      @@samgardner4667 The numismatic value of the coin is completely irrelevant. The value is entirely based on the fact that it was found on the body of somebody who died on Titanic. Rick said in the video that the value would only be $40-$50 otherwise.

    @mcseedat Před 3 lety

    Pawn shows generally pay anywhere from 1 to 30% of the value of an item. That's just the way it is.
    When the item has a high subjective value as opposed to intrinsic value then u shud never even consider going to a pawn shop. They better off putting it up for auction, the fact remains it's not as expensive as Rick makes it out to be. Just like framing and binding. Not expensive relative to the value of the product.
    If it costs you a few hundred or even 1k to get the best frame onto a Picasso which would increase the value and saleablity of the item. Most people aren't business minded and that's why people like Rick make a fortune of others misfortune
