so you know this is like one of the rarest coins in the United States I'm looking to get at least $500,000 or more it's a fake I would put a price tag of $18,000 on it okay how much money we got here $50,000 wow I might talk you in walks a customer with perhaps the rarest coin in US history it's a 1927 d double eagle coin my mother got this from her mom it's been in our family since like the 1940s you know this is like one of the rarest coins in the United States oh yeah I researched it I'm looking to get at least $500,000 or more coin collectors go nuts over this coin how much you looking to get out of this based on my research I'm thinking about half a mil not an unreasonable figure for this coin Rick takes a good look at it and delivers some bad news let me look at it please do okay do you know how much grandma paid for it or anything like that I'm not too sure where she got it from okay I've been in this business a long time and this is not not real it's a it's a fake this is real gold but is not a d d has been added I've seen this plenty of times before the difference is really easy to tell but it is gold so it's got to be worth some $1,800 worth of gold to this it's worth the gold value that's it well thanks for checking it out for me I appreciate it I know that the coin is worth something but in this case the D stands for disappointment a customer comes into the shop to sell a rare coin like to sell this gold coin if I could eight escudos this is aan stamp here this is like the Royal crust of Spain I got that from my grandfather when he died he left a safe full of contents do you know much about this I don't know much about it at all Rick shares a few details regarding the coin ad escudos um it was from Lima Peru they had like the worst mines in the world but it made a fortune for the Spanish when the Spanish occupied Latin America and South America they used forced slave labor to work the mine coins back then were weird the size didn't have to be exactly correct when they stamp these coins out you didn't always get a great strike like this it's almost to good to be true what were you looking to get out of it i' like to get 2,000 this coin is in really great shape but this is easily counterfeited the expert comes in to verify its authenticity it was one of those things that looked a little too good to be true that's a Lima ad scudo and in this corner there's an L that means Lima Peru mint biggest gold coin the Spanish made there was a big Scandal on some counterfeit that's why I want to have it checked out it's 27.0 G that is right on very rarely will they be right on most castings are under way from everything I can see on this one I'd say it's absolutely genuine do you think this is working I would put a price tag give 188,000 on it okay it's like finding treasure what do you want for it sounds like1 18,000 to me no I don't why would we give you 10 grand for it how about 12 how about 10 grand no I can I can take it somewhere else how about 105 I wouldn't take anything less than 11,000 11,000 11,000 okay got a deal I'm shocked at how much the coin was worth I had no idea a customer walks in with a coin hoping it's a very old and rare one I have what I'm hoping is a very very old very rare coin how didd you get it from my understanding it was purchased in auction 30 years ago I got it in a will there's literally hundreds if not over a thousand coins like this you know they put their own faces on it and everything else like that but basically the same amount of silver same way so it made trade really easy between those cities Rick shares some of his concerns that's one of the parts that gets confusing with these coins is dating them and figuring out which city it came from these things go from anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 there's 500 thanks for every real one how much you want for it completely honest I was hoping about 20 grand you know my big concerns are is like it's in really good shape it struck really well most of these coins the figure on the front and these figures on the back are way off center there's a chance this could be real but I'm assuming it's fake so do you have any paperwork with it I do not know not personally let me have someone take a look at it rick decides to call an expert if this is real this is a home run what year 400 to 360 BC this is a chariot scene crowning the Victorious charioteer so who's the person on the front this lady is is a arus a water nymph so is it real okay I have news it's absolutely genuine all the features line up it has great metal quality the strike is excellent how much money we got here uh $50,000 wow I might hug you Rick offers a price I'll give you 35 grand for it I mean 50,000 down to 35 we can meet in the middle somewhere I'll tell you what I'll give you 40 Grand anything more than that makes zero sense for me and 40,000 Fair okay all right cool man this is great A girl brings in a print made by a famous artist she doesn't know much about this is a mark shagal print that I have do you know who Mark shagal was sort of very famous painter you know the difference between like impressionism and post impressionism not really where'd you get it oh I have a wealthy aunt and she gave it to me but I just it doesn't go with the decor of my house Rick starts explaining to the girl some information regarding the print and the artist there's probably like two dozen artists in the world where you just look at their art go that's Picasso or Renoir chal is one of those people 500 years from now will still be talking about his paintings and they'll still be worth money if you ever get a chance to go to Paris Paris opera house painted the entire ceiling oh wow how what you want for it I don't maybe around $1,000 or so did you get any paperwork on it I don't have any paperwork Rick brings in an expert so it looks youal that is an image by shagal this is Captain Bri ais's dream in fact it's one of his most famous images this particular image is from a work called dhus and Khloe second century Greek poem it look very closely you're going to see a bit of a crease here this is a double panel so it's a little more valuable and it's the only double panel that was in the overall set the expert reveals how much it's worth what's it worth it's worth at least $88,000 awesome so you still want 1,000 bucks um no obviously I'll tell you what I'll give you three grand for it kind of low he just said it was eight what is your best price lowest 6,000 I'll give you four grand five $4,500 not a penny more I'll take 45 deal a guy brings in an antique sword that belonged to his grandfather do you know what it is I'm actually not too sure I know my grandfather got it at an auction it's got some very cool detail like the head of Medusa what looks like a lion right here oo that's nice careful it is sharp that's Arabic writing it's got Arabic on the blade it's got Russian writing right here I'm just kind of a little lost here without any idea of its value the owner makes an offer and how much are you looking to get I was looking for 40,000 I'd like to have someone come in and take a look at it I know this sword this is actually it's like a historically significant sword so this sword belonged to a Russian prince Ivan Ivanovich adki and he was killed at the Battle of Brian in France by Napoleon's troops wow this guy gets killed with this sword on him the expert takes it in his hands to examine closely this Arabic writing means it came out of Persia built with the intention of being like a head of state sword what kind of value do you think this has I would imagine you're talking 75 100,000 thank you for letting me see of course hearing everything ch needed he wants to negotiate on the price I'd buy it for 20,000 the problem is it's too big of a risk for me now that makes me think that I should find the right auction for it thanks for coming in I appreciate it after knowing the actual