COREY: Hey, how it going, man? JARED: Good. So I got this for you. COREY: Yeah, I-- I
get a lot of people who bring stuff like this in. Man, I know it looks old,
but it's still just worth $1. JARED: But this one's
signed by former President Ronald Reagan and Walt Disney. COREY: Oh, wow. Sorry about that. [cash register dinging] JARED: I purchased the dollar
bill at a private auction. I believe the dollar to be
signed in the early 1950s. I'm going to be
asking for $4,300. I want to sell it because I've
had it for a little while, and I just feel like it's
time to move on from the item, and somebody else
could appreciate it no. COREY: This is really cool. So do you know any of
the story behind it? JARED: Ronald
Reagan was the emcee for the opening of Disneyland. And with the date of
the bill, I believe it to be from that
time, but you know, I can't say with
100% confidence. COREY: God, it would be
really cool if you had some kind of proof for that. JARED: Oh, I know, right? COREY: Mind if I
take a look at it? JARED: Absolutely. OK, that looks like it could
be Walt Disney's signature. JARED: Ronald Reagan actually
signed the back as well, so-- COREY: OK. So what are you looking
to do with it, man? Well, you know, I'm
looking to sell it. All right. Any idea what you're
looking to get out of it? JARED: I mean, I'm looking to
get probably $4,300 for it. COREY: All right. Do you mind if I have
somebody come down and verify the signatures? I mean, they're pretty
sloppy and faded on there. I'd just like to make
sure they're real before I even made you an offer. That would be fine. I totally understand.
- All right. I'll be right back.
JARED: Thank you. [music playing] I'm absolutely looking forward
to an expert coming in, because I think it will
be good to have somebody with skill to evaluate
the signatures, and tell me if it's authentic. The guy's asking for a
decent amount of money, so before I make
an offer, I called up Steve to come check it out. So we got a silver certificate
signed by Walt Disney, and Ronald Reagan twice. I'm assuming they had
to be in the same place at the same time, and a guy
had a $1 bill in his pocket. That's usually the
most common thing, like, especially back in '40s, '50s,
'60s, people would say, uh, what do I have in my pocket? Money. So they'd get you to sign the
$1 bills, sometimes you know, $100 bill.
It depends how you roll. [chuckling] So what are your concerns? COREY: I can tell that
the signatures are not the greatest, and
then other than that, man, I have no idea what
combined they could be worth. OK, cool. So the first thing
I'll do, Corey, I want to look at the
examples that I have on file, both these guys. The first one I'm going
to look at is Reagan. Reagan used a myriad
of secretaries. You know, he's in
movies, politics. What I do look for
is this last name, and especially I take a
look at right here, this g, and how he forms it. And he gets pretty
lazy with it almost, and he just kind of drags it
down and brings it back up. So we're kind of seeing
that again there. Next one is Disney. The thing I always look
for with Disney's signature is just this beautiful,
flowing autograph. First thing I want to look for
are the transition points here. And I'm starting to
see that a little bit, but I have to be
honest with you, it's really difficult to see
here what was going on here. Could the crease have
been there before? Because you could see a
slight interruption here. Look at his D right
here, and we're seeing the same
type of overlapping, we're seeing the same
structure and form. Based on everything I've
seen, Disney matches perfect, the Reagan from the
period matches perfect. No doubt signatures
are authentic. COREY: OK. And since they're both on the
same bill, what is it worth? STEVE: OK, with that
said, condition's not great on this
piece, but I still think it's pretty unique to
have the two of them together. I'd put this value
right at about $3,000. COREY: OK.
All right, man. I appreciate it.
STEVE: Cool. - Good to see you, man.
- Yeah. Good luck.
- Yeah. STEVE: There's no doubt when
you mix two iconic names like Disney and Reagan
together, it's going to end up being a good buy. Now, what do you
have to sell that to? You have to find
that niche collector that wants to buy a piece
signed by both of them together. COREY: All right, so it's legit,
and my guy's saying I could probably sell it for $3,000. So I would pay, like, $1,800. I mean, I really think my
$4,300 is actually pretty fair. COREY: Would you go $2,200. You're killing me with that. [inhaling through teeth] COREY: That's the best I can do. I think I'll have
to decline that. COREY: All right,
man, well, offer stands if you want to come
back with it, all right? I appreciate it. Thank you. I'm passing on $2,200 because
I just think that it will bring a lot more than that. What I'll do with the dollar
now is probably frame it up, get a picture of the
two, and you know, hope I can find that one person
to pull the trigger on it.
