You are absolutely right about that. With social media all around, some collectors may actually be interested on anyone collection and know the value can buy it at a better price without going to the auction.

Your dad is exactly right you can have something that was appraised for $100,000 but if somebody only wants to give you 80 and it's the only offer that you have that's all it's worth just because it was appraised for a higher price does not mean somebody will give you that price also when people go to sell things they have a sentimental value to it that means nothing to the buyer. Because of great and sentimental value they reject the offer thinking that they can hold out for a better offer when in reality what is work today isn't what it's worth next year and we see that all the time with gold and silver prices they might have waited too long and it might end up being worth nothing .

@@johnsmythe6134 I showed some old wheat pennies to a kid on the school bus that I drive. He thought it was stupid to care about an old coin. He thought it was foolish and worthless. He acted the same way about old comic books. I actually helped helped him find that he had two comic books that were worth a lot of money, The Incredible Hulk 182 and The Human Torch 17-Golden Age 40's. He is 17. His mother got him a job at the Toyota dealership where she works. She got him a summer job last year detailing cars for $25 an hour. Now he still has a job there but for $11.50 an hour. They had helped him make some quick money to save to buy a car. He's working his way up to changing car fluids and stuff. His mother also bought him a scratch off ticket for $50. The kid won $1,500 on his very first ticket. OMG, this kid makes me crazy. He thinks people will throw money at you. What a way to start his adult life. He has one more year of high school and should be driving an old Toyota car next year. He's a high functioning kid from a special education bus. He has OCD, so he tells me, which is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He says he didn't talk till he was about 7 years of age and since then he hasn't been able to shut up. Every time I try to impress the kid with something old like a movie, a comic book, a coin, etc, he just wants to know what such a thing might be worth in dollars. He seems to think this is all that matters. He is certainly right in some of that but he doesn't seem to connect with sentimentality or the idea of an antique, days gone by, a culture from the past. He just wants to know why he should care and what something is worth in dollars. Me, I think I'm the opposite. I care more about the antiquity, the age, and how rare something might be. If I was better off selling something, then OK, maybe I need the money. I'd rather keep something of value though than to give it to some "fool", some "kid" who thought something from the past was just some silly junk. I kind of feel that way about some china I inherited from my mother, and trinkets and stuff but I feel differently about other things that interest me.

I always look through pennies for that allusive 1943 and 1944 treasure. I have so many wheat-pennies it's ridiculous. Pretty neat thinking of what they were used to buy close to a hundred years ago, all the same.

As a rule of thumb, a pawn shop will offer you 10 cents on a dollar, in other words if an item is valued at $1,000....the typical pawn shop is going to offer you $100....however, high end items such as this one-cent piece, the rule of thumb goes straight out the door, and depending on how badly the pawn broker wants the item, the bargaining will take place with both parties in a give and take, mode.

Noway! That coin is worth way more!

I once found a 43 steelie when I was younger - Thought i struck it rich... This was before Google - I rode my bike home and got my mom to drive me to the jewelry apprasier guy and he told me the 43 are not worth a dime. Lol

I came across a 1943 copper when I was 10. Thought I struck it rich too. Until I learned that people coated the steelies through electrolysis giving them a copper film.

The regular issue 1943 U.S. Cents, from all three mints, were zinc plated steel and are quite common. Bronze (95% copper) was used from mid 1864 through 1942 and again from 1944 through mid 1982. The rarities are 1943 bronze or 1944 steel.

Im the one fans of your shows in history chanel..nice so good

I’m love this show

Love how the seller copies Rick's last words at the end of a sentence in order to to establish his own knowledge

This exact coin was sold at Heritage auctions Feb. 4, 2014 for $30,550.00 which includes a 17 % buyers fee. Another one sold for $26,400 just last August. That coin was graded slightly higher at AU 55 but a weak strike. The 2019 coin had not been cleaned and it appears the coin in this video might have been lightly cleaned. The offer of $25,000 was too high. [EDIT: the show first aired: October 24, 2016.]

I would offer him 10 cents for it. That's 10 times its actual value 😂

I love how the guy says from my research theres less then 30 ever made but the grading holder says coin 97 he obviously doesnt have a clue about coin collecting also just cause someone lists something high on ebay doesnt mean thats what its actually selling for

@Mike-.

The coin that sold for 375k was in perfect MS66 condition and the highest ever found and graded. The coin being offered to Rick was in a much less desirable AU53 condition and there are currently 75 known in higher graded conditions. That's why this coin had been sold for around 30k previously and would never sell for 375k.

@timber72

@@EricPrincipino Are you slow? The coin that sold for "$400k" was a different coin in far better condition.

I have a bunch of rolls of coins, all were new mint when packaged, 7 or 8 total rolls, all steel pennies, my dad got them from a close friend office worker, during the 1950's and I dont even know where at presently, but packed away with my dads old stuff. not looked at since the mid 1980's makes me want to go look for, no idea of dates, and we know end ones will have oxidation, but still never in circulation.

Good move ! It is worth more