value on this sword kind of glad I didn't sell it a guy hands Rick and old coin to check got a 1922 proof High Relief matte finish coin where did you get this I wanted at a poker game believe this is like one of the Holy Grails of American coins the 1922 Hy Rel piece doar is one of the rarest coins in American history how much you want for it 20,000 what you want 20 for it yeah sure no problem let's go this is worth a lot more than 20 grand do you mind if I call a friend to take a look at this Rick absolutely wants it but he has to make sure if it's the real deal it's always nice to get called in on an exciting coin this coin is particularly interesting historical and it's rare as hen teeth these were more or less unknown and They carried over the high relief of the 1921 issue all of which by the way were stuck in a onewe period at the end of 1921 so I assume your main concern is is it real yeah it is an NGC holder which is wonderful the holder is completely intact and genuine and the coin is perfectly legitimate what's it worth one of these sold very recently that brought a touch over 100,000 this coin is worth something north of 50 but less than 100 Rick has no more concerns about the coin so let's find out if he makes a deal should just gave you the 20 grand and I called in Dave I'll give you $65,000 what about 90 I think 90 is fair you were willing to take 20 grand for it I think 75 is fair meet me in the middle at 80 and you got a deal it's a deal all right okay all right let's go up front I'll write you up Rick has shown a letter signed by Henry wodsworth Longfellow I have a photo of and letter by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is it a poem no it's a basically a letter this dear Madam whoever she was wrote to him for a photograph and some autographs to use in a fair and he's sending that to make some money for the fair Rick discusses the item he was really was a superstar back then when he passed away they put a um it was a statue or a bust or something like that I'm assuming this is all real the ink looks like from the period how much were you looking to get I was hoping to get like 300 bucks for it it wouldn't surprise me if this guy got hundreds of letters every day sometimes they would have a secretary write the letter or he might have done the whole thing himself this might have been went to a secretary you take care of those give me a couple I'll take care of those myself Rick calls in an expert it's got great potential and all honestly this guy's really sought after so I'm going to follow the signature along here kind of looks like it starts off pretty strong but the more I'm moving along here you see how it gets very faint towards the end so he's using a quill to write with n's running out of the qu no doubt about being gun here so that's one good sign okay the expert checks the item's authenticity is I want to pull up the examples that I have on file here you see yours very truly me we looking at live Inc it's all legit absolutely there's no question about it what do you think it's worth right around $505 $100 what you want for this I don't think $300 is going to do it for me 900 bucks for it I'll give you 700 bucks and I'm offering you more than double what you were asking yeah let's do 700 original GI Joe nurse Action doll comes through the shop I have a doll here that's gi. Joe actually from 1967 they're very rare she's the only female GI Joe doll that was ever made where did you get it an estate sale how much did you want for it I'd like about 2500 for the doll I don't know enough about this thing Rick calls in an expert this doll right here came out with a green medic bag and a white medic bag the white medic bag is the rare of the two which makes this one here more valuable this doll right now is it sits looking anywhere from 122 to $1,500 in today's market even with this white bag even with the white bag Rick negotiates the price pretty good shape but there's no box the holes in our stocking this is dirty I can understand it I'd like to get at least 1,000 I'll give you 600 bucks for it no how about nine I'll go seven on it how about eight I'll give you the eight for it all right right thanks a beautiful lady comes into to the shop to sell her Pottery duck we have a pottery duck from khma Mexico you know anything about ducks from khma Mexico um a little bit it looks old it looks like the pottery they made you know like a couple thousand years ago Rick shares some history regarding the item so I mean what do you think it was used for were you're supposed to drink out of it or something it's probably something ceremonial they truly believe that the animals after you passed away they would guide you to the next World what religion is the duck in probably an ancient religion that doesn't exist anymore some weird things have been happening around the house things like fall off the the shelves I hear weird noises the craftsmanship is amazing you can still see in the Kil burn marks and everything on the bottom so it went into a Kil like this and it came out with those beautiful finishes on it I mean how much you looking to get out of this about 4,000 it could be very very old but I'd like someone to look at it if you know why I don't know Rick decides to get an opinion from the expert 2,000 years ago they made animals to go into a tomb and they lay the body and they'd place these animals around they'd be companions they'd be Spirit guides but most of them were to be eaten in the afterlife it's got the burnishing lines so they would use a stone and they would polish this extensively before it would go in the Kil I see a repair here they're almost invisible so whoever restored this they did a fabulous job the valuation by the expert shocks Rick and the customer 100% real yeah 100% real 300 BC to 300 ad ancient so what's it worth 8,000 so you w 4,000 for it okay awesome please you want to go R her up all right I'll meet you up over there all right an old man brings in a Soviet Cold War era General's uniform got a Soviet Cold War era General's uniform so what are you a communist I I just like the uh that's very good I'm I like to get $900,000 well I could do $ 800,000 not 900,000 or or a, we're going to start at 900 okay you're tough I'll tell you Rick decides to bring in an expert most of these medals are post World War II you do have an order of lenen here right there the first one the order of lenen is the highest civil award for a contribution to the motherland this guy was not the military when he wore these uniforms because he was a member of the KGB the reason you can tell is they've got red pip in so this is not a guy you want to cross and make upset jackets I can probably tell you exactly when they were made look at the buttons they are often dated this says 76 more or less at the height of Soviet power Rick asks for an opinion on their value so what are they worth for the pair 650 to 750 that it seems to me that it would be a heck of a lot more than that makes me even want to get more money for it uniforms like this don't attract the excitement that for example World War II era uniforms attract thanks for coming in man hey Rick thanks appreciate it well I'm not really happy about it i' not be worth $1,000 at least give you 400 bucks for them and I think 400 bucks is a fair price I go 5 and 1/2 I'll tell you what I'll give you four and a quarter how about four 50 I mean I just don't know if they're going to sell um we'll do 450 man appreciate it all right he'll write you up leave me over there a customer brings in a guitar amplifier to the shop I've got a 1947 Moscow guitar amplifier uh belong to Hank Williams Senior the Hank Williams Senior the Hank Williams Senior father of country music and to me it's just amazing January 1 1953 gift of mother Miss ww Stone I'm wanting $450,000 for it doesn't even say it was Hank Williams amp on it right the expert comes in to test if it works I'm