Yep, he acted like a jerk, trying to play hardball with Rick. Market value is what the market is willing to give you for it, end of story. If you think it's worth more than anyone is willing to pay you for it, then don't sell. This isn't rocket science.
@@SSS-bd6li That's right. And to remind the relevancy, it's not at the first place that Jane could think of. This is the same guy who tries to sell $50 Morgan dollars for $1000 on eBay after marking it down $600 and calling that 60% off. He calls himself an author because he wrote a pamphlet directing people to his coin store. He gives you a certificate of authenticity with every purchase. He has a huge inventory, but he sells it for 10x what it's worth. What he was asking for here is almost reasonable.

of course it is, the real question is to what extent. i'd say, people submit what they wanna sell and they expert, that are real experts that lie around the shop/las vegas area, do their research when its filming time. or did you think they just wait with cameras all day waiting for someone to show to pawn sth interesting and then call the expert and expect he or she knows absolutely everything regarding value? WOW
@Keith M That's besides the point. I saw experts complaining about fingerprints while examining the items bare handed. I think everything comes down to the item and not the location.
Lord Bunbury are you sure? There are hundreds of thousands of ancient coin collectors around the world, myself included. Plus, this coin is exceedingly rare, even for an early Roman denarius. Remember he said ~30 days before his death? That means that they were only made for about a month, as coinage cannot be produced with a dead emperor on it, with few exceptions (this isn’t one).
A coin that was made over 2,000 years ago and belonged to one of the most influential and most powerful empires in human history and it's only worth 1,000 dollars is ridiculous.
Indeed, and because they were so influential (spanned from europe to the middle east and the top of africa) those coins are quite prevelent. They don't have demand going for them. Especially in the crappy condition it was in.
Roman coins are very , very easy to find in low grade and turn up all the time. I'm surprised it was even worth $1500. Just because something is old does not make it valuable. You can buy lots of 1st century Roman coins for under $100.
I'm kind of amazed that something that old would be valued so low. However, it apparently is more common of a coin than you would think compared to other coins on that era, also the condition is an issue. I'd buy the thing for 1500-2000 just because it's so cool
Let me call someone and I’ll tell him you’re asking $4,400 so he can appraise it lower than that. I don’t know why people say exactly the amount they want. I’d ask for 15k so Ricks expert can say 8-10k.
Clearly he doesn't, but he does care about money as do pretty much every person alive even if they deny it. So finding someone who appreciates that historical value is in his best interest
The coin is not in great shape. It looks quite worn. Look on eBay, 1500 seems quite fair based on its condition. The only ones that go north of 3000 are in good shape
This is extreme wear for even this coin. I found one with the dictator part still fully visible going for 15.5k after a price reduction. And it seems like this coin is pretty readily available as far as collecters coins go in the heavy wear to decent condition range. In fact there was quite a few results for this coin in much better condition in the 30-55k range and some semi decent (which isn't something I would ever use for this particular coin after seeing the online results) coins in the 5-15k range. This coin also is one of the more abundant one's from that time. The one one in near mint condition I could find seems to be one in a Australian museum with very little wear (which is also just limited to the edges mostly along the top of the coin). I can see how this voin didn't go for much.

Dude is trying to be sophisticated and just does not fit the bill. He looks like he found it, thought it was a regular coin, buddy told him it was expensive, and tried to sell it for the first price he saw on google.
I collect coins. You never sell a coin to a pawn shop for a few reasons. 1. You will never get collector price. A coin that is valued let's say at 1000.00 many collectors will pay you a more because THEY WANT that coin to complete a certain collection within the coin collection. Bring it to Auction where coins are sold or sell direct. Serious collectors sometimes have no problem paying double the market value if that's the coin they are looking for. 2. Pawn shops rarely sell coins in their establishment unless noted. They will sell it at auction. They will give you a pawn shop price (usually half or less) then they will sell it easily at auction at market value. You lose. For instance if you Bring in a 19th century let's say 1887 Morgan Dollar in Excellent condition you will maybe get a few dollars more than the silver price chart. (20 bucks maybe 25 if you are a good negotiator) but if you bring it to a Morgan Dollar Collector they will give you 35-50 bucks for it without hesitation. When your dealing in coins. A pawn shop isnt even an option to sell to honestly.
There are loads of these on earth. Mostly in used condition. If not then they are special. They find buckets of thousands of them fairly often in the UK simply by metal detecting. They used to chuck them in wells. Hide them in jars. 1/4 of all humans on earth used their coins. NOW this is a extremely notorious coin. Very much so. But have no illusions : I suspect Rome minted a half million of these bad boys even in 30 short days, and shipped them from Jerusalem to London and paid salaries with them. Hence the uproar over the face. Rome was INCREDIBLY rich. It's not even a joke to say it. They were ROLLING in it.
