Capítulo 3: Ch-3 Earns five million dollars!!
One hundred thousand dollars!
Not even in his previous life had he ever seen so much money in one place. If he didn't sell it, he'd be a fool.
After all, it was unlikely that anyone but the president of Hermès would pay such a high price for a guitar case.
"Deal!"
Ryan agreed immediately.
Since the guitar case hadn't been sold yet, it still belonged to him, so of course he had the right to sell it. As for whether the case was real or not, who was to say?
This guy was convinced it was real and was willing to pay $100,000 for it. Even if it turned out to be fake, it wouldn't be Ryan's problem.
"Old John, I didn't expect you to make mistakes sometimes."
Seynes chuckled at the older man behind the counter, who was clearly in a good mood. They seemed to have a good relationship.
"I don't know much about luxury items," Old John admitted with a smile. Every collector has his specialty, and he wasn't well versed in luxury goods, so mistakes were bound to happen.
After selling these two items, Ryan had made a quick profit of $110,000. He was in a great mood.
He took a handful of silver coins of unknown origin from his wallet.
Seven silver coins from seven different countries and eras.
In the United States, many collectors are passionate about historical gold and silver coins, so antique silver coins can fetch high prices.
Together, these seven silver coins were worth at least a few thousand dollars.
"Hiss!"
Old John's casual expression changed as he took a closer look at the silver coins on the table.
His eyes narrowed as he spotted one particular coin - a dollar coin depicting the Statue of Liberty with flowing hair.
Old John picked up a magnifying glass and closely examined the details of the coin. After a few moments, he exhaled deeply.
"Where did you get this silver coin?"
"Inherited," Ryan replied without blinking. No one knew where the coins came from, so he could say whatever he wanted.
Judging from the expression on the old man's face, this coin was valuable.
Even when he had seen the guitar case worth $100,000, the old man's face had hardly changed.
Ryan estimated that this silver coin was worth at least $300,000.
"The other coins are from the Middle European period, beautifully crafted and well preserved. I can offer you a thousand dollars each for them."
"As for this Statue of Liberty coin with flowing hair, how much do you want for it?"
Old John didn't make an offer right away, waiting for Ryan to name his price.
Ryan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then slowly held out five fingers.
He didn't know the exact value of the coin, but he thought he'd aim high and leave some room for negotiation.
He offered $500,000, but his actual expectation was around $300,000.
Anything more would be a bonus.
"Deal!"
To Ryan's surprise, Old John didn't hesitate or try to haggle.
"How would you like the five million dollars?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Ryan choked, coughing as his eyes widened.
'How much? Five million dollars?'
Ryan thought he'd misheard, but the look on Old John's face suggested he thought he'd gotten a great bargain.
Obviously, this coin had to be worth well over five million.
But the deal was done, and he couldn't go back on his word.
"Just put it on my card," he replied, still in shock.
As he left the antique shop, Ryan felt an overwhelming sense of disbelief.
In less than an hour, he'd gone from a man with barely $10,000 to a millionaire worth five million.
Staring at the balance on his bank card, Ryan pinched his thigh to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"It's real!"
It wasn't until he got home that Ryan finally began to calm down.
He suddenly thought about the five million dollar silver coin.
Ryan quickly pulled out his phone to look it up.
He actually found something.
The Flowing Hair Liberty Dollar is the first dollar coin issued by the federal government of the United States, and very few were made.
Even fewer have survived.
A few months ago, one of these coins sold at auction for a record $6.6 million.
So Old John definitely got a deal when he bought it for $5 million.
This type of rare coin has immense collector value and isn't something you can just buy with money.
But Ryan hadn't really lost out, either.
After all, the auction house would have taken a hefty commission if he'd sold it at auction, reducing his final payout.
In a private sale, the value of this silver coin would probably be around four to five million.
The money was in his account, so his next steps were easy.
Ryan pulled out his phone and immediately placed an order.
He spent over ten thousand dollars to buy a healthy Belgian Blue bull online.
Since sacrificing a few pieces of beef had strengthened his body before, he figured that with enough sacrifices, his body could become even stronger.
Then he could start exploring the worlds beyond the time-space gate.
After placing the order, Ryan settled down to wait for the delivery.
