Zhu Yu stuffed the jar into his pocket, hurriedly stuffed the soil back with his hands, and then restored the wooden strips.

It was too hasty and the traces are very obvious. If the homeowner looks carefully, he will definitely find the problem!

The owner of the house had already reached the door of the kitchen. Zhu Yu was heartbroken and simply went up to meet him, trying to trick him away first!

"Sir, I'm going to buy that record player!"

As soon as the landlord appeared, Zhu Yu spoke.

The landlord was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, someone shouted outside, so the landlord had to say "sorry" and turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhu Yu let out a long breath, quickly turned back and opened the wooden bars, took back the scattered soil that was still exposed, and then restored the wooden bars and tightened them.

Seeing that the landlord had finished taking care of the outside matters, Zhu Yu quickly came to the study and looked at the record player.

The homeowner went to the kitchen to take a look, but didn't find Zhu Yu, so he came to the study again.

"Two hundred dollars, I think it's worth the price." Zhu Yu heard the homeowner coming, turned to him and said, "This is a nice thing, I like it."

With that said, he took out two hundred dollars and handed it over.

The landlord didn't expect that Zhu Yu didn't even tell the price. He was stunned for a moment, then took the money with a smile:

"You are a collector who knows the goods! Take another look. If there is anything you like, I will give you a discount!"

Zhu Yu nodded with a smile and walked out with the record player in his arms. He was holding a large record player and his walking movements were uncoordinated. Of course, another important reason was that he had a very heavy can in his pocket!

However, the huge record player perfectly blocked the protruding shape in the pocket. Those people, including the house owner, saw nothing unusual when they saw Zhu Yu walking out.

Zhu Yu looked calm, but actually he was panicking!

Walking to the pickup truck, he leaned the record player against the pickup truck, took out the key with one hand, opened the door, and got in with the record player. After putting down the record player, he quickly put down the rusty iron can as well.

Got into the car.

Back in the yard, Zhu Yu walked around again, bought an old-fashioned desk lamp for twenty dollars, and then said goodbye and left.

A while after he left, the landlord remembered that he hadn't asked the buyer's name yet.

What a disrespectful thing!

The car drove for more than a kilometer before Zhu Yu's excitement finally calmed down.

After finding a parking lot and stopping at random, Zhu Yu grabbed the jar and looked at it carefully.

The old-fashioned iron can had circles and lines all over it. It was slightly thicker than the ordinary cans today and was less than twenty centimeters long. Even if it was shaken, no sound came out from inside.

The top cover was buckled, Zhu Yu tried to twist it, but it didn't come open.

He had to take out his knife and pry it up.

Fortunately, the lid of the iron can was severely corroded, so it took Zhu Yu less than two minutes to remove the lid.

Then I saw a ball of blackened cloth stuffed at the mouth of the jar. The reason why the contents inside didn't make any sound was all because of this ball of cloth.

Taking out the cotton cloth, Zhu Yu's eyes lit up!

It's full of yellow gold coins!

Zhu Yu took out a gold coin and looked at it carefully.

Because he had found gold coins, Zhu Yu also checked the situation of gold coins in Lao America when he had time.

So he recognized the gold coin in his hand.

This is an American Morgan gold coin minted in 1901. There is a story behind the casting of the Morgan gold coin.

This gold coin is named after its designer GEORGE T. MORGAN. It is a legal currency of the United States. The minting years are from 1878 to 1904, and a batch was briefly minted in 1921.

According to the legal regulations at the time, the obverse image of the gold coin should be the Statue of Liberty, while the reverse image should be the eagle, which symbolizes the United States. How can these two images be perfectly displayed on the coin surface? Young Morgan was concerned about the image of the Statue of Liberty.

Instead of imagining the appearance of an ancient Greek-style goddess like other sculptors, Morgan decided to look for a model from the American women around him.

After rejecting many candidates, Morgan finally selected a woman named Anna Williams after being recommended by his friend, the famous painter Thomas Eakins.

Anna was reluctant at first, but under the persuasion of her friends, she reluctantly worked as a model for Morgan a few times on the condition that her identity be kept secret. Morgan was very satisfied with Anna's image. He once said that her appearance was the best he had ever seen.

The most perfect of all British and American women.

These gold coins were produced from 1878 to 1904 and minted again in 1921.

On the front of the gold coin is the profile of the Statue of Liberty, wearing a "LIBERTY" crown. There are 13 six-pointed stars around the coin, representing the 13 states of the United States at the time of independence. The year number "1901" is below.

On the back is the eagle emblem, with its head to the left, its right paw holding an olive branch, and its left talon holding three sharp arrows to show its defense of freedom, equality, and independence. The outer circle is "UNITED STATES OF" and "FIVE"

DOLLAR" (5 U.S. dollars), with the abbreviation in Goethe font above the eagle's head: IN GOD WE TRUST (We believe in God).

Zhu Yu looked at this gold coin, then looked at the other gold coins, and found that although the gold coins had signs of use, they were very well preserved.

He poured out all the gold coins in the jar and counted them one by one.

One hundred and fifty!

This small jar actually contained one hundred and fifty Morgan gold coins!

Zhu Yu remembered that the current market price is about two thousand US dollars.

These one hundred and fifty pieces are equivalent to three hundred thousand dollars!

hehe!

This is really a rush to get money delivered to your door!

But think about it, if you didn't have a clairvoyance, this kind of thing wouldn't be possible - the gold coins might continue to be buried until a certain owner renovates the house and discovers them.

Or maybe it has just been buried like that.

Zhu Yu drove to Smith's second-hand store again.

Seeing Zhu Yu coming in with a big record player in his arms, Smith came up to him with a smile:

"Zhu, what you brought this time is not very good!"

Zhu Yu put the record player on the counter and said:

“Let’s estimate the price!”

"There are not many of these things from the last century left." After inspecting them, Smith said, "There are not many that I like to collect - about five hundred dollars!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yu didn't bargain. He took out another Morgan gold coin and tossed it in his hand and said:

"what about this?"

"Morgan?" Smith's eyes lit up, "It looks good!"

He took the gold coin from Zhu Yu's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Two thousand two hundred dollars a coin, this is the highest price I can offer at the moment."

"What if there are 150 pieces?" Zhu Yu thought the price was good, so he planned to sell them all here.

"What?" Smith exclaimed, attracting the attention of many people around him.

Smith also knew that he had lost his composure. He immediately pulled Zhu Yu to the counter, passed through a door and entered the lounge at the back, and then said eagerly:

"Which collector did you rob, or did you find someone else's treasure? How come there are so many?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask." Smith understood immediately and raised his hand and shook it:
Chapter completed!