@@con_boy 1/4 of humans may have used Roman coins, but over a period of 1400 years, also, the UK isn't actually that packed with finds, us metal detectorists find almost nothing most hunts, and I myself have only found 1 bronze Roman coin in 3 years of detecting, and know many others who have had to wait longer, hoards are a very rare thing, and Julius Caesar is particularly rare to find because he was the first emperor to land here, so a Roman monetary system hadn't been developed yet. A hoard of ANY Roman coins is an extremely rare find, often valued in the hundreds of thousands and displayed in the most prestigious museums we have. Rome may have been rich, but they kept it to themselves
@@viperdetecting4425 thanks for the info, but I suspect it doesn't contradict what I am saying, firstly from England to Israel you will find these coins.. secondly, how many detectorists find one every 5 years? perhaps one every 5 years? you multiply that across every country form here to Israel and every detectorist, that is a surprising large number. lastly a lot of the easier to find ones have *been* found. that is important it means they are already among collectors. At my university in Newcastle they found a temple to Mithras filled with all sorts of things. Also Romans did have the notion of wishing wells and regularly used them.. while *most* of those wells were plundered and remelted long ago not ALL of them have been
even if he said it sold at 4000 i doubt rick would go much higher than 2000 for it. Pawn Shops are notorious for low balling you, they are not there to pay you full retail value, in the end if they cant make 50% profit off you they wont buy it.
He's the expert. And a quick google search proved that he was in fact right. In fact it took me 2 minutes to find a coin with the other half of this strike still fully visible going for 15.5k. There was quite a few results for this particular coin. As far as collector's coins go these seem pretty abundant (which makes sense seeing as how this was one of the more common coins when compared to say the uncommon bronze or hard to find gold coins with ceasers portrait). I found another in slightly better condition than this with some heavy wear (but all the letters still present) going for 3k. 1.5k seems to be the going rate for these coins in similar condition (although this particular one was worse off than the one's I am finding online) although not a lot seem to be selling. Mind you that these aren't exactly the most rare coins out there. The ones that do go for 200k are in fact quite great indeed. In fact there is one in an Australian museum I found that is near mint condition (for a coin this old) with just some slight wear along the edges (but not on the strikes) and I couldn't find any other online results for any of these coins in "great" condition. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make it true. There is a supply and demand curve on every market and the experts that deal with type of stuff daily are going to be pretty accurate with every thing they say.
@@MrTerror923 pawn shops don't low ball bevause they need to make at least 50% profit. They low ball because these items don't fill immediately and will sit for a while as the shop owner pays out of pocket. On top of that they need margins for authentication, repacking, storage, upkeep, and auntion. If you really want full value then you'd sell it yourself. People that go to pawn shops go for the convince and to save the hassel which means in turn they have to give something up. With the large numbers this shop deals with per episode especially in the market that they operate in you'd expect these guys to be rich in the tens of millions especially seeing as how they have "50%" margins but when you see that despite being in the game for as long as this family has they have a combined net worth in the 8 million range despite also being TV celebrities you'd quickly realise that these guy's don't make as mucb profit as you think (or should I say assume).
thats the whole point of making 50% profit because things sell slowly especially niche and expensive stuff unless you have a go to buyer. Obviously the more expensive the item the lower profit % you would go. However buying something at or close to its value that you know is not gonna sell is very very stupid, and bad as you never know if it will go down in value or sell at all.
Not really. David Vagi (the expert) is a well known, published expert on Roman coins. I have collected them for many years. The $200,000 coin he referred to is extremely rare in that high of grade and highly desired by top collectors and museums. The coin in question is often seen in the condition shown and is priced accordingly.

@@con_boy 1/4 of humans may have used Roman coins, but over a period of 1400 years, also, the UK isn't actually that packed with finds, us metal detectorists find almost nothing most hunts, and I myself have only found 1 bronze Roman coin in 3 years of detecting, and know many others who have had to wait longer, hoards are a very rare thing, and Julius Caesar is particularly rare to find because he was the first emperor to land here, so a Roman monetary system hadn't been developed yet. A hoard of ANY Roman coins is an extremely rare find, often valued in the hundreds of thousands and displayed in the most prestigious museums we have. Rome may have been rich, but they kept it to themselves
@@viperdetecting4425 thanks for the info, but I suspect it doesn't contradict what I am saying, firstly from England to Israel you will find these coins.. secondly, how many detectorists find one every 5 years? perhaps one every 5 years? you multiply that across every country form here to Israel and every detectorist, that is a surprising large number. lastly a lot of the easier to find ones have *been* found. that is important it means they are already among collectors. At my university in Newcastle they found a temple to Mithras filled with all sorts of things. Also Romans did have the notion of wishing wells and regularly used them.. while *most* of those wells were plundered and remelted long ago not ALL of them have been
Hey dude get the 1000 you might even get less out there" but with that attitude u may get nothing but get thrown out" what a ham..
this is a insult to the roman coin collecting community!