very nervous right now because I'd hate for it to not be authentic we got to plug it and make sure it works cuz that's going to affect the value of the amplifier making some [Music] noise some definite work it's immediately distorting that hum that it's making right now that means it needs capacitor really bad but it works the customer is left speechless after the expert's appraisal all right so do you think it's Hank if so how much is there any other proof or well on the inside it's it says number 133 of 254 yeah I mean the serial number really wouldn't the company doesn't exist no more so I doubt if there's record see my thing with it would be I could go to the mall or a trophy shop and get something like this made today and stick it in the yard for a week and then bolt it on any old amp it's not like you see tons of pictures of him Hank Williams Masco amplifier if it was Hanks it would probably be 30 grand but without any kind of definite proof that it's his the amp it probably worth 4 or 500 bucks if I'm going to ask six figures for that I'm going to need to see a lot of proof man there's none out there if I was making an offer on the way it sits right now it' be 200 bucks I'm going to go and keep it for that a guy walks in with a Spider-Man comic strip and wants to make a deal with Chum it's a Spider-Man comic strip from the 70s signed by Stan Lee I'm headed down to the Avengers station on the Strip right now to meet the one and only Stan Lee himself are you just cutting everyone sorry no all right you brought it Chum tries to negotiate on the price how much did you want for this I was looking to get 10,000 for it you know if he authenticates it as real I think I can pay you like 3500 for it Mary Jane in a bathtub come on I'll tell you what take it eight how about 4,200 I mean that's a lot of money and the snappy Banner from Stanley come at 5,000 you know even if I buy this from me I still have to get it authenticated all right if he says it's real I'll do 5,000 we'll do on a shake on a deal Chum will agree on a deal but needs an expert opinion first glad to see you what brings you into town oh well they hadn't seen me in a long time and I couldn't deprive the people of Las Vegas I had a quick question for you if you don't mind did I have this comic strip here wow oh this brings back memories John Rome drew it he's wonderful wondering if you remember if you notice that signature have a special lens here yeah yeah that's my signature oh no doubt about it you're a lucky guy hey well appreciate it it's a pleasure of seeing you good luck to you frame it Stanley has authenticated the piece 5,000 all right think we going to do and I've made my deal with Chumley a guy has a letter and he thinks that the signature is Winston Churchill I've got a letter and I think that this signature is Winston Churchill so where did you get this I bought a desk at an estate sale and it was in an envelope taped underneath a drawer uh thank you for your letter of November 3rd General Mark Clark has already sent me a copy of his book I hope you will forgive me but I do not feel I can write a forward as you suggest yours sincerely Winston Churchill Winston Churchill was one of the toughest leaders of the 20th century he basically told Hitler go yourself it's definitely done with the typewriter it's not done with the computer let me get the thing looked at by somebody who does know Rick wants to make sure it's legit so he brings in an expert so Rick what are your uh concerns regarding this uh letter is it real it's talking about another military man General Mark Clark and apparently he had written a book calculated risk this indicates that he's asking Wilson churchil to write an introduction for that book is a highquality British paper he takes a closer look at the signature to confirm its authenticity so do you think it's real it's a nice flowing signature so it looks like you have a real autograph signature here do you think that that would go for I think this letter would easily bring him $1,500 to $22,000 maybe a little bit more how much do you want for it so I'm thinking $700 fair price okay uh how about 900 um I'll meet you in the middle so you're talking 800 bucks 800 bucks okay 800 all right it's a deal guy brings in a set of guitars featuring some of the DC car Batman and Joker guitars this one is even more impressive Joker cool thing about The Joker Is it also has this little chip in it and if you push this button when it's all hooked up to amplifier you push that and the Joker Laugh what are you looking to get for him I want to get 15,000 for him this is a little out of my realm I got to tell you man it would make me a little more comfortable if I called A buddy of mine the offer made by the seller is out of Cory's realm so he calls in an expert John bowan see John bowlan I am wow looks like a couple of my guitars here I made these 26 years ago wow looks to me like they're unplayed this was to celebrate the Batman movie we did the Prototype and at that point we make a lot of guitars for easy top and the word got out to Billy that we were doing this and he was like oh I have got the perfect design for the joke kind of curious to hear the Joker Laugh I mean you're the guy to ask are they legit oh yeah yeah absolutely I really appreciate you coming down thank you very much he makes a point in his negotiation using a lowball offer so you wanted 15 ,000 bad news is I can't have uh John bowling give me the price of the guitars cuz he built them and I'm sure to him they're Priceless okay probably retail for about 7500 for the pair you want 15,000 I mean I I'll go 7500 for them I definitely would not sell them for $7500 but I really appreciate it man it was fun it was thanks so much in this video we have a gunm smoke brought in by a customer to be sold this was used in Gunsmoke in 1957 and 1958 Gunsmoke the TV show yes sir this whole the cartridges sit in the back this one has an extra two up front which makes it very unusual and rare in the late 50s it was the highest rated show on television the owner shows Rick the paperwork so it has the movie prop numbers on it yes sir these paperworks came directly from Steam brdge gun reyolds this holster was used on the series at that time Rick takes the gun in his hands to take a closer look why are you so nervous about just a prop gun why's it got a firing pin in it you need a firing pin to shoot blanks yeah if you try to put a bullet in this thing and fire it it would blow up in your hand right here a lot smaller than the holes in the back this gun won't fire at all how much do you want for it 1,200 you know I'm thinking more like 500 bucks I mean I have to resell this thing I need at least 800 for it 700 can we split the difference and go 750 700 d a seller walks into the shop to sell his illuminated books got uh some illuminated books biblic edition of The Works of Charles decock and I hope I'm saying that right where in the world is you get these an uncle book collector left them for me all the drawings and the paintings in the book are hand done they're not printed limited to 10 numbered registered set of which this is number six do you know when these were printed I believe in the 1700s copyright I mean the print's small but it looks like 1903 even though my book expert is not around today I still feel confident making an offer on Rick asks for an offer how much you want for $6,000 sounds good I can't go six you got to come down from that the problem is they were sold as collector's items to begin with how about 3,000 they're SP these aren't quite perfect 1,500 bucks H I don't think I can take that I'll go 2,000 I'll take it I'll take it all right I'll meet you right up there and we'll write it up an expert checks out the book They're illuminated books they're printed right around 19900 I paid a grand a piece for them wow this is beautiful that these Pages here these are all printed on Vellum and it