Let me take these notes out with my greasy oily hands
Gloves are not necessary for paper documents, I’m assuming it’s the same for paper money.
Patrick Jones not true. I have my own pawn shop and I always use gloves. I’ve been trained
Someone: I’m dying please call 911
Rick : best I can do is 9
hhhk20 why not if people like it I learn English not long ago and I like it so let me di whatever I want
The way the expert handled the bills gave my left eye ticks.
I was thinking the same thing... old but PRISTINE looking paper, and the guy flicks his oily fingers all over it.
It’s the owners fault for walking in there without having it graded first. That was stupid
@@Fister_of_Muppets more people who know nothing about the area and think they know better than people who do this professionally.
that is CURRENCY. it's not a leaf from the Gutenberg bible or some ancient book made from extremely delicate, poor paper. it was designed to be handled by humans hands consistently and survive wear and tear.
will it still degrade over time? of course, but touching it with your fingertips for 25 seconds is not going to cause any sort of noticeable degradation. do you think our fingers are literally dripping with oil or something? is your cellphone slimey and slick from you holding it all the time?
wearing gloves can remove the tactile sensation while handling paper, causing you to exert too much force and possible damage it. MANY experts advise not using gloves when handling paper artifacts. simply clean your hands well beforehand and don't make contact for prolonged periods. it's not hard.
Not sure if he is an expert or a depraiser they were worth 50,000 before he put his cheeseburger hands all over them. Now there 40,000.
Guy: "$40,000 is the least I would sell them for"
2 minutes later
Rick: "I'll give you $35k"
Guy: "deal"
@@SugarRay2 exept the buyer pays the fees at some of them and the guy is selling them and they could bring more depends on the day and who's there but never less bc they have a min bid
02:04 dude... pick it up like a normal person..
Ruan Esterhuizen that guy when he picked it up like that gave me a heart attack
"Well let me just... *tears the money* Well this bill is worth around 0"
2:03 the expert just took 25 percent off of the value for accidentally bending the bill lol
I was shocked to see him remove the currency without cotton gloves. Unreal.
Atleast in books, sometimes gloves actually damage it more. Probably the case here.
I'm sure it was already sold at that point and this was a scripted recreation of the deal like normal. There's no way that seller would let someone touch those notes with bare oily hands without knowing if he was going to be keeping them or not
0:28 that must be the hardest i've heard Rick laugh at one of his own jokes. LOL
"You want change, just get some Morgan dollars and we'll have no problem at all"
Why does a professional like this not wear gloves? If I were the owner, I would have flipped out.
Joe well if I remember correctly the items are already pre-negotiated and the rest is just acting for the show so items are already bought so it doesn’t matter how they handle them
Because any time he can get his grubby prints all over a ungraded item, it increases the value of his items...
Je Joo: He means that professional currency appraisers will happily deteriorate the value of your items, since it increases the value of theirs...Derp; Get it graded/encapsulated, and THEN take it to the shop..."Oh, a $500 PCS graded bill in an airtight sealed capsule, It is worth exactly...." Not getting 50 thousand in notes graded, is like having only basic liability insurance on a brand new Ferrari...
Rick really needs a laugh track for when those dad jokes don't land with the customer.
Anybody else SHOCKED at Rick's first offer of $35,000?
I was expecting, "I can give you $10,000."
Not really, these notes are really rare, as of now there are only about 70 - 50 left in existence. The demand is over the top.
I was expecting 25,000 to 30,000 to be Rick's first offer but yeah I think he wanted the bills a little more and didn't want to lose them. Especially for their rarity.
I am surprised that these bills have not already been graded and encased.
Rick : Lemme bring a expert in - “calls a extra from The Office”
There is only a few left in the world? Just let me take'em out without gloves...
@@2Truth4Liberty First of all, you don't use gloves for coins, and 2nd, as long as you wash your hands there won't be any damage done to the paper.
$10K difference…”I can’t make money on that” 😂
He said 20k on one tops and 20-30k on the other which means 40-50k tops if he even gets 40k at auction he also has to pay fees so he might make 2 grand. 35k was fair
Nah, those bills are worth considerably more than that, if they were graded...If a bill is not graded, an "appraiser" can lower the market value...It's morons like that seller that keep the pawn shop in business. A extra $200 in grading, would have got him the extra 10k...
@@burtburt2263 Yup, grading is the key
Just like in sports cards, comics, collectibles, Pