Chapter 670 284: Old Five Emperors Sword! New Five Emperors Sword!

Chen Han put down the one yuan coin, then took the bag of copper coins back to his room.

After closing the door, he placed the copper coins from the bag onto the table.

These copper coins spanned different dynasties, he picked up a few to examine.

All were the first batch of copper coins issued by various dynasties.

For instance, Sui Dynasty Five Coins, Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan Era, Song Dynasty Jianlong, Ming Dynasty Hongwu ToTreasury Coin.

Naturally, these are representative examples, there are also copper coins minted during currency changes of other renowned dynasties.

He piled up a small heap.

And these are all ancient ones; the rest made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Several domestic one yuan coins, a few five-fen coins.

Stars and Stripes 5 cents, 25 cents.

Bear's 10 ruble coins, 50 ruble coins.

Penny coin from Britain.

Blue nation's 10 euro coins and 2 euro coins.

These are Five Virtues coins, though not many in quantity, they appear quite incongruous alongside these copper coins.

However, after a brief check, he was surprised to find that the collection price of these modern coins was no less than that of the copper coins.

For instance, just a first version domestic one yuan coin, as long as it was part of the first batch of 2000 manufactured, the sale price per coin exceeded the million level.

Such a price outstrips the collection prices of most copper coins, except for those considered unique copies.

Similarly, upon checking coins of the other 4 countries under similar circumstances, their collection prices were exceptionally high, single coins could fetch high prices at auctions.

It might even be said, if these modern coins are all first editions, without needing to be first batches, their combined collection value could be greater than that of ancient copper coins.

He had no idea before checking, but after checking, he learned of an additional piece of useless knowledge.

Chen Han roughly understood Mr. Liu's thought process, likely because he didn't know what the coins were for, after spreading the word, someone brought modern coins to inquire.

Knowing modern coin prices were higher than ancient ones, he likely thought if he didn't know their use anyway, it doesn't hurt to buy them all.

Liu Ye indeed held this mentality, to him, the money spent on those coins was fundamentally insignificant, even if Patriarch Chen didn't use them, buying them didn't cost much more.

But what if Patriarch Chen needed them? Then buying them made a difference.

Back in his own courtyard, he excitedly took out the Body Forging Pill given by Patriarch Chen, opened the bottle, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose.

He had heard some Chen Clan Members discussing these Body Forging Pills, even they required contributions to earn them as rewards, and it wasn't much.

Now the small bottle given by Patriarch Chen contained quite a few.

He poured one into his mouth and entered the hall, he used to love working out before when he was young, so now that his leg was better, he brought out some fitness equipment into the hall too.

On a fitness machine for exercise, his face started to show signs of joy shortly after.

So worth it.

...

In the room, Chen Han began examining those copper coins, naturally by putting them into the game inventory to check the information.

[Yongzheng Treasury Coin: This is a first edition copper coin issued before Yong Zheng's reign, unfortunately obtained from burial items, it carries Yin Qi, and holds no practical use.]

[Five Coin Money: This is a first edition copper coin from the Han Dynasty period, the surface is damaged, as it was extracted from underground, the Yin Qi is too heavy, unsuitable for long-term wear.]

[Kaiping Treasury Coin: This is a copper coin with some collectible value, but lacks special Spiritual Qi!]

...

As Chen Han examined each copper coin, he suddenly felt an ominous sign of misfortune.

Every copper coin he examined was either obtained through tomb raiding or completely useless.

He viewed dozens of copper coins, all taken from underground, even if not from tombs, they had lost their popularity, holding no practical value beyond collection.

Even those harboring Yin Qi had adverse effects on people, possibly said by science to host harmful substances, microorganisms flourish, chemical and physical pollution, etc.

In other words, if in movies Uncle Nine used such copper coins to make a Copper Coin Sword to combat zombies, the zombies might cheerfully shout 'How invigorating'.

He continued to examine the remaining ones, this time the first copper coin brought a small surprise.

[Han Wuzhu Coin: This is the first version of Five Coins made during Han Five Emperors period, widely circulated, bearing some destiny and popularity of an era, though buried underground for extended periods, its destiny and popularity are mostly depleted, retaining just a little, nonetheless, it can fulfill the basic requirements for Old Five Emperors Sword crafting!

Note: Gather the remaining 4 old emperor copper coins to craft a genuine Old Five Emperors Sword.]

Chen Han felt a bit comforted.

Five Emperors Sword is also referred to as the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword, like those used by Uncle Nine to slash zombies, crafted using Five Emperors copper coins.

Now the copper coin in his hand could be used to craft a Five Emperors Sword, well-suited for cutting zombies with no issues.

Merely the words 'Old Five Emperors Sword' made him pause, pondering.

He subconsciously took out a one yuan coin and put it into the game inventory, checking the remark information:

[Red Coin: This is a rare edition red coin, the first version coin truly generated after a country's establishment, as it grew stronger daily, this version of the coin also circulated among countless people, not only possessing flourishing popularity but also enhanced with deep destiny, it's an excellent material for crafting New Five Emperors Sword.
