and the price of ingots in Guangxu, Sichuan was around 400,000. By 20 14, the price of ten small silver coins has also increased a lot.

The market price of spending money is uncertain, some are high, some are average. According to Bian Xiao's understanding, the value of spending money at present is several thousand yuan. For example, if Wan Li and Bao Tong spend money, the market price is between 8000 yuan and 10000 yuan.

In this regard, Bian Xiao reminded everyone that when collecting copper coins, we must pay attention to their appearance. The better the appearance, the higher the market price, and the poor appearance will not be sold. In addition, we should also pay attention to the quantity of the world. Like Song Qian's lottery, the world's quantity is stored in sacks, and tons are not collected.
