Rick finally didn’t rip the person off and got shorted himself.
The customers almost always highball and try to rip Rick off.
I’ve seen it a few times and the seller knew what the coin was worth that’s why he was cool with $1100 lol
Rick is cheaper than a plastic penny.
It you watch this show enough you would have seen this coming i did, producers cater to the hate watchers.
100 bucks isnt really getting shorted more like a small loss the guy low balls thousands even tens of thousands at times i mean karma did strike but barely
This is why he should’ve “called a buddy.”
hes rich its not a big deal he made a bad deal.
@@chriss4365Might have helped.
because he wanted to scalp that costumer
He didn't want to pass on that golden opportunity. He was really hoping to make mint. A costly error. A Byzantine error, I might add.
If he called the “buddy”, he’s not gonna get good content for the show.
David: $700 up to $1000 in this condition.
Rick: 🙄
There's one born every minute lol. In reality no pawnshop would hire Rick. Nobody wants a history lesson Everytime you bring a item to sell to this weirdo. Just good for tv
Colin Sushiboy he doesn’t need to get hired. It’s his shop. It’s also a show on the history channel.
@@colinsushiboy745 Do you expect a deal to be made in like 19 seconds or what?
Colin Sushiboy more like Pucci Boi
Rick is cheaper than a plastic penny.
I love how when Rick gets the bad news, he winds up falling back on the same arguments that he rejected from the seller - "It's a gold coin", "It's a thousand years old".
Customer: I just thought I would get more since it’s 1000 years old, and it’s gold
Rick: No, I wouldn’t be so sure. The market isn’t that big in the US.
Customer: Alright, I will take the deal.
----
Expert: It’s worth us between 800-1100.
Rick: Well I thought it would be worth more you know, SINCE ITS 1000 YEARS OLD, AND ITS GOLD
Yeah he means the customer won't get that much.... He doesn't pay market value... Obviously he's not a collector
@@darthrevan2 In the beginning he said that the price (retail) was probably around $1,100, and offered $700. Then turned around and offered $1,000 and even settled for $1,100. He basically screwed himself, and good.
HaHa
Not just real gold. Comedy gold too.
@@unfixablegop win
This is an insult to the ancient byzantine community
Lolol. They are going to tweet about it after this.
I am part of the community and I demand answers.
Nonetheless, It's white males' fault.
Best comment I've seen
And that's why they are chooches.
I love it when Rick ends up losing money.
lol
it sounds really mean, but it's equally entertaining.
What he said about a little knowledge being dangerous is really a good saying, he burned himself by thinking it was worth way more... just like many of their customers comming in wanting $501Billion for 1 of the kind item and walking out with at best $3.5 cause it wasn't worth as much.
i bet he didn't...that coin probably sold for more than 1100$
why? he’s running a business
@@Silvercrypto-xk4zy normally I'd agree, but I think Rick was trying to pull a fast one on an ignorant seller.
A coin like this surviving a thousand or two thousand years and coming to this day is incredible
I collect ancient coins and it’s amazing having coins 2000 years old plus. They’re all very under valued and easy to collect
Don't forget Rick also has to spend $200K to get it framed so he's really screwed! 😜
Nice job Rick..... love to see you take one for the team every now and then!
"A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." only legit thing I've heard on Prawn Stars in over a decade
Prawn stars sounds like an awesome show. Shrimp Rick
Rick @4:17 at the coin's relatively low valuation:" That's it?!" I *so* wish David had replied "Well, I've got to get it framed, maybe sell it at auction. I'm taking all the risk here."
"I'm selling a coin from 1454" "Sorry my buddy is only an expert on coins after 1455"
The byzantine empire fell in 1453 so no byzantine coins would have been minted after that
😂🤣
up to 1455 would include 1454 then. you meant to say coins after not up to
That coin is a Hypernion, cup coin made by Alxeios Komenos to replace the soldius that cup like coin was not in production by the years after the recpatue of Constantinople in the late 1200s by Michael VI Palialogos
@@caiawlodarski5339 actually, it was called the Roman Empire all the way to 1453, the Byzantines would not have recognized this weird word we used to refer to them today :)
Finally...Rick owns himself. That should be the title and not this clickbait title
Do you even know what clickbait is? Cause it definitely doesn't show
YES who else loves it when Rick takes a gamble and loses yet he moans the most when the other do even if they made the right call
And you edited?
Allegedly ^
Making fun of someone eventhough you edited your comment and STILL used incorrect grammar? Nice.
Who else heard the Old Man say, "dammit, Rick"?
For real, or as a ghost thing?
Ha, I can hear it. Good one.
I can’t hear it
Seeing as he didn’t say it ... no... I didn’t ..
Every couple of videos, I'll come back and watch this one to feel better. It's strange feeling so happy for someone else's loss, or maybe I'm just happy for the dude bringing it in.
Strange, I’ve seen this episode a while back, hmmm
me too
They have been re-uploading youtube espisodes for some reason
"New" Video. New likes. New paycheck
i’ve seen this too
The Byzantines didn't build Constantinople. The reason the empire is even called the Byzantine Empire is because Constantinople was basically just the much older Classical Greek city of Byzantion. Constantinople was already there, they just made it bigger and renamed it.
The coronavirus was all over that coin. Hear rick lose his breath at the end when 700 bucks was said? He was weezing
This episode is old.
Dumbest joke ever.
I was always amazed at how little Rick new about so much. It was getting to the point of Chum lee being more knowledgeable and that was scary.
They are all given scripts, but Rick does pride himself on remembering a lot.
Good news is that when people like him start paying more for items, and then people start refusing to sell them for less, as long as people still want to buy them, then the value does go up!
Guy: Call 911!
Rick: Best I can do is 91...
Person in distress: Rick, can you call 911
Rick: There's no money in it for me
That loss felt good!
Why? Do you hate him or something?
@@mrbust999 it's because he's a baldy
Yes
Justin Ripley 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@justinripley7530 😂😂
I love seeing rick lose money .
Skyler D'Souza Rick’s biggest losses compilation
$1000 Loss is nothing to him
Rick is cheaper than a plastic penny.
John I know. But still. He’s scammed to many people
Hes gonna sit on it and let the value come up. Best thing he could do is sell it out of the shop to himself and sit on it that wat so he doesnt have to count it in Inventory.
Rick: I want thousands of dollars for this I paid $1100 for it
Expert: Best anyone can do is $700 - $1000
Yes we know.
He should have listen to Barbara when she said I’m out ....😂
When Rick doesn't call in the expert he thinks he's going to get one over on the customer.! He doesn't want the expert to tell the customer that it's worth big money because he'd have to offer big money then. So I'm delighted the customer got one over on him.
If you buy the idea that the events depicted on this program are real.
@@billolsen4360 I've been there while it was filming... when I was there it was real so stfu
@@billolsen4360 Maybe it is real.
Almost like Rick is a scammer. Oh, wait, he is!
I’m convinced rick periodically does these types of “loss” segments just to build up seller confidence
Person in distress: Rick, can you call 911
Rick: There's no money in it for me
@@Len1977gt Rick: Most I can do is 411
Rick gave the same answer to the expert that his customers give to him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
coin experts: "Never touch a coin, NEVER clean a coin and NEVER EVER scratch a coin, only hold it in special coin capsules". The Pawnshop owner: touches the coin, holds it and BANG drops the coin on the table, scratching it and devaluing it even more
It was already in rough condition.
it's fine, it's a circulated coin and is probably only about 80% gold anyway so it won't scratch easily.
That's how people treat modern coins but ancient/medieval coins have already been through a lot so there's less of an issue with handling them unless they're in like superb mint condition which is rare.
Really like your channel..Bought the same exact coin 25 yrs ago for about 200 from a top coin dealer.. didnt know it went up that much.was buying 20 dollar gold for 300 an oz around that the price of gold was low the ancient piece probably reflects the amt of gold over the numismatic value or 50/50 . still an interesting piece Rick even as a few bucks more..
Seller: Hey Rick i have this treasure map dating 1 million years ago and i want $100k
Rick: let me call an expert...
Expert: this map has wrinkles and a small rip so therefore its worth only 50 bucks
Rick is cheaper than a plastic penny.
facts
His laugh like MUTLEY THE DOG drives me insane....
"Let me just call a low evaluation of mine.", Coin guy, every time.
1:19 It's sad that most American collectors are only interested in American coins. There's a whole world of fascinating coins out there to collect. Don't limit yourself to one country.
What a beautiful Coín, that a Piece of history
4:19 thats it? Now you know what it feels like
Beautiful and very beautiful show. I wish you health, peace, success and progress in your wonderful work. Greetings to all
It is nice to see than every 30 moons Rick doesn't rip off people.
Rick never rips people off, hate how you people have this mindset that he does. It’s America people make money.
Jack Pfister do you lowball?
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing ,love that
Rick-“yea I actually have a guy that specializes in prehistoric hip bones right across the street”
About time Rick got shorted. That greedy laugh back fired.
He wants to screw the customer but he failed
The customers almost always highball and try to rip Rick off.
He didn’t try to screw him over
@@jasonmichael3676 You're a little slow, eh? 2nd comment, exactly the same, people dont "Try" to rip him off, Rick rips off EVERYONE he can for a personal gain, thats pawning.
a pawn shop just works like this man, they pay 60-70% of the value and resell with the option for you to buy it back as "pawn" later on.
its not like a pawn shop tries to rip anyone off, they buy things cheap enough for them to be able to resell without losing on it else they wouldnt want it.
@@bquamb3478 You're also forgetting that guys like Rick pay extremely high taxes. So others get free cash and free everything without having to work.
Lol wait for prices to go up. It's solid gold Rick XD
Byzantine coins have a low value when they should he worth more
There's a reason why Byzantine coins aren't worth much compared to Greek and Roman coins. The Average Joe can't explain what the "Byzantine Empire" is without Googling it. We are taught in school that the Roman Empire collapsed from barbarian invasions in 476 AD. In reality, the so called "Byzantine Empire" is the surviving remnant of the Roman Empire. The "Byzantine Empire" lasted until 1453, so technically the Roman Empire fell 40 years before Columbus discovered America. Most people don't know what the "Byzantine Empire" is due to the Byzantines being underrepresented in pop culture and lack of mention in textbooks. In addition, Byzantine coins are quite unattractive compared to earlier Greek and Roman coins. Keep in mind, Byzantine coins were minted during the Dark Ages, a chaotic period. So naturally, Byzantine coins are ugly compared to Greek and Roman coins. Hence why there's less demand for Byzantine coins
They SHOULD. A coin of the same emperor in Billon (silver mixed w copper) can be had in similar condition for 20 bucks!
@@MrMonkeySwag96 glad to see you guys here lol
@@MrMonkeySwag96 True, Byzantine coins are underrated including the gold (Hist. Nom) and (Hyperpyron). Gold was cheap and most of the mid age coins gold value was low. The Roman Aureus and Solidus are higher valued coins.
I bought a Byzantine Solidus of Constantine IV and they are less than $1000
Always consult the expects. still you people are truthful to your dealings
Rick has CRUSTY fingers... GET A MANICURE!
Is there any chance to reach this coin expert?
This is an insult to the Ancient Byzantine community.

Third time I’ve seen this joke. 🤦♂️
@@dbodooley WOWZERZ
Rick is cheaper than a plastic penny.
Ive done this before, with WW2 motorcycle parts, sat on them and they sky rocketed. Now they are gold dust.
I found a gold roman coin inside a secret compartment in a wooden chest that belonged to my grandfather but not sure for how many decades it was sitting in there with a dosen of decayed papers and photos. Anyways, I think it belongs to me now since I'm the one who discovered it but I'm not going to tell the rest of my family about it or at least to whom it belonged.
Info:
My grandfather was a farmer from north Africa.
The coin has the famous figure of Romulus and Remus feeding from a female wolf on one side and the other side has a head figure of the roman emperor of that era
How can I get a hold of your coin guy Rick? I am not sure of what I have a 1972 penny, on one side of Lincoln's head is a Liberty bell, while on the other side is the map of the USA. Can you let me know if it is of any value or not?
Oh no poor Rick, now he's going to have to start eating 2 minute noodles to make ends meet.
Assalamualikum! Fan of your content. Keep it up! :)
Brah, stop using the same clip over and over again plaease.
You do understand the show is over and periodically the episodes will be repeated right?

Wow Rick finally feels like what a customer feels like.
how can u grade that thing?? :)
I love it when stuff like this happens to rick
I don't know, it just feels so good when the swindler gets swindled
love it when Rick gets greedy, and GET"S SCREWED! 😎✌☃🎄🤶🎅
He thought he was gonna get one up on that customer and tried scamming him and then he got burned 🤣
scamming him? he made an offer. customer is free to decline the offer. everything is above board. simple really, maybe that's why you're a bernie supporter. simple economics escape you
Lol that's funny! I'm glad Rick got the short end on this deal! He was hoping to rip that you off by not calling in his expert! JUSTICE
He should simply make it part of his personal collection.
Wow amazing stuff brilliant watch 👌

As a Greek, I'd actually buy that
There is no such thing as "Greek" lol
@@johnnybgood774 Greek, Hellenic whats the difference if its a word thats not even part of the Hellenic language?
I've bought and sold dozens of Byzantine coins like this one, been getting $500-$750 , these coins were also not pure Gold like many other coins, they are called hyperpyron about 20 Carat (after year 1092), then after 1200 ad went down to 18 Carat, then 15, then 12 Carat after 1282. less Gold doesn't always mean less value, but does sometimes effect its desirability and some value.
And this is what happens when rick doesnt summon a expert
"summon"
4:20 How does it feel to taste yor own medicine rick!
I will give $600 max seeing Rick lose money for fun if $700 is the most he will average.
I don't know why, but due to the coronavirus the price of gold today has increased by $16 an Ounce.
HardikG121 no, bitcoin is down in the toilet, a couple days ago it was at $4,220
gold went from a high of $1700 to below $1500 today.... traditionally ppl flee to gold from high VIX, now ppl r just trading.
@@lintlickers it was 0$ once and 20000$ in 2017... so you never know.. but sure it will be very valuable now and in future
Acrually Gold is down -37,75 USD / -2,47 % today.
Precious metals are collapsing. Bitcoin is even worse. All these commodities based largely on theoretical value aren't holding up to market pressure when faced with an actual crisis. Gold will recover, so now is a good time to buy. But I think this crisis is going to prove bitcoin worthless in the long term.
At least Rick is honest, he still let people know what is its real price on the market and wont sell it higher than the expert's advise.
Rick thought he was going to take advantage. He thought the coin was worth more & didn’t want to call his coin guy while the customer was there..
exactly, Rick thought it was worth like $7000 and that he was taking the dude for a ride.
then he would have to pay the coin dude so he would lose money without making any money
@@gabrielcornea9119: They don't pay the experts on this show. The experts agree to the free advertising from the shown for their business.

The coin's actually in pretty good condition, and it's definitely one of the more "Imperial" looking coins. Constantine IX may have been a somewhat mediocre Emperor, but he understood the concept of looking impressive, and so his coins are not to be ignored. His portrait is a quintessential image of later Macedonian dynastic power. I would say that because most of the wording is intact, and the strike is pretty crisp (with a rather nice light patina), that this coin would actually fetch a higher price than what David suggests. I would probably value the coin on the higher end of his estimate -- about $950-1000, so Rick wasn't really that far off. His knowledge was in fact rather impressive here.
You understand knowing that confirms your homosexuality right?
@@princesssprinklesthecat4192 Happily married. But not sure why it would even be an insult. lol
Good day Sir.. Do you exept MALAYSIAN coins Sir.??? Thankyou
when your so confused that you use same clip over,
'byzantine empire' aka the ROMAN EMPIRE LMFAO !!
Old episode with same clickbait title
Joe BAHAMA MAMA iz my clickbait
Dudes expression was like uff yes $1,100 lemme just act like im gonna bargain again but then accept it after and try to look normal as if thats not what he really wanted😂
Finally he takes a hit.
I like to depersonalize and dissociate during these and fall into a depression when Rick reveals truths of how life works
I am a total novice when it comes to ancient coins, but as soon as I saw the coin I thought Rick should pay about $500-600 for it.
Funny enough Rick sounds like the customers he's trying to shaft. "Surely it must be worth more.."
Rick Sounds like the angry customers
Ricks statement about US coins being much popular than ancients in America is correct.
Hey Rick: I'll give you five bucks for it. (LOL)
Rick should have called his expert first, lol.
What is catalog?
its okay rick. that coin is priceless.
I love episodes when rick screws himself!
Dear Rick sir,Please do upload indians,Antics video.
It's amazing that people like to down play or insult Rick if it goes bad or loses money... But it's still a business, so lose some or win, people don't think.. As a seller and often bargain hunter it's it can be difficult at times and most people or commentor on TH-cam are inexperienced enough to make real comments or jokes
I’m a small time numismatist and from what I’ve seen nobody really bothers with any coins other than US coins. The market for US coins is so much bigger than any others and there values are significantly higher.