"your just using your position as the owner of a pawn shop to buy things for under their value!"
Rick got caught low balling, the guy was like wtf just cuz your expert says it sells for 1k doesnt mean thats true
even if he said it sold at 4000 i doubt rick would go much higher than 2000 for it. Pawn Shops are notorious for low balling you, they are not there to pay you full retail value, in the end if they cant make 50% profit off you they wont buy it.
He's the expert. And a quick google search proved that he was in fact right. In fact it took me 2 minutes to find a coin with the other half of this strike still fully visible going for 15.5k. There was quite a few results for this particular coin. As far as collector's coins go these seem pretty abundant (which makes sense seeing as how this was one of the more common coins when compared to say the uncommon bronze or hard to find gold coins with ceasers portrait). I found another in slightly better condition than this with some heavy wear (but all the letters still present) going for 3k. 1.5k seems to be the going rate for these coins in similar condition (although this particular one was worse off than the one's I am finding online) although not a lot seem to be selling. Mind you that these aren't exactly the most rare coins out there. The ones that do go for 200k are in fact quite great indeed. In fact there is one in an Australian museum I found that is near mint condition (for a coin this old) with just some slight wear along the edges (but not on the strikes) and I couldn't find any other online results for any of these coins in "great" condition. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make it true. There is a supply and demand curve on every market and the experts that deal with type of stuff daily are going to be pretty accurate with every thing they say.
@@MrTerror923 pawn shops don't low ball bevause they need to make at least 50% profit. They low ball because these items don't fill immediately and will sit for a while as the shop owner pays out of pocket. On top of that they need margins for authentication, repacking, storage, upkeep, and auntion. If you really want full value then you'd sell it yourself. People that go to pawn shops go for the convince and to save the hassel which means in turn they have to give something up. With the large numbers this shop deals with per episode especially in the market that they operate in you'd expect these guys to be rich in the tens of millions especially seeing as how they have "50%" margins but when you see that despite being in the game for as long as this family has they have a combined net worth in the 8 million range despite also being TV celebrities you'd quickly realise that these guy's don't make as mucb profit as you think (or should I say assume).
thats the whole point of making 50% profit because things sell slowly especially niche and expensive stuff unless you have a go to buyer.
Obviously the more expensive the item the lower profit % you would go.
However buying something at or close to its value that you know is not gonna sell is very very stupid, and bad as you never know if it will go down in value or sell at all.
Not really. David Vagi (the expert) is a well known, published expert on Roman coins. I have collected them for many years. The $200,000 coin he referred to is extremely rare in that high of grade and highly desired by top collectors and museums. The coin in question is often seen in the condition shown and is priced accordingly.
He tried his best to keep the one-up on Rick. But went home with his paper weight.
4400 for a 2000 years old coin, what’s wrong with this people
There are many of those out there. I have things that are far older than 2000 years old, they are worth in the hundreds. Supply and DEMAND
I have several rocks that are millions of years old. You interested?
@@easterlake I got ya beat, I have a whole backyard full of rocks that are billions of years old! Just because it's old...
I see your point of view...

That woman in the white pants in the background is on fire! Wow, lol
"I absolutely love it!!" So I will sell it for a few thousands bucks
I love how the "experts" the pawn shop brings in always low-ball in the pawn shops favor.
Literally not true at all but ok
This man has psychological issues
Customer: I have a briefcase with 1 million dollars inside.
Rick: I will give you $5 for it.
Customer: $20
Rick: too much, come back if you change your mind.
All these people who know nothing about ancient coin values in the comments lol. Rick made the right choice.
Rick and his so-called expert have no clue. First rule of handling old artifacts...wear gloves. Even a 10 year old knows that. $1500 is laughable for anything...coin, belt, shoe, ect., that's from 2000 years ago.
CHAMELEONHERMAN: You are right. Ancient coins are routinely handled without gloves. The oils are even considered good for the coins. It's a very different world from modern coin collecting. David Vagi (the expert) is a well known, published expert on Roman coins. I have collected them for many years. The $200,000 coin he referred to is extremely rare in that high of grade and highly desired by top collectors and museums. The coin in question is often seen in the condition shown and is priced accordingly. You can buy some genuine, 2000 year old coins that are still identifiable for $10 or less. People who say otherwise are ill informed. Just do an ebay search.
How can this man know so much about history