is very very expensive very hard to work with takes a lot of skill and a lot of effort this is two volumes the 48 volume set and if you had all 40 volumes at auction you're looking at 50 Grand at least but you don't have the entire set the volumes themselves don't have a lot of value on their own so $500 each however these volumes have original artwork many people do know John Sloan he was an artist who did a lot of the drawings in here I'd say that they probably fetch 2500 to 4,000 at auction right sweet I didn't hit a home run but I'll make a little money when she said 500 bucks my heart skipped a beat customer walks in with a hefty load of silver Sil the old man is crazy about silver he's going to be like a kid on Christmas morning when he sees this if they want less than face value well we'll see what we can work out got these bars and this thing alone is almost 75b most people don't realize until 1964 all us dimes quarters half dollars silver dollars we're all made out of silver Rick wants to make sure they are all silver coins all right I just got to make sure you know it's all silver coin it's really important for me to scan all the edges on these to make sure there's no modern coins in here uh you mind if Pi go away I'm just to make sure the way right amount no problem so you have 3,372 o of silver in the late 1990s silver was down to $3 an O this one's going to be difficult to buy you know why when you're talking this much money there's too much temptation to put a bar of steel or something in the center so you're saying this might not be pure silver what I'm saying is there might be a chunk inside that's not pure silver can we test this thing um yeah drill a few holes in it give me a few minutes if everything checks out I'll pay you doesn't check out I'll give you an address where you can send it the process of testing these items is not difficult but interesting first off you have to drill deep enough to make sure there's not a Lead Core or some other metal in the middle of the bar then you melt down all the filings until they liquefy and you create a small button the last step is dropping some nitric acid on it and seeing what color it turns when nitric acid reacts with pure silver it turns a creamy white okay here's the deal yeah it's all right it's fine the coins 33,39 for these bars right here2 equals Rick does the calculations and offers a price $110,900 well let's make a deal that is the deal you can't go like15 no on $110,900 I'm probably going to make 1,500 bucks off you so what's your best price you give me today I'll go 111,000 even I'll go up 112 no no no there's no money to be made for it yeah I mean that's what I can do I can do um 111,000 well I bought it 12 years ago for way less than that 111 sounds good to me all right it's deal1 today I'm walking out with over $100,000 Rick shipped a golf oil sign to a restoration point I bought this amazing Gulf oil sign this was an absolutely fabulous find I had it shipped directly to Rick Dale to get restored it's an old rusted outside I literally found this in a metal storage container in the back of this Army Surplus place what' you pay to ship this thing it was like 1,200 bucks to ship it where are we going to put it ask Rick if I got a great deal they discuss its potential value are these things collectible the sign is collect period but to make it worth its weight in gold this is a fine what' you pay for this I paid 1,500 for the sign yeah no he stole I'm mean at like less than $3,000 it's got a lot of pitted rust it looks like it fell and it just ripped the frame up the frame is going to have to be rewelded and fixed how much you think it's going to be about 10,000 the cooler I can make this thing the faster I can sell it is it going to wreck my budget if I put neon on it's not going to destroy your budget they discuss on the repairs do you want to do the dark blue like this you're the guy okay look at this thing with neon look how big it is I got the stand I got the pole I got everything everything it's like literally found a holy grail of garage sides and how much thing I get for it with the pole lit up I'd say 25 Grand see Arc of the Covenant look at this thing this is great you'll realize I am a genius Rick and Cory go to check on it I can't wait to show you it's pretty cool I mean they just don't make stuff like that anymore they would never go to the trouble to Candle it outside like that what I did on this side this is not your original side so I bought a an an old sign and I cleaned it up as best as I could I cleared it so now you've got two sides that's an original on that side then we're going to look at the other side all right well let's look at the other side oh that is an absolutely amazing I'm in a time machine right now yeah how much can I get for this beauty you think I'd say 25 I think I get 25 grand out of I almost feel like you just replaced it with a brand new sign point my man I appreciate it all right I'll get you paid to uh take care of it yep all right I guarantee you I will get $25,000 for this a week after I put it on the internet this is lit a man brings in a movie poster uh a movie poster I just want you to take a look at oh I'm getting excited I have a autograph piix movie post got about 13 autograph signatures on it this is absolutely amazing one of my favorite movies of all time I truly believe this is Quint Tarantino's best movie okay so it looks like everybody signed it to have this many autographs on it's pretty amazing Bruce Willis John Travolta Samuel Jackson how much were you looking to get out of it, 1500 Rick decides to seek an expert's opinion is there any idea how many are out there it's not a very big number actually a couple years ago I saw one without any signatures on go for over $6,000 so is this the real deal so where the reproduction comes up short and I mean that literally is in is in the length has to be 40 in tall see we're coming in just a hair under 40 and so that raises some concerns the other is in the image her chest has a printers error in the reproduction that it's white specks and unfortunately sir I see some white specks here in her chest so this is a reproduction of the poster okay we even get you a $5 milkshake another expert comes in to inspect the poster if you the entire cast assembled on this poster you'd be looking at $155,000 or more uh everything's in different pen I have no idea if it's legit or not I want to take a look at just the autograph comparison Samuel Jackson straight through beautiful autograph I'm not seeing that there um John Travolta John Travolta is quick to the point SC once again I'm not seeing the correct letter formations here Tim Roth kind of just flies through it someone looks like they're trying to mimic that here it's pretty obvious that whoever did this had no idea what even some of the signatures even look like so none of them are real absolutely not somebody putting this together there's no doubt in my mind that one guy just signed all these so sorry uh better luck next time it's been a long day I think we're going to have a Roy ala cheese a cigar box that might have once decorated the Oval Office enters the shop Kennedy's cigar box he used in the White House and inside are the remaining unsmoked cigars I'm asking $95,000 so where did you get it Mrs Lincoln as personal secretary befriended a man named Robert White and she gave quite a few items to to Robert White so I made a private deal with the white estate to buy some of the items Rick takes a closer look for more details this is the auction catalog there is a picture in here the box contains 11 handrolled cigars wrapped in clear plastic eight there's a few missing so someone smoked three of the cigars that's how I got it how much are you asking well as you know the other comparable one went for a million bucks or so Rick asks for an offer and tries to negotiate I'll give it to you for 95,000 I think the