Pawn Stars: 5 SUPER RARE ILLEGAL ITEMS | History

okay, I know a thousand things. and a person who could have sold this ring to and made a good profit there is no way they are going to buy a ring without the engraving just plain hey, hey, how are you? I have a coin. I think you might be interested in knowing what I do. You have here, it's a tire shekel like in the Bible. um, yeah, we only buy American coins, man, so you have to take it somewhere else. Wait, wait, since when did we only start buying American coins? Well, that was our rule, um, no, whatever.

I found the coin in an auction lot and thought it was very nice and could have significant historical value, especially since it is 2000 years old. It is old from biblical times and I think they could give me a lot of cash for it. Basically, what you have is a really cool coin that's collectible because, you know, it's from Jerusalem, it's from the time of Christ. Judas supposedly received 30 pieces of silver. Basically, drop a dime on Jesus and it was probably a coin like this, so there's a chance this could be one of those coins. That's right, no, the odds are very against them, they made millions of them, sure, okay, but there's still a chance. however, it's my nude, okay, the shekel up tire was a very common currency a couple of thousand years ago in the Middle East, but there aren't many left and although we can't prove that this is one of the infamous 30 pieces of Bible silver is still valuable because of its rarity, it's really cool how they made coins back then, they hit them with a hammer that was four feet long and the hammer had the face on it and they literally stood four feet back and hit it um even.

The most skilled guy with that hammer would never get a perfect hit every time, which is why you'll see this edge is off center. They're all a little off center. No two are identical. Everything about this is good. Perfect, the problem is that someone cleaned it. Any coin collector considers a clean coin to be a damaged coin. If it wasn't cleaned, I'd offer you five thousand dollars for it. Wow, now the big question is how much do you want for it. Two thousand dollars. Do you think friend, is it old? Take 14. I can't do 1400. I just can't, I mean, it has the historical value.

It has also been cleaned. How about 17.50 1500? I could do 16. Yeah, 1600, deal, okay. you want to write them down, yeah 1600 should help a lot, we have a lot of new expenses with an extra kid and hopefully they will at least buy us some diapers for a few months so your dad thinks he just bought them. The coin that was paid to Judas to represent Jesus, without how you are going to prove that no, it is not going to improve it, what are you going to do? Try it to see the DNA of Jesus. I make a good purchase on an old coin and around here for some reason I have to defend myself doubting all my decisions it has become a hobby for these guys what did you buy rick?

It wasn't the coin they paid Judas it's the same type of coin from the same time period it's not the coin Dude I got a good deal I paid 1600 dollars for it and as soon as I can authenticate it I hope to get 2,500 and three thousand dollars somewhere out there. I'm willing to bet I'll make a pretty decent profit on this, hopefully. That will shut them up, the price doesn't sound bad Rick, do you do anything around here besides complain? Well, that's part of my job, what's up? Andy Hey guys, I have some potentially bad news.

Andy is our head of security, so when he says. He has bad news, it could be very bad, what's wrong? an out-of-town detective called Las Vegas police. The sheckle you brought recently. There is a possibility that it could be stolen. They want to put it on hold. Well, it's 600 dollars less. bathroom, everything we buy goes into a national computer system, oh you want to go write them down, no, and if it turns out stolen we have to return it, it definitely sucks, but it's part of doing business in a

pawn

shop, okay, so this guy stole it.

He's not the guy who brought it to us, so he's been in several hands. I'm the last one and I'm the one who gets stuck with it. Well, they'll have to wait. I sent it in for grading. My dad to you when it rains and it pours, obviously we can't guess what was stolen or not, but throwing more money on it is just his way, you know, I mean it sucks that it happened, but what am I going to do? Damn, Rick. You can be more careful what you buy, how am I supposed to be more careful?

This guy legitimately bought it from someone else. This is just a big excuse for you to complain and pay for something and then I'll have to pay you back. I've lost my job so you know they have a point Rick here are the guys Andy my security guy Andy found out that the shekel I bought was stolen now he has some kind of update I hate to think what the problem could be now so what's up ? The coin we've been working on with the police turns out the guy who originally owned it was compensated for its loss.

It's ours. They released it this morning, so it wasn't stolen. He dodged a bullet. Luckily for us, the currency was insured and the insurance. the company paid for the loss so the coin is free and clear hey rick, don't do the end zone dance yet we don't even know if the damn thing is real if it's real you'll shut up probably no good this is time for the true Hey, those scissors you think Sheckle is real. Don't know. I just think someone should have checked it before buying it. Yes, I hope next time Rick will be more careful.

I have been in the coin business my entire life. It's real, no problem. You can keep the coin and they're still helping me. It never ends. It is real? It's not real. It is real. Look, I told you, good for you after 30 years in the coin business. You understood it well. I hate my family.
