Chapter 989 Old Man Han Talks About Appreciating Treasures
The tide is rising at night.
Only a small piece of the stranded ship was exposed on the sea surface. The flames on the cliffs had not yet been extinguished, and thick smoke was emitted, which was clearly visible in the moonlight.
Waves slap on the beach covered with human garbage, from plastic water bottles to damaged fishing nets, plastic bags, foam, everything.
There is even half a motorboat among them, and God knows how it came here
The man in trouble, named Milton Bernanke, was a zoo administrator. His wife was Kim Bernanke. She had been an elementary school teacher for more than ten years and just resigned in July this year.
The two of them stood by the fire and saw the Osed launch platform walking away from the giant cargo ship, and their hearts were chilling.
With hope, but despair.
I hugged each other and she burst into tears in pain, and the sound was heartbreaking.
They did not notice that a yacht about 30 meters gradually left the route and headed towards this small island.
Han Xuan didn't see the fire at first. When the fire was lit, the yacht was about to pass by it. It was a sharp-eyed Alaskan sled dog Snoopy barking reminding people that they discovered it.
Drive to the nearshore and put down the speedboat.
The bodyguards took some time to find the couple successfully after they got ashore
When Han Xuan took the two back to the yacht of Snow Mountain, he turned his head awkwardly when he first met the woman because she didn't wear a top at all, her breasts were exposed, and her skin was sunburned into wheat.
Bodyguard George then reacted, took off his white shirt, exposed his strong muscles, and handed the clothes to the other party.
Under the deck light.
The old man asked about their identity, Lopez recorded his driver's license number, and immediately went to find someone to verify by using the satellite phone. When he came back, he told the grandfather and grandson about an unexpected news.
The couple is indeed listed as missing persons, and the insurance company has even believed they were killed and paid a large sum of money to their families.
At the same time, the Bernanke and his wife were also winners of the Powerball lottery in July, and received a total of more than 20 million US dollars in pre-tax rewards!
I didn’t expect that when I bought a yacht and enjoyed it, I was so happy and sad.
After they both took a shower and changed their clothes, the food that the old man asked someone to prepare was also ready.
The steak is still hot?
I am not afraid, I ate it and stuffed it into my mouth, ate it and cried, and I said thank you no less than ten times during this period.
The grandfather and grandson, as well as Anya, Isabelle and Ramirez, stood by and watched them eat.
Bernanke didn't put down his knife and fork until he was so nauseous that he could no longer eat. He heard Han Xuan ask what happened and told his experience.
Just as they were listening seriously, an Italian crew member came and said in broken English: "Sir, ma'am, if you don't plan to take clothes, I will throw them away for you.
Also, this thing was left in the bathroom, who threw it away?"
When Mr. Bernanke saw the small bag in his hand, he subconsciously touched his pocket and then shouted: "It's mine, I forgot to take it just now!
Thank you! Thank you…”
Han Xuan saw that under the light, he could not see the surface of the bag made of material, outlined a circle, and made a sound of metal collision.
He looked puzzled and asked, "Sorry, what are you pretending here?
I just discovered it, and when you and your wife got on the boat, they didn't bring anything else except it."
“…just some gold coins.”
Mr. Bernanke had already stuffed the strap into his pocket, and when he heard Han Xuan's words, he took it out again.
If it were someone else, he would not dare to do this, and the Han family had money, so he thought he would not care about these little things.
Director Susan turned on the camera to shoot as soon as he heard a distress signal.
I was thinking in my heart that there was no wonder that there was so much news about Han Xuan. His life was so colorful and there were all kinds of weird things.
At this moment, carrying the camera closes to capture Bernanke's movements.
He poured out a total of less than thirty gold coins from the bag, piled them together, and there was no specific number.
“Huh?
It's a very old age. This is a California gold coin from 1863. At that time, paper money was not legal in California, so people used gold coins and silver coins to settle it.
There are quite a lot of existences, so it is not valuable, at most it is only one or two thousand dollars..."
The old man picked up three pieces in a row, all of which were California gold coins from 1847 to 1894.
This thing is like Yuan Datou of China. Sometimes people hide a few pieces as a souvenir, which cannot attract his interest.
When he saw a 1915 Indian head of 5 US dollars gold coins, he introduced the history to the people around him.
All kinds of stories from that year were easy to pick up, and I asked casually: "Where did you find these gold coins?"
Bernanke replied that he was dug up from the island accidentally and placed in a jar at that time, so it was well preserved. He thought for a few seconds before speaking, and was obviously lying.
Mr. Han Xuan felt that this rescue program suddenly became a treasure appraisal column.
At this time, I found that the gold coin was pressed underneath by a silver coin, revealing an eagle head pattern, and reached out to pick it up.
The old man caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, and his eyes lit up: "Good thing! The 1933 Double Eagle Gold Coins!"
After saying that, he took it and looked through it to distinguish the authenticity.
Director Susan clearly realized that the old man did not film Han Xuan to save trouble, and he also asked him specifically: "Can you introduce this gold coin? Is it valuable?"
"Um.
It's very valuable. Speaking of the Double Eagle Gold Coins, it also has something to do with President Roosevelt.
In 1933, an economic crisis broke out. In order to alleviate the bank currency crisis, Roosevelt ordered the nation to ban the issuance of all gold coins.
So that year, hundreds of thousands of double eagle gold coins were printed in large quantities, but they were eventually unable to flow into the market. At that time, a warehouse administrator secretly hid ten gold coins.
When the first one was sold, the agents were targeted. All the remaining nine were confiscated. They searched for the remaining one for a long time and did not reappear until 1966.
It was eventually confiscated by the US government, and its former owner is still in a lawsuit with our US government.
If this one is real, it means that other gold coins have flowed out at that time.”
The old man kept silent when he said this because he remembered that he was filming a show now.
Once others know about this gold coin, Bernanke will definitely not be able to keep it. It is considered a stolen property.
Even if the island does not belong to the US territorial waters, the government has the right to recover the gold coin. At that time, Bernanke will inevitably be blamed for leaking the news.
He simply pretended not to know and gently put the gold coins down.
The old man actually wanted to get it, but it is not easy to deal with now.
Even if you buy it from Bernanke, it is still illegal, because the Double Eagle gold coins have never really flowed through it, and they are all things of unknown origin.
After being confiscated by the government, it may be possible to operate and bring gold coins to the grandson's museum.
Susan, who was filming, suddenly realized that it was particularly interesting to see someone else identify antiques.
A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, thinking about planning a treasure appraisal column, which may attract audiences.
In fact, more than a month later, she did really do this, and the old man agreed.
The Snow Mountain Yacht finally caught up with the Osed rocket launch platform again, and it is more than 30 nautical miles away from its destination... (To be continued.)