auction estimate was 100 and it didn't meet it I'll give you 50 Grand that's cash right now 70 what do you think son I wouldn't pay more than 50 Grand pops I'll go 60 all right it's all on you I'm out 65 and you got a deal 60 Grand I'll give you 30 Now give me the rest of the paperwork I'll give you the other 30 got it man all right Rick receives a call from his friend who repairs helicopters and his customer wants to sell one so this is it huh no actually this is it it's all there yeah I know you said it was in a crash but looks like a pil of junk to me it was just involved in hard Landing did the pilot die in this thing the pilot and passenger are both fine so why in the world did you buy this in the first place I wanted a challenge I thought it would be fun to be able to buy it and rebuild it myself just didn't work out I don't have the finances to to rebuild it I just don't think I can do anything with this this is much worse than anything Larry told me about an expert in this field comes to answer Rick's questions what kind of helicopter is this the model number is a schwier 300C now this aircraft was originally designed for the military and they did all of the flight training in the Army uh with this actually designed to crash and be able to be fixed in the field this whole front cab I can typ ially rebuild within about 2 to 3 weeks so did the motors survive the crash they did these pulleys these are $20,000 a piece these are all okay the expert states that the helicopter could be fixed and gives Rick an idea of the costs so how much would it be just to rebuild the whole thing estimate would be 100,000 I I just don't see where there's any money to be made the retail value of this is about 150,000 bought this off the insurance company for $10,000 so that's what I'm looking to get out of it I mean I can't really afford to take anything less than 10 all right 10,000 that's a deal man thank you thank you very much even if I don't fix it up I can always sell it for parts and I can make like 5 grand when the repairs are finished Rick goes to check the helicopter this thing looks amazing it's like a real helicopter a month ago this thing was a scrap Heap basically everything on here had to be rebuilt it just took time and uh you know uh knowing how to do it so I think I've made the $100,000 Mark you were looking for so how much you think I can sell for now it probably sell for about 160 to [Music] 175,000 a guy comes to the back of the shop with a unique car and Rick goes out to check you got to be kidding me Delby GT350 Gone in 60 Seconds the movie This is the real thing not a clone huh the real deal this is it only 1175 made total Rick explains why it's a unique car and takes a look inside there was right around a 100 modifications Shelby did to make the GT 350 it improved its performance its handling and its style got 62,000 original miles on the car and uh he signed the glove Fox so how much I to get out of it my asking on the car is 125,000 I'm going to call up a buddy of mine have him come down here and help me figure out the price not sure if it's legitimate Rick asks for an offer and calls in an expert for help what really makes the difference right now is the test [Music] drive you can drive a Porsche for the price of this car back there the test drive was awesome man it's a solid car what do you think it's worth I'd say anywhere between 100 to 110,000 bucks thanks so much see you buddy I'm not going to negotiate I will give you 100 Grand there's no money past 100 Grand 105 no I'm actually going to go not one dime more you got a deal let's go do some paperwork Rick receives a call from a man to check on some hard rock photographs from a hotel that was recently closed down so here it is wa that's absolutely amazing the Hard Rock Hotel here in Vegas was probably considered like the coolest hippest hotel maybe in the world Rick takes a closer look at the pictures okay Deborah Harry absolutely Blondie I'm assuming this is kiss of Japan yes is that Michael Jackson these are unpublished limited edition prints by Neil Preston and what's this over here so this is actually collage also by Neil Preston about Le Zeppelin this is him on tour for seven years with these guys but then this Rick this is the Holy Grail of the entire collection Freddy Mercury he was like no other singer of the world ever SE so you acquired all this from the Hard Rock I did I have 50 pieces and how much do you want I want 150,000 for them I want to call some money down to take a look at these Rick decides to call an expert mean right down at the bottom it says 13 of 15 so there was only 15 of these made and this is number 13 correct and I personally signed it and wrote his name and where it was shot and everything and it's the real deal I brought you a copy of my new Queen book just to show you there's the famous shot Michael Jackson these were hanging at in the Hard Rock in one of the restaurants and they're the only prints that I ever made from those frames and these pictures were shot at the famous Jackson family compound those are the only ones in existence that is correct everything is completely legit and check all the boxes Rick wants a second opinion he wants $150,000 o for 50 pieces what do you think these by themselves if they're in good condition these could easily be $40,000 so this is a platinum print it is the rarest print it's the most complicated to make 68,000 not a problem so if I buy all of these 50 pieces probably sell them within a year I'd say that's fair how much you think I'll get retail all of this together retail 200,000 Rick offers a price let's come up to 130 most of the stuff I got to reframe 95 how about 100 well I guess I'm going to pay 100 Grand then thank you so much Rick and Chum come to check on an Infamous white Bronco the OJ Bronco never seen anything quite like this sort of weird cuz OJ and his friend what was his name ac they both had identical Bronco but this is the one everyone knows thing of them is car chase and OJ's actually got destroyed right correct I own the white Ford Bronco the murders were June 12 OJ was supposed to turn himself in on the morning of the 17th he didn't I've been offered $500,000 to the Bronco I turned it down so here it is so how did you get this thing at the time of the Bronco Chase I was OJ's agent OJ's agent shares some details which we probably didn't know three or four things in the past like 30 years everyone remembers where they were at when the Challenger crashed everyone remembers where they were at on 911 and everyone remembers what they were doing when they saw the OJ Chase so this is like an early '90s Bronco yeah ' 92 low mileage how many miles on it about 36,000 so is that the same license plate that was on it when oh yeah pull up photos you'll see AC sitting here and then this license plate in fact same frame holder and you're looking to sell this thing yeah I'd like to obviously you drove it in here it runs good and why don't you take it for a drive I get the back seat Rick and Chum take to the freeway for a drive on the phone with the police he like negotiated I want to go see my mom where were you at during the CH oddly enough I was behind the Bronco by about maybe 400 yard right behind all the cops the helicopters amazing it was very sural no I'm definitely intrigued the problem is putting a value on this thing is almost impossible there hasn't been another one that is sold a tough moment comes from for Rick let's see how the deal goes how much you want for this a million three it's a one of a kind yeah worldwide more people have seen this vehicle than any other vehicle on Earth I mean this thing like I said massively iconic car you know I mean rarely do you see a 92 Bronco in this shape but it also has that bad stuff associated with it it's a lot of money okay I could drop down to a million 250 you might get that or even more at auction I'm going to pass on it okay with