Pawn stars tonight see my funny money

Smittys

Premiere Date:August 08, 2013 - 09:00-09:30PM ET

Print money with the Pawn Stars as the guys check out an entire sheet of test notes. Made when the U.S. Mint was testing a new printing press, will they see dollar signs, or is this funny money too hot to touch? Then, Corey and Chumlee have to duck and cover when some poleaxes swing into the shop. Used in Medieval times to dismount horse-riding soldiers, can they land a deal? And later, the guys try to give Chumlee a new nickname, but can they make it stick?

Smitty,you sound like a commercial. Congrats. I'm going to guess they will 'dis your collection. Hope I'm wrong?

lcoopie

isn't there a better venue to sell than that?

DorkGirl

I'll be watching.

This should be fun. Makes me wish I still subscribed to cable and watched television. 7 years without , I feel like a recluse. Odd how many people say to me in the shop: "You must be one of them Pawn Stars"

MsMorrisine

I'm going to have to pqay to get it framed, and if you have a hard time selling it, we are too. It's going to sit around for who knows how long until it sells and I don't have a lot of customers for something like this, plus I have rent and employees to pay.

How about 1/3 of its value?

mariner67

I really enjoy the show and its characters.
I will be watching!

ricko

Rarely watch.... I did when Charmy was on...might try to catch tonight's episode... Cheers, RickO

Chumley will eventually have is own reality show. Maybe they will call it Chumley Boo Boo. Speaking of Boo Boo, neighbor ran into them in the dollar store (only the best) while they were in town for daddy Boo Boo's tests at the Mayo.

He is not allowed to divulge much info so he probably did a copy and paste of the show summary.

I'll be watching!!! Pretty darn cool.

Bochiman

Did they pretty you up with makeup and the such?

johnny9434

ill have to take a look. it can get down right comical with them 2

I know there are many people out there that do not have the knowledge, means or time to sell valuable
'objects' when they need the money. But I find it very hard to accept that the majority don't have friends/family
with contacts who, at least, may have a idea for a better return then a pawn shop. It should be a "last resort"
only.

And yes, I know they are a business and entitled to a profit, but it always seems they guarantee
it at the expense of the customer.

I don't know why, but it really irks me to see ordinary people use these venues!!!...JMHO

DeepCoin

Just a minor correction for you, the Mint does NOT print notes, that is BEP, better known as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing..... not a big deal... many make that mistake

Coinosaurus

It's all scripted, but at least they have good writers

gonzer

Isn't that the one where Chumlee takes the poleaxe and with one mighty Bruce (Chum)Lee swing cuts the sheet into individual notes?

Sure, but where else can you be on TV peddling your wares?

Goldbully

I'll be a viewer Smittys!!!! I'm an addicted fan.

"A sheet of test notes from the U.S. Mint" is the info description from Comcast.

<< <i>Sure, but where else can you be on TV peddling your wares? >>



Yea, you're right. I forgot the extra "value" for national exposure.

MsMorrisine

ok, I'm doing a shot if anyone says "shoot me a PM after the taping."

keyman64

I just watched it! Good job Terry, congratulations!

WOW, Laura, VP of PCGS Currency was the expert they called in!!! That's pretty freaking cool!

Goldbully

Wow, Laura Kessler from PCGS Currency is the Pawn Stars expert here.....wearing her official PCGS sport shirt yet.

Laura Link

Great spot Smittys!!

jdimmick

Just watched it,

I herd rick say before the break that he had a friend who was a Professional currency grader, I told my wife, it has to be somebody from PCGS currency or PMG, and low and behold laura from PCGS currency comes in

I see smitty sold

morgansforever

Nice plug for PCGS. Certainly a cool item, would look great framed and matted. She said it was a sexy sheet

Zubie

Very cool sheet, I've never seen anything like that. Nice job Smitty!

For some reason I'm craving tater tots! Mmmm......tater tots!

sparky64

Great job Smittys!
You came across confident,clear and intelligent.

I enjoyed the heck out of that.

MsMorrisine

Watch the next episode for the "never ending debate of the forum" on TV !

PCGS Currency that is. No longer a part of Collectors Universe though. That division was sold several years ago.

notehunter

Smittys- Great job. Very cool that it was a PCGS VP.

Walkerfan

I just watched it----Pawn Stars is one of my favorite shows. Very cool to have the currency expert from PCGS!! I was impressed. Congrats on getting the 3300 for it!!

MidLifeCrisis

I rarely watch the show but, as luck would have it, I was watching tonight. It was pretty cool to see the PCGS currency expert get called in. That's when I remembered this thread.

MICHAELDIXON

As we say in the south: "You done well, boy!"

shylock

I've been a Pawn Stars junkie from the beginning and never seen an item retail appraised from 3-3.5K and then actually sold in that range, well done

is it really yours? if so cool.

TwoSides2aCoin

Let me know when it's up on YouTube.

Wabbit2313

That was cool! The behind the scenes story is probably really cool. You pulled off "not knowing much about it" very well by the way! PCGS forum member and all!

ThePennyLady

Just watched your episode - very cool. Never saw test notes before. Nice job - well done!!

VanHalen

Well done Smitty! I actually watched the show before reading this thread.

You and PCGS did fine!

LochNESS

<< <i>Let me know when it's up on YouTube. >>


+1.

Or xfinity or Netflix, those will work. No don't worry I can check on my own, jusy sayin I haven't watched yet b/c we don't get that channel.

BTW, at least now I know how it ends ... geez y'all didn't waste any time posting the results!

mariner67

Yeah Smittys, very cool.
I learned about the test notes and am a big fan of the show.
You did great.
Thanks for the heads up!

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD

Great Job dude! One of the first times I have ever seen someone get Rick to pay retail for something... I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps it at the shop for a while to show off

I'm happy for you Smitty, I am very glad I was wrong.Congrats. once again!-joey

DorkGirl

That was very cool.

northcoin

Thanks for the heads up. I was still able to catch the show here in my delayed time zone even after most had already seen it. Nice to be able to put a face with the name and all in all well done by the OP and the Pawn Stars crew.

Dabigkahuna

I watched, of course. Well done. I watch that show a lot and you seemed to come across as one of the more intelligent sellers I've seen yet.

Congrats!

We got to see a whole lot more of you than we did him. Very cool to see you both!

coindeuce

I had an up close and personal visit with that sheet a couple weekends ago at Smitty's shop. It is quite impressive in that unique holder provided by PCGS Currency. I shoulda taken a phone-cam shot of Smitty standing behind it.

I've been a long time viewer and always wondered how long does it take an "expert" to just show up after they get a call? Also do they get compensated for their visit? Anyway I enjoyed the episode, and its nice to put a face to a name.
