On the Collection and Identification of Silver Coins

It is understood that most of the common silver dollars on the market at present are "Yuan Datou" and "Qing Yang Long" with large circulation at that time. The pattern is mainly panlong, and the figures are Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen in the Republic of China. Some foreign silver dollars such as "Mexican Eagle Ocean" and "Japanese Yang Long" are also common. The price of silver dollars ranges from 120 yuan to 300 yuan. There are also extremely high prices, such as the Guangxu ingot "Shuanglong Shouzi" silver dollar made in Guangdong Province. Due to the small retention, the current price is about 400,000 yuan per piece; The silver dollar of "Daqing Silver Coin" made in Hubei Province is 1300 yuan for large print edition, but nearly 10,000 yuan for small print edition. In the early Qing Dynasty, the practice of casting ingot-shaped silver nuggets in the late Ming Dynasty was still used in all parts of China, which was calculated by two and weighed for use. Before and after the Opium War, the sea ban was wide open, and foreign silver dollars were imported into China. There were dozens of silver dollars in circulation at that time. Because foreign banks calculate the nuclear value, the standard is unified, and there is no need to weigh it when using it, so the people are happy to accept it. In this case, in order to safeguard national dignity and maintain the monetary system, the Qing government was forced to start planning and casting its own silver dollar. During this period, the western machine industry flourished and coins made by machines were very popular. Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, bought a British machine to cast a silver dollar called Guangxu Yuanbao, which was the beginning of China's official use of machines to cast silver dollars. A few years later, Zhang Zhidong was transferred to the governor of Huguang, and he also cast a silver dollar made in Hubei, which was later copied by various provinces. Since then, in order to maintain the monetary system, the Qing government set up a general factory for minting silver coins in Tianjin, and ordered to take back the right to mint coins in other places except Guangzhou and Shanghai Bureau and Nanyang, Zhili and Jilin. This is also one of the reasons why the prices of Guangxu Yuanbao and Daqing silver coins supervised by Zhang Zhidong at that time are currently strong.

You can't tell whether it's a real silver dollar just by listening to the sound. In the past, in film and television dramas, two fingers held the center of the silver dollar up and down, blew it with their mouths, and then put it on their ears. The method of judging whether it is true or not at will is not accurate. According to experience, ordinary metal sheets can blow out sound as long as they are fixed in place.

In the identification of true and false silver dollars, besides the sound, we should also comprehensively examine the fineness, weight and color of silver and the seals of some old banks.

Look at the color. The fineness of real silver dollar generally contains about 90% silver, and the silver dollar with this silver content is white and soft. After rust removal, it has a strong luster, but the silver dollar or fake silver dollar with low color is dim and has a color cast, such as the silver dollar doped with copper is red or yellow, and the silver dollar containing lead and zinc is gray-black.

Listen to the rhyme. The old silver dollar pressed its center point with his finger, and the sound made after hitting was pure, soft and soft, and he felt very calm, like a tenor. And some new fake silver dollars, even if they are all silver, will emit high notes like sopranos. Some fake silver coins with high copper and zinc content have crisp and loud sounds or dull sound quality. However, it should be noted that for some reason, some real silver dollars that have been burned or affected by geographical environment such as salinity will also appear dumb or dumb. This needs to be verified from several other aspects.

Measure specific gravity. The specific gravity of silver is lower than that of gold and platinum, but higher than that of other common metals such as copper, lead and zinc. The average weight of a Guangxu gold ingot is between 26.5 grams and 27 grams, and the weight of one or two silver coins is 33 grams, so the error of real silver coins is very small. As long as the real silver dollar and the fake silver dollar with the same volume are compared, the authenticity can be seen immediately.

Edge detection teeth. The side teeth of the silver dollar mechanism are detailed and symmetrical, and the rules are unified. The side teeth of counterfeit money are rough and uneven, and some have traces of local filing. As long as you are careful, it is easy to distinguish with the naked eye. In addition, many fake silver dollars are made of "Zhuansha". If the words and patterns are vague and the texture is light, be careful.

Check for wear. After a long period of circulation, the silver dollar has no regularity in the natural wear and scratch marks, while the old fakes reveal the regular wear and scratch of human behavior and machine behavior.

The simplest way is to take several real silver dollars of the same kind and observe them carefully with a magnifying glass, so that there is no trace of fake silver dollars. To collect silver dollars, you need to know the year number, issuer, version and so on. The prices of different year numbers in the same edition vary greatly. At the same time, we should strive to be "refined" on the basis of "truth", choose some fine products with less market circulation and good appearance, and improve our rate of return.