something like this is so much of a gamble because there's nothing to compare it to its price I'll never sell the Bronco for under a million dollars I know it's worth we see Rick in the middle of the desert searching for something so I'm in the middle of the desert in search of a tank for the Shop's lot apparently there's an authetic Sherman tank for sale so are we close almost there that's it right there that's the sermon let's check out that tank and learn more about it holy the tank that got are looking at right now is an M4 A3 Sherman it's the only Sherman tank in private hands that was actually used in the Pacific Theater real Marines jumped into during uima um it was finally taken out of service when they hit the turret at the turret bearing we met the gentleman who had to back it out still alive today when they raised the flag on M sarashi I mean it's probably the most iconic photo of all of World War II there seems to be a problem with it well guys there's a major problem with this tank it's made out of wood you know what that's for the Japanese had magnetic mindes sticky mindes that they would run up and stick to the side of a tank Marines had to improvise and put wood paneling on the side to protect themselves and everything works inside every everything works Rick wants to personally test the Tank's functionality before making any decisions how much you want for this like I'm looking to get a million and a half but we get to drive it you can drive it and you can shoot it the guy's asking $1.5 million that kind of money I'm thinking about it but before I do anything I'm going to have to fire it wish me luck let's see what it can do before moving to negotiations that was amazing that was awesome nice job R the door of that car was up for like 4 seconds what do you think Alex speaks for itself Shermans are the most desired American tank from World War II fire as well one that we know of that sold in the last year that wasn't documented to be at any major battle was sold for 1.2 million so at 1.2 million I I think that's a fair price it's amazing it's got amazing history everything about it it's absolutely great but uh i' so out of the ballpark for me but I really really appreciate the day it's been an unbelievable day thanks man amazing day a man brings in bills from the 19th century I've got some of the bills from the 19th century what you have here is education money to like fund education or no it was just to educate people about beautiful works of art you're getting married in a month I spent $7,500 on this if I don't get my money back I'm going to have one pissed off fiance it's like one of the few bills where Martha Washington's on it if you lived in a rural community you would never get to see B there were no nearby museum so they figured hey let's put them on money there's 70 different grades of a piece of paper money the grade on these things is so important this is worth anywhere from like $200 to $25,000 depending on the condition of it an expert arrives to provide further detail these are silver certificates from 1896 and this one is the $1 note this is history educating youth history is going to educate us on the back George and Martha the $2 note we've got science electricity and steam in this one we've got civil war heroes Grant Sheridan and I thought this was just a bunch of naked women on a bill the $1 note we got a centerfold right here he continues discussing their potential value this notes worth $700 $2 notes got a horizontal fold this notes $2,500 this notes got a very Light Center fold this note is worth $7,500 thanks letter anytime take care buddy how much you want for him I'm thinking 10 grand I'm thinking 8 Grand risk I took is just worth more to me than $500 I'll let you make 1,000 bucks off me and not a dime more $88,500 is it period you got to think man 1,000 bucks is a good profit on a complete gamble you know what for $11,000 this lady is looking to sell a very unusual gun it's a desk but it's not really a desk it's actually a gun when you push down on the ink well a bullet fires out through the trap door I have no idea how much it's worth I just really am curious if I sell it that's fine if I don't I'm okay with that too I got it in an estate sale I was just looking for a nice little desk to put a guest book on had a really good look inside it and said you know this isn't a desk this is a gun never seen a desk as a gun I just don't get it I mean you're really not going to stop anybody if you shoot them in the thigh with a all 22 like that the bullet is not going to come out with a lot of power I have never seen one before I have I only buy guns that are made 1898 and back the problem I have here is I don't know the date this thing was made Rick is amazed but he needs the help of an expert I really want this desk it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen so where's the gun this is the gun what press there there's the trigger you ever seen one I've never seen this what is the practical application that's that's what's going through my head I don't see one myself I've never seen anything like this it could have been even just a oneoff or maybe a movie prop I don't know how old this thing is the barrel is so tiny but it's open-ended could shoot a projectile the expert has some news for this customer and what to do it's one to have a gun but now you have a concealed weapon because it's a hidden gun any kind of markings on the firing mechanism there was the beginnings of a patent number it said patent one it looks to be in that 1890s to about 1910 it's not worth the risk you'd have to bring it to a gunsmith and have him professionally deactivate the mechanism I'd love to do that then that's what I'll do I wish I could help you out more it's just one of those things thanks for bringing it in oh you're welc a cold war item has Rick amazed this is known as a infrared heat seeker for The Sidewinder missiles I'm coming down to the pawn shop to sell my infrared heat Seekers but there's a lot of collectors out there would love to own one uh no we've never had a guidance system for a missile we used to guide the side wer missiles so where did you get this thing well my father used to do military surplus bidding in ' 70s and ' 80s he bid on empty shipping containers 400 of them sealed bid he won it for $25 as he's loading them into the truck he noticed some were heavy and these were inside do you have paperwork from the Department of Defense he saying you can own this thing yes and this is all from the Department of Navy it looks like it's good to go in 1964 this was so Hightech it was unbelievable is this thing what she says it is or if it's legal to buy what the hell you going to do with it I mean are they worth any money I mean let me go give someone a call I know what's going on with it great the expert is left amazed I'm a US Marine Corps fa18 pilot with 17 years of experience now this is a very interesting item I'm really surprised that you own this do you have documents that say that you can have this it's actually a A9 heat seeker head very rare to have that outside of a military base let alone in a pawn shop in Las Vegas this item is basically the top foot and a half of a 9-ft heat seeking missile uh probably came out early 1960s this was leading technology he has some more unbelievable news but also some bad news uh back in the 1960s actually this missile was compromised a year later the Communists had the exact same missile so that Advantage we had initially in Vietnam was gone by the late 1960s so you're not like like a Russian spy or anything are you it's in good shape on a 1 to 10 scales a fighter pilot I'd give it about a nine Rick goes into negotiations and gets the better out of the deal really commercial value nothing I'll be honest with you thanks man you bet I appreciate you coming out good to see you so how much are we looking to get out of this about $33,000 no I'm