Chapter 114 Birch Cent
Henry went back to his old ways and looked for answers online.
Soon, his eyes widened slightly.
"This coin is called a Birch cent, and it's worth about two million dollars. Oh my God!" Henry couldn't help but scream.
All eyes were attracted to it instantly, except for Lin Yuan. He already knew the value, so he didn't make a fuss.
"Let me take a look." The old uncle took the phone away.
Although this action was a bit unreasonable, no one criticized him. After all, he was Lin Yuan's uncle, so he could accept it no matter how much it went too far.
I saw that this coin was the first coin forged in the United States, and it is also one of the only 7 specially manufactured coins in existence.
It is called the Birch cent because it is named after its designer, Robert Birch.
One side of the coin shows the head of a young curly-haired woman. Surrounding the portrait is a circle of large characters "Mother of Free Science and Industry".
When the coin was first designed, the U.S. Senate suggested using the portrait of Washington. However, in order to compete with the Senate, the fledgling House of Representatives insisted on using the portrait of a woman, thus creating the rare value of this coin.
On the reverse side of the coin, a laurel wreath surrounds the "1 cent" value indication, and the laurel flower is surrounded by the embossed words "The United States of America."
In order to prevent forgery, the lower end of the laurel wreath is also cast with the words "1/100".
One hundred years ago, this coin was worth $1,000.
Today, a hundred years later, the value has risen to about two million US dollars.
Luckily for Paul, this wasn't the first day he went treasure hunting with Lin Yuan. He had seen the world.
David and Tony gasped.
God! In this short period of time, their boss earned two million US dollars, which is faster than the bosses of some listed companies, right?
However, they were relieved to learn that this was the earliest one-cent coin in the United States. It was extremely rare, had special significance, and was worth more than two million U.S. dollars.
Just following the boss and drinking soup is enough to make them rich.
David was thinking about buying some gift for his wife in two days. It would be his and his wife's wedding anniversary. In previous years, he didn't have much money in his pocket, so he almost always spent his wedding anniversaries with a bouquet of flowers.
Now that he has earned money, he wants to buy a substantial gift for his wife.
Lin Yuan threw the pistol to Tony.
Tony took it off and saw there were bullets inside.
"This kind of pistol is not good. The power of the pistol is a little bit large. It is okay for men to use, but it is easy for women to misfire when using this type of pistol." Tony said.
To be honest, the pistol he despised the most in this iron can was.
Little did he know that if this were China, pistols would probably be the most attractive, especially to men. When you open the tin can, the first thing you take is most likely the gold, and then the pistol.
"Fill in the soil and let's leave quickly," the old uncle said.
Because he is older and senior, he doesn't have to do any work and basically just orders others. Sometimes, even Lin Yuan would help out, do odd jobs, etc., but the old uncle would just be the leader with his hands behind his back.
David nodded: "Yes! This kind of thing is probably left by thieves, robbers and the like. It is stolen property. Erase the traces quickly and leave quickly."
His sense of crisis is quite strong.
Everyone did not dare to neglect, immediately filled up the soil, and then restored it to its original state.
During this period, some people may have seen it from a distance, but they didn’t care much. Who of the people who come here are not diggers? Therefore, Lin Yuan's behavior was not abrupt and would not attract much attention.
Besides, everyone is busy hunting for treasure! Who is looking at you? Lin Yuan and the others didn't know that a black man came back here a few days later, dug wildly in the ground, and finally screamed in despair. Those things were stolen by him and have been buried here for many years.
At first, after he stole it, he didn't dare to use it at all. He thought that if he took it out after ten or eight years, it would be fine.
Lin Yuan and the others continued to walk forward and saw two groups of people fighting.
When I got closer, I realized that two groups of people had found an underground entrance at the same time and were now fighting for ownership!
Lin Yuan's treasure hunt instrument was swept away, and there was no movement at all.
The two groups were of equal strength, and in the end neither could do anything to the other, so they discussed and decided to explore together and share the harvest equally.
Mainly because they saw Lin Yuan and his party coming over. They didn't want a third party to step in and get a share of the pie, so they quickly reached an agreement.
"Forget it, let's not get involved." Lin Yuan stopped David.
Judging from David's actions, he was planning to take out the pistol he just got. Isn’t it reasonable that they want a share of the pie if they have weapons? Who disagrees?
have to! After hearing Lin Yuan's words, David put his hands down, but he felt a little regretful.
In his view, if you have a gun, you must get a share of the pie, and you have to agree even if you don't agree.

The two groups also noticed the pistol on David's waist, and their expressions changed. However, I was a little relieved when I saw that David didn't make any next move.
If David really wanted to get involved, there was nothing they could do, but they just regretted it. Why didn't they bring a gun when they went out?
The two groups quickly got in, and soon they were dumbfounded.
I saw that the underground space was quite large, but it was full of cans and other daily necessities. For those who didn’t know, I thought this was a supermarket warehouse!
Now, they're a little numb.
This thing is tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away. It's a bit tasteless!
If necessary, it will take a lot of effort to move it out, transport it, and resell it. Moving it out and transporting it is easy, but reselling it is a bit difficult.
It’s not that it can’t be sold, it’s just that it’s very troublesome.
Calculated, the cost is huge and the profit is very little, or even not necessarily profitable. These are all cheap daily necessities!
"How about you give us 20,000 US dollars and we don't want any of this." One of the group said.
The other group shook their heads: "You give us 20,000 US dollars, and we will quit. Forget it, just give us 15,000 US dollars."
He also took a step back and took the initiative to "bargain".
"Then let's move together! We will sell as much as we can."
"Okay! What's here is ours, what's over there is yours, are you okay?"
"Okay!"
The two sides discussed it again.
Although these items have not been used and have not expired, they can only be sold at low prices after being taken out.
It's obvious that this is a doomsday fortress built by someone with too much time to spare. These items, especially food, are meant to prepare for the end of the world.
Lin Yuan and the others were speechless when they saw the various cans brought up by the two groups.
Canned food has always been guilty of many "crimes" in China - unpalatable, stale, rich in preservatives, nutrient loss, carcinogenic nitrite, etc.
In the United States, and even in the entire Western countries, canned food is very popular and popular.
