Pawn shop pick ups (coins, not girls) in Las Vegas

I was killing time in Las Vegas prior to catching a flight and spotted this pawn shop.
They had the usual over priced junk, but I did spot these two sitting side by side.

This AU 1939 looked cool, we haggled a bit and settled on $10.

Then this 1952 they had labeled "Unc". They had the Unc part right, but I recognized it as a Proof.
Got it for $10 too.

    20 bux well spent, I think. I like 'em both, but the '39 in particular.

    Has anybody been to that pawn shop that's on the History Channel show? I've seen the Old Man going through stacks of Morgans and I think he overlooked a CC mintmark in one episode of Pawn Stars. His son Rick was givin' him some grief about that.

    That was the first thing I looked for, no such luck.

    I like them and their color - is the proof a superbird?

    Nice! The pawn shop on pawn stars is not as nice as they make it seem. Many of the high ticket items that "walk in" are set up.
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    I'm tempted to take a nice coin to the "Pawn Stars" shop and see what they offer.

    A friend who is a local in Las Vegas said to stay away from that place after dark (not a nice neighborhood).
    I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff will be coming down for quite a while!