thinking 500 bucks you don't think this is worth more with 750 is out of the question 750 is out of the question I'll go 550 bucks okay well we have more I'll take by 50 okay even if I don't sell it I'm just as happy having it sit on my we have a customer with a mass destruction item I think I have the deadliest item that's ever walked through your door what is it it's a Russian ICBM launch key seriously it would launch a thermal nuclear weapon I usually describe them as the keys to the end of the world as we know it how much do you want for them somewhere along the lines of 10,000 my concern is is how simple they look I could make these in my garage out of aluminum so I called in my buddy Mark to authenticate Rick has his friend Mark come in and take a look these are nice they're launch have you ever worked with titanium but if you made this out of titanium you've got a bigger garage than anyone that I know a lot of folks tend to think that they were used for like icbms and nuclear missiles and that sort of thing but no they were used for launching spacecraft okay so they're still probably a pretty rare item yeah they they are rare because there were a lot more ICBM keys out there Rick still wants the item so they get into a negotiation war with the customer now that I know what these things really are I got to admit I want them you know I would give you like $1,500 for them5 00 huh okay um I'll keep it okay well thanks thank you up next we have a customer with a very unique War item I came down to the pawn shop today to try to sell my World War II grenade I really have no idea what it's worth it's super rare so hopefully it's worth a lot well there's no um boomy stuff inside of it so what do you know about it it was either made by the OSS or the CIA 60 years ago well you got a lot of balls for buying a grenade and then taking it apart I've never seen a design like this the only thing I know is ekc means Eastman Kodak company let me call it Tony down at the gun store until I get it checked out I have no idea what it's worth Rick needs some help so he calls in Tony this is a grenade that was made for the OSS it was the 4Runner to CIA this would normally be filled with TNT this screws on this like that and then this goes in like this 43 people were injured during the testing three people died how much did you pay $5 you did real good good so I got some gas money coming out you got you got car money coming it turns out Rick has something a very one-of-a-kind item in his hands the last time I saw one of these for sale was in 2007 and it's sold for over $2,000 thanks for coming in Tony I appreciate it this thing is beyond cool and I definitely want the damn thing so how much do you want for it well um I'm thinking 16 now you can do that all right let's go WR it up sounds good psyched I got this grenade it was a great find it doesn't get any cooler than this counterfeit documents confiscated during World War II are brought into the shop by a lady these are counterfeit documents that were confiscated from a Nazi spy during World War II my grandfather was a really big World War II collector I'm hoping to get about $88,000 believe it or not we did not have an actual Spy Service before World War II Franklin delanor Roosevelt created the oss the office of strategic Services I think this is like possibly counterfeit documents from the Germans how much did you want for these uh I was hoping for 8,000 I give you 4,000 for them Cory recommends Rick to call an expert but Rick negotiates the price instead how do you know that the fake stuff is actual real fake stuff I got this on would you take 4,000 for it how about six I'd pay you 5,000 for it it sounds good thanks I actually know some higher up I made some phone calls now I'm going to go to an undisclosed location hopefully they can give me some good news this is going to be really cool and a little scary are you Rick I'm Rick welcome to CIA I have some documents I think are associated with the OSS I'd love for you to take a look at them these are them I believe these are counterfeit IDs and I think some of the stuff was counterfeit by the Germans maybe the Americans were working on stuff so can you authenticate this stuff they look very real but as a government official I can't authenticate these artifacts the head of the osss research and development program I created a scrapbook highlighting all the best counterfeit items that the OSS did the CIA Museum director opens a book to compare the documents all sort of similar to here you've got a registration certificate ific so these are the type of pocket litter as it's called that you would want to have in order to make it look like you really belong there that type of person was going to be very valuable for someone who's going to go overseas and be able to do these uh secret missions so at this point I'm pretty secure in my feeling that this was counterfeit stuff from the bad guys this customer has a few parchments detailing a soldier's career and everything he achieved during his military duty these are eight different parchments signed by different presidents following the career of one soldier from second Lieutenant to Brigadier General okay we have Lieutenant Colonel Zander theore Roosevelt long with William T being Secretary of War RI takes a closer look at the documents who was this guy uh this was uh Lorenzo w Cook second lieutenant in 1866 you just have a lot of paperwork here this one's neat Chester A Arthur 1883 seems like the guy moved up pretty far through the ranks in the military to actually get to the position of General is pretty rare which makes an interesting story and that can be a big selling point to collectors so how much do you want for the stuff I was thinking about 10 to 12,000 do you mind if I have someone look at all Rick calls in an expert which one of these signatures are real which aren't a lot of these were signed by secretaries when you look at the uh Roosevelt Theo Johnson the main thing I'm looking for here is how the characters are formed especially if it's a secretarial signature the characters will be similar to the original but not quite the same one of these signatures is not real which one the Andrew Johnson John notoriously hurt his hand a couple months into his president and he started using a stamp the expert checks if they are real if you look really closely there you can see the way that the ink is attaching to the paper so this here is stamped the good news is that all the rest of them are real cool what do you think they're worth if you have it as a group it tells a story gr is worth a th000 by itself the Teddy Roosevelt is worth about 750 by itself together with you can be looking to up to $10,000 all right well thanks girl you're the best I will give you 5 grand about 65 how about 5 grand 62 if you want the 5 grand I Got 5 grand deal all right a customer comes into the shop to sell a historical document of a man who helped develop the atomic bomb historical document of a gentleman that helped develop the atomic bomb the certificate is awarded an appreciation in his work essential to the production of the atomic bomb Loopsy he worked with magnetics and some amplifications so it was a really brilant scientist Rick asks for an offer how much you offer it um I'd like to get $1,100 for it's really cool like I said historical certificant but I give you 100 bucks for it I'd be willing to take a th000 for it not going to happen what's the most you can give 100 bucks I understand I appreciate it have a good one man all right thank you a lady brings some old documents from the Pentagon I have old documents from the Pentagon from 1972 to early 1973 you weren't a spy or anything were you not at all where did you get these at a yard sale what are they I don't know a lot about them there's all kind of information about Vietnam there's information about the Olympics this is USSR International Affairs