Chapter 299: Medals of World War II

Walker parked the car on the south side of the courtyard market and blocked the southern forest with the huge body, which could prevent anyone from sniping of the forest.

Jason's Lincoln Navigator and Lexington's armed and secure Hummer, under Walker's command, blocked the other two directions separately.

Don't worry about the east side of the highway at all, there are a lot of police and FBI blocking it! Is very safe!

After the car stopped, Walker and Raymond, as well as the four Lexington armed security guards, got out of the car first and started to check the safety situation here.

Raising the binoculars, Raymond surveyed the surrounding situation again, without missing anything, very carefully!

Seeing these heavily armed security personnel, as well as the police and FBI scowling on the highway, the two stall owners and dozens of treasure hunters in the courtyard market took a breath of air!

How many people did this bastard offend? It's damn crazy to bring a small army with him!

"Steven, it's safe to get off the car!"

After checking the place, Raymond immediately said through the headset.

After speaking, they continued to stare around vigilantly, to guard against any accidents.

"Ok!"

Ye Tian replied, then opened the door and walked out with Betty.

Jason and Sophie, as well as many excited reporters, got out of their vehicles and walked towards the courtyard market.

"What a fucking eye-opener! This is the most exaggerated treasure hunting team I have ever seen! Not only with a small army, but also with an interview team, never seen before!"

"Just the asshole Steven! Who can be so arrogant for someone else? Who dares to be so swagger?"

Looking at the coming group of people, the treasure hunters in front of the booth all had a dumbfounded expression!

"Guys, good morning, this is Steven, it's nice to meet you!"

When he approached, Ye Tian smiled and greeted everyone on the scene.

At the same time, he also nodded politely at two of the treasure hunters.

These two are familiar faces, professional treasure hunters from Missouri. They met in Jack Wade, and they were with the beaten Big Al. They were slashed by themselves. They must be very impressed!

Seeing Ye Tian greet him, the two guys immediately squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and nodded at Ye Tian!

Happy fart! Are we happy to meet you bastard!

Every treasure hunter is secretly complaining, but the superficial article is still to be done.

"Steven, good morning, I didn't expect to meet you here. It is a great honor. I am Carter, a professional treasure hunter from Arizona!"

The nearest black buddy introduced himself and shook hands with Ye Tian.

Others introduced themselves one after another, and everyone knew each other.

Without exception, these guys are all professional treasure hunters, from Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee.

After saying hello, Ye Tian immediately smiled and asked:

"Guys, how did you get here? Aren't you accidentally bumped into?"

A dozen professional treasure hunters gathered in this small courtyard market at the same time in the 127 corridor of hundreds of miles. It was a coincidence that no one would believe it!

The guys just smiled and didn't answer. One of the stall owners answered the question.

"Hello, Steven, welcome to our booth. I'm Juan. Next to me is Charles. We are of Kentucky. We live here.

It was the news that I posted on the website of the Warehouse Association, which brought professional treasure hunters from several nearby states to come over today. These buddies came here because they saw the news!"

"Good morning, Juan, good morning, Charles, it seems that I am very lucky today, and I am not late, just in time for see your stall!"

Ye Tian greeted the two stall owners, and then cast his eyes on the goods on the stall.

"Yes, you came at the right time. We start out on the first day, and it didn't take long to put it out. We haven't sold a few items yet, you can take a look!"

Juan explained with a smile, his eyes full of excitement, and Charles was also very excited.

This guy is a millionaire and very generous. They might make a fortune today!

"That's great! Let me see these babies, maybe there are ones I like!"

With that said, Ye Tian had already stepped forward, squatting in front of the stall, and began to appreciate the goods.

The rest of the treasure hunters immediately became nervous, staring at Ye Tian, ​​lest he fall in love with his favorite baby and cut his head halfway! That would be unlucky!

The things on the two stalls are basically the same, they are all military products, filled with stalls made of two folding beds!

To be precise, most of the medals of various countries participating in the war in Europe during World War II are in front of you, and you can see the medals of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union.

In addition, there are a few US military medals during the Vietnam War, as well as medals that are still being awarded.

The number of medals on the booth is quite large, to say nothing more than a few hundred! The categories are also very complete!

Except for some rare medals that he never haven't seen, the rest are basically available, and they are still complete sets for different countries. You can build a World War II medal museum!

The most commendable thing is that these medals are all authentic and in good condition. They shine with white light in Ye Tian's eyes, showing the age they came from.

Some of them are exquisitely designed with several layers of halo, which shows that in addition to their important historical significance, these medals also have considerable artistic value!

Medal is the highest honor awarded by the country to those who have made meritorious services. It is an honor above life.

The award of medals represents the indelible contribution of the honoree to the cause of justice and is the highest form of spiritual reward.

Every recipient of the medal regards the medal as his life, and thus doubles the collection. This makes the collection of medals always extremely difficult, and therefore creates the highest standard collection category in the collection industry.

Medal collection!

In the collection world, the medal is the highest stage of collection and a lifelong pursuit for collectors!

Although the level of medal collection is very high, it is a niche collection. There are not many people who collect it, but the connotation is extremely deep and it is a very meaningful collection category.

Behind each medal, there is a moving historical story and gunfire and smoke. This is the charm of the medal collection!

In addition, regardless of the size of the medals are generally small, the value is not low!

In countries around the world, high-level medals have become national cultural relics, and some very important and rare medals are even more valuable.

For example, the Victory Medal of the former Soviet Union is the highest medal of honor of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. It is only awarded to senior commanders of the Red Army to reward them for their bravery in large-scale battles and multiple battles.

A total of only 20 medals of victory were awarded, and each of them is currently worth at least millions of dollars, no less than those masterpieces!

The most expensive medal in the United States is the Revolutionary Medal awarded to the first President of the United States, George Washington, also called the Cincinnati Gold Medal.

The successor of the Washington family brought it to the Sotheby's auction in New York. Experts valued this American national treasure at 10 million US dollars! Extremely expensive!

It is a pity that among the hundreds of medals in front of Ye Tian, ​​none of them have great historical significance or are of great value. They are basically relatively ordinary medals! The unit price is not too high!

But it is better than a large number and a complete range, so it is also rare!

The Iron Cross of Germany II, the Iron Cross of the German Knights, the Alexander Nevsky Medal of the Soviet Union, the Patriotic War Medal II,...

Ye Tian looked at these shining stars of honor one by one, very focused, fast and careful.

Good condition and careful maintenance, they are all very good collections!

The number of these medals is so huge that it is impossible to appreciate them one by one in a short period of time. They can only be slowly appreciated and studied carefully later!

After only looking at 30 or so of them, Ye Tian was so excited that his eyes lit up, and he was extremely eager to take them down!

As for the professional treasure hunters next to him, Ye Tian didn't care at all, nor did he consider them as opponents at all!

When did the things that the buddies fell in love with was missed? Today is no exception!

Sorry! You guys are destined to come in vain, who made you miserably run into buddies, consider yourself unlucky!

Slightly suppressing his excitement, Ye Tian put down the German '50 Tank Armored Attack Medal' in his hand, stood up and asked curiously:

"Juan! Tell me about these medals. With your age, it seems impossible to collect so many World War II medals? There should be a story here, right?

I don't understand one more thing. Why don't you send these medals to the auction house? Is there any reason why you might not be able to get a higher price?"

Juan and Charles are both white boys in their twenties and thirties. They may be able to play a medal collection of this size, and they may not have this background!

These medals are either the collection of a certain collector or the collection of a certain veteran for decades. Those who have served as soldiers have a special feeling for the medals, and they are also the main group of medal collectors.

In short, they cannot be the collection of Juan and Charles.

Not only did Ye Tian have this question, the others at the scene were also surprised. Everyone looked at Juan and Charles, waiting for their answers.

The facts were just as Ye Tian expected, Juan nodded with a smile, and then began to explain.

"Steven, you are right. This is indeed not our collection, and we don't have the ability to collect so many medals. This is the common collection of our grandfathers.

They are veterans of World War II and old friends. They have this hobby of collecting. Most of these medals were collected during the war in Europe, and it took decades to accumulate so much.

These medals are mainly from World War II veterans, so most of what you see are World War II medals. Only the Vietnam War and modern ones are in the collection of Charles and mine. They are not worth mentioning! "

"It turns out that they are from World War II veterans, which makes sense! Salute to your grandpa!"

Ye Tian suddenly said, with this explanation, his determination to win these medals suddenly became firmer.

Regardless of whether this explanation is true or not, as long as Juan speaks it out here and lets everyone hear it, then he can take it without worrying about any trouble!

"Thank you!"

Juan nodded and thanked him, and continued to explain:

"After inheriting these medals, I didn't think about selling them at first, but recently I needed to buy land, expand the scale of my farm, and I was tight on hand, so I thought of selling them.

In addition, Charles also agreed to sell, we discussed it and decided to take advantage of the opening of the 127 corridor to call a capable treasure hunter to sell these collections.

You not see all the medals some of the rarer and more valuable ones have been picked by the Louisville auction house, about forty, and all the rest are here! "

"No wonder I didn't see even a rare medal, which has already been picked by someone, I am still late!"

Ye Tian said regretfully, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

But his emotions were not affected at all, and he was still very excited, even excited!

Because his real goal is not these World War II medals, but something else. These medals are just excuses to cut through, the best smoke bombs!

Of course, he also likes these World War II medals very much and really wants to win them.
