Anyone watch this week's episode? A lady found this 1924 $20 Saint in a safe in the wall while doing a house rehab? Surprised to see Rick purchased it for $1500!
Cool show!

    There is a play by play thread about it over on the US coin forum, just search "Pawn Stars". It was an interesting discussion.

    That Saint looked like a shiney AU to me. I agree. Strong money.

    For the date & raw I was very surprised at strong $$ they bought it for. My guess is they have a strong coin market.

    ...or were playing up to the camera to look like good guys. In all honesty, I graded it MS64 before their expert said it was a 64. You can check thread in the coin forum. It looked at least that good to me.

    Yeah, looked very nice (good luster and cartwheel) in the brief amount of time they showed it on TV. If Rick (on Pawn Star's) will pay that amount you know he has potential buyers already waiting. That coin will probably never see the inside of his stores showcase.

    I had it recorded and just watched it this am. I graded 64 myself before the expert came in. Based on what they typically pay, I thought their offer was a little stronger than I would have expected, course gold was probably a bit higher with the bigger premiums on generics when this was taped.

    They don't bother any other time.