Vietnam developments sounds like stuff they wouldn't want like the media to know about it if you look on almost every page uh Lieutenant Colonel Morgan is written on each page who we think these were given to not supposed to be taking volumes of paper from Pentagon and bringing them home I mean I don't know if you're allowed to have these let me call someone down here and find out what the deal is with Rick decides to call an expert to summarize what's in them what concerns do you have about them are they rare and are they legal to own okay these are in fact daily reports what these were for was to allow people who were interested within the Pentagon to know what was being said in foreign markets what's interesting here is this is the scops copy the psychological Operations Division the person that was getting this was Doc the deputy director of operations for counterinsurgency and special Affairs it's openly available today yes they're legal do so they're not se but you know they're not the sort of thing that a lot of people would collect it's not rare you can go to the library and look up and read everything on every one of the pages they're not rare they're not collectible and it's all public knowledge wouldn't want to make an offer on them I just don't see no money here at all thank you very much have a nice day Rick is the first one to see this document from a kidnapping case I've got some papers and documents from the Lindberg kidnapping case it was the crime of the century you're the first one to see this since the early 1940s it's a picture of the baby picture of the ransom note so where did you get these these were willed to my grandmother the investigator some details on how the kidnapping was conducted are shared by Rick and the customer his little boy was kidnapped right around 10:00 at night a nanny went up to the room the kid was gone ladder going up to the wind weeks after the kidnapping they ended up finding the baby's body the kidnapper took the child killed the kid immediately or when he was coming down the lad he dropped the kid the kidnappers wanted $50,000 and even though it was paid there was no sign of the Lindberg baby Brun they traced the money back to they found some of the ransom money in his house he ended up getting the death penalty for it most criminals are pretty stupid Beyond just records this guy seems to have actual evidence from the case itself there's original Ransom notes and actual nails from the Hopman house let me have someone look at all this stuff Rick seeks help from an expert is it real from what I'm seeing here looks to me that that this is all legitimately Leon hoy's uh papers but is this like collectible certainly there'd be researchers who would love this kind of stuff thanks how much did you want for it I have no idea for once in my life I'm overwhelmed with something I would give you $11,000 and I am just taking a complete shot in the dark would you go 2,000 no 1,500 would be it if I was to shop around a little bit offer will stand boy I I think I'll just pass on sorry we couldn't make a deal then I don't think $1,500 is that much money in this day and age it could up next we have a Japanese weapon from World War II came to the pawn shop today tried to sell my Japanese and knee mortar I'd really like to get 2,000 for it my dad served her in World War II and he brought some stuff back that I always had an eye on this was responsible for quite a bit of Carnage it's got a lot of history behind it and that's what World War II collectors want there been demilitarized after the war cut here in the barrel and then if you look in the front end you can see that there's a bar that's been welded across there as well okay so what did you want to do with it I'd like to sell it okay and how much did you want for it I'd like to get $2,000 Rick is interested however he needs an expert to help him I know absolutely nothing about the value of this thing I got a buddy who knows about all the stuff built in 1929 this was a very very deadly weapon main thing you'll find with a mortar a big heavy base plate guys would run up on the field they'd get down they would hit it into the dirt scoop it back they drop a grenade in and then they would pull this trigger and off it would go are they legal to own the answer is yes this is 100% legal to own so what's it worth let me evaluate the piece four digits so it's an early production piece uh which makes it more valuable people will ask crazy money for it oh $5,000 it's but uh in reality when these things do trade 2000 if I was selling it I'd ask $ 1995 the negotiations begin but will Rick be able to convince the customer and this is one of those rare items that doesn't come up too often I'd give you like 1,00 bucks for it that's a little low I think could you go 1,500 no because I'm thinking that's probably close to what I'm going to get out of it I'll go 1,200 and I won't go no more I mean 1,200 bucks I think think is more than a fair price 1,300 I'll meet you in the middle at 1250 sold okay I'm comfortable with a $1,250 I can use that money well in my collection they got a very good piece this incredibly detailed antique pistol has Rick amazed pirate pistol of some kind I am at the pawn shop today to try and sell my antique pirate pistol I am hoping to get at least $50,000 for my antique pistol how did you get it um my father collected Firearms Rick is not sure how much the pistol is worth so he calls up an expert to know more about it so how much you look to get out of it I'm thinking 50,000 I have a buddy who really specializes in antique firearms like this absolutely I'd love to know more about it the expert is impressed and shares his knowledge this is beautiful I would call this a Caucasian pistol this would be called the miget lock a miget lock has the main springs on the outside of the lock the traditional flint lock the main springs on the inside all this silver is hand etched do you have idea of how old it was I think it's the turn of the 19th century because of the silver because of the fire gilding this is one of the highest Detail full Caucasian pistols I've ever seen they decide to put it to test and are you able to know if this gun would fire or not there's no question it would fire and it's one of the nicest examples I've ever seen I would love to see it fired I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we can actually fire this gun the result is very impressive so for a Target I set up this pin wheel thing all right Tracy if you come on this side of me so nobody's downrange in the muzzle so I'm going to pull back on this hammer and I'm going to let it go we ready and that's a day off I mean that went about as well as it could possibly go all right so the big question is how much is it worth if it were mine I wouldn't sell it for less than 15,000 thanks man I really appreciate it all right so what do you want for it obviously 50,000 is not going to happen how about 14 I mean just that makes z00 Z sense I mean the most I would go was $10,000 not a penny more I'm going to say no for now and kind of just think on it thank you so much for your time I no problem this customer brings in a very sharp item these are my Freddy Krueger fingers didn't they used to kill tigers with those I came to the pawn shop today to try and sell what I believe is a scissor catar I'd like to get about $500 for it at first I thought it was like maybe a World War I bayonet or something but uh could use it in one hand like catch a a sword or something like that and you can stab him with it too I don't see it as a real realistic weapon I mean this metal is very thin can be bent really easy as the conversation goes on both parties seem to know a lot about the item but is the value of the item a jaw-dropping one I think someone really prized it at one time so what do you want to do with I want to sell it I'm assuming I'm going to get 100 bucks out of this thing
