Chapter 1502: Rare antique gold coin
Ye Tian looked at the big gold coin in Raymond's hand, and then pretended to be surprised:
"This is a Spanish Doblon gold coin, worth eight escudos, and the number of such large gold coins is very small, and it is still rare!
If I’m not mistaken, this rare Dobron gold coin should have been minted by the Spanish Mint in Panama City, and it was minted around 1580.
Raymond, look at the front and right side of this gold Dobron coin. Does it have the capital ‘AP’? That is the logo of the Panama Mint, which specifically means Upper Peru"
Hearing this, Raymond immediately began to check the Dobron coins in his hand.
After a few seconds, the guy nodded excitedly and said:
"Your eyesight is amazing, Steven, that's right, this Dobron coin does have the capital'AP' on it, right where you said it!
It seems that this is indeed a Doblon gold coin minted in Panama City. The value of this gold coin must be very high, right? It must be a valuable antique gold coin! "
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:
"You are right, Raymond, this is indeed a valuable antique gold coin, and it is one of the most expensive Spanish antique gold coins, with a current market value of no less than 200,000 US dollars.
The reason why this kind of Dobronian gold coin is so expensive is in the Panama Mint. In history, this mint has existed for a short time, and it stopped operating after only three years of coining!
Moreover, the coins minted by the Panama Mint are mainly silver coins of the shield emblem series. The gold coins minted are very few, let alone the huge Dobron gold coins, which are completely rare!
Compared with the gold and silver coins minted by several other Spanish and Latin American colonies, the rareness and market price of the gold and silver coins of the Panama Mint are much higher, and it is difficult to see them in the market!
Of course, if a large number of gold and silver coins minted by the Panama Mint pour into the market at the same time, it will definitely lower the market value of these antique coins. It depends on how the owner operates.
If the owner of this kind of gold and silver coins is more wise, they can make a little bit of bulk cargo, extend the timeline of bulk cargo, and let the market slowly digest these rare and antique coins, it is not difficult to maximize the benefits! "
"Wow! It is an exaggeration that a Doblond coin from the Panama Mint is worth more than two hundred thousand U.S. dollars. There are so many Doblond coins here, which is undoubtedly a very amazing asset!"
Raymond said with emotion, his excited eyes shined straight.
"Not only doblon gold coins from the Panama Mint, almost every gold coin here, regardless of whether it is Doblon or Escudo or the rial, is a valuable antique coin.
The market value of these antique gold coins far exceeds the value of the gold used for casting them. Of course, this requires us to do a good job and strive to maximize our profits.
Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let’s continue working. When the exploration is over, we will transport all these antique gold coins back to the Intrepid. It’s time to appreciate them! "
After speaking, Ye Tian threw the rial gold coin in his hand back to the box.
Matisse and Raymond did what they learned, and threw the gold coins in their hands back into the boxes, somewhat reluctant to give up!
Next, Ye Tian asked Matisse and the others to recover the two boxes and locked the boxes with safety locks for the subsequent salvage operations.
After doing this, the three of them went to the corner between the inner bulkhead and the floor of the captain's cabin, ready to deal with the pile of coral covered things.
When underwater robots used metal detectors to explore here before, they detected strong metal signals under the corals. Needless to say, this corner must be full of gold and silver treasures!
It was Matisse and Raymond who were still doing it. They used diving knives to peel off the large pieces of coral covering the gold and silver treasures, while Ye Tian hovered and watched.
Without much effort, the corals of various colors that had grown for hundreds of years and finally took shape were peeled off by Matisse and the others with a sharp and unmatched diving knife, and scattered to the side.
Following Matisse's movements, the sea in the captain's room became a bit muddy, but the dazzling golden light couldn't hide it at all!
Unsurprisingly, under that piece of coral is a pile of glamorous gold coins and a few silver coins, all from the Spanish colonies of Latin America!
Like the previous two boxes of antique gold coins, these gold and silver coins are of different sizes, various denominations, and the age of casting is also different, from the sixteenth century to the middle of the seventeenth century, throughout various periods!
And their origins are also different, covering almost all Spanish mints in Latin America, some from Mexico City, some from Santo Domingo, some from Lima, and so on!
These gold and silver coins are also valuable antique coins, which have a certain collection value, and many of them are extremely rare antique coins.
In this pile of gold and silver coins, Ye Tian even saw the shadow of the Spanish royal eight-shaped escudo in the 16th century. It was one of the most expensive antique gold coins, one worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
The moment they found the pile of gold and silver coins, there was a cheer in the captain's room again, of course from Matisse and Raymond.
Then, the guys in the two submarines outside also cheered excitedly.
After a brief celebration, Ye Tian and the others became busy again.
The three of them worked together and quickly cleaned up the surroundings of the pile of gold and silver coins, and found many scattered gold and silver coins.
After finishing these tasks, they came to the hatchway leading to the treasure room, preparing to enter the airtight treasure room next door.
After arriving in front of the cabin door and stabilizing his figure one after another, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his right hand and tried to push the cabin door to see if he could push it open. Naturally, that would be better!
But it was a pity that the hatch did not move, showing no sign of opening.
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't increase his strength to continue pushing, but withdrew his right hand.
"Obviously, this hatch was blocked by something from the inside, and it was very strong. The thing blocking the door is probably a box full of gold and silver treasures, so it is so heavy!
For the sake of safety, it is best not to forcefully open this hatch. Once the boxes behind the hatch roll over, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction, which is not a good thing!
Let's break it down. It is safer to break it up a little higher. When cutting, you must be careful not to damage the boxes that may exist behind the bulkhead! "
While saying this, Ye Tian quickly selected an ideal location for the demolition, which of course was the result of his secret perspective, foolproof!
After designating the demolition area, he withdrew a few meters back and gave up the position to Matisse and Raymond who were holding the underwater electric cutter.
When Matisse and the others began to cut the bulkhead, Ye Tian swam out of the captain's room with his legs lightly, and came to the five-seater submarine driven by Miller.
He took a few sealed bags from the salvage equipment carried by this small submarine, and then returned to the captain's room.
After returning, he swam straight to the pile of gold and silver treasures at the corner between the bulkhead and the floor, and then landed on the overturned bulkhead, stabilizing his figure.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a sealed bag and opened it, and then supported the mouth of the sealed bag with his left hand, and kneaded gold and silver coins with his right hand. The action was very bold and generous, just like filling rice in his own granary!
He had just finished filling one bag and sealed the mouth of the bag. When he was about to load the second bag, Matisse's excited voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, we have broken the bulkhead. This hidden cabin is indeed a treasure room. Looking in from the broken hole, you can see seven or eight boxes, the same size as the two boxes just now!
Without even thinking about it, these boxes must be full of gold and silver treasures, and maybe there are a lot of jewels and diamonds. In addition to these boxes, there are also many things on the floor of the treasure room, with faint gleaming light! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped what he was doing, turned his head and looked over.
as predicted!
Just like this, Matisse and Raymond have cut a large hole in the bulkhead with a length of one meter two to three meters wide, enough to allow everyone to enter and exit the treasure room freely!
As for what treasure is hidden in that treasure room ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ how valuable it is, Ye Tian already knew it well, couldn't be more clear!
He glanced at the situation there, then smiled and said:
"Matisse, Raymond, don't worry about the situation in the treasure room for now. We will enter the treasure room later to hunt for treasure. There is a time when the gold and silver treasures will not fly with wings!
Come here first, let's clean up the gold and silver treasures scattered in the captain's cabin, and put them all in a sealed bag, so as not to get in the way, but also to salvage later! "
"Ok, Steven"
Matisse nodded in response, and then swam over here with Raymond.
After coming here and stabilizing their bodies one after another, the two guys each took a sealed bag, and in a way, started to plow those dazzling gold and silver coins into the sealed bag!
It didn't take a few minutes. The pile of gold and silver coins that had slept in this corner for hundreds of years has been packed into a sealed bag, and it will surface and see the sun again later!
