Great coins. Out of my price range. I like watching pawn stars. Reminds me of the time I spent at the local coin/gold shop. I miss seeing the look on peoples faces when asked if it was okay to scratch test their jewlery they were selling. Theyd say okay and coin dealer would pull out this huge nail file and start sawing on their "heirlooms". Their jaws would hit the floor. Then he'd put acid on the gold and fizz/melt the junk. Good times.
No, I have lots of problems, but unproductive follicles are not one of them. I do have to discuss "color" with my follicles, but not production. Dude's head looks like a zit. The way he dismissed the gold coin immediately made me happy, though. I'm guessing the Jeff Garrett bit is partial payback for Harrison signing stuff at Denver in August. "You promote me, I'll promote you." Call it mutual shilling. Lots of CT members seem to be intimately familiar with the concept.
And he bugs me as well. Acts like a used car salesman. Pawn Stars has gotten old really fast, much like Duck Dynasty did. I've since switched to American Pickers. They are much more realistic and down to earth and willing to go the extra mile to make things work.
I also don't believe for a minute that Jeff Garrett would "just happen to stop by" believing that Harrison is the best place for these coins. Gimme a stinking break! It's "made for TV" hokum, fake news.
Yes to the first and yes to the second ( hope your health is improving, you need a break ) and yes to the last.
Thank you, and yes, the reduction of my daily commute from an hour and a half of automobile and then train travel, each way, to a 2-minute stroll across a park, is the best thing I could have done for my health. I am no longer exhausted at the end of the day and settle for fat-laden diner food or worse, and I cook for myself every day. My weight, as measured at the doctors' office, has a first digit of "1" for the first time in over 30 years. Now..., if it's all that and not some pernicious carcinoma eating away at me, it's all good. The only thing I have to get whipped still is dealing with my four-legged buddies' insistence on "meal sharing".
"The only thing I have to get whipped still is dealing with my four-legged buddies' insistence on "meal sharing"." Show them, eat their food!!!
All fake. Like when Rick calls his buddy Dana to stop by and authenticate a piece of early American paper. Dana Linett drops everything and travels from San Diego to Las Vegas to just stop in for two minutes to look at the item.
It's a TV show...it's meant to be entertaining and if anyone thinks it's more than that then they are crazy. I remember back early in the series...they used to use that Rick Dale guy to do a lot of the restorations of items they bought...then he got his own show. Anyway, before he became one of the show's experts...if you go back and watch the really early episodes his brother (Ron) appears. He tries to sell some kind of old Coke machine or something that he claims to know nothing about. The premise is he has no knowledge about this stuff just happened to find it at a flea market or something. I remember seeing it as a rerun and thought it was funny.
Well, he does have a buddy, or several who are experts on just about darn near everything.... ( I'm being sarcastic ) I do agree with you.
Of course it’s staged in the sense they recruit things to come into the shop, they wouldn’t pay a film crew to film all day hoping for something. Once the items in the store though it’s real, the penny lady was actually on one episode
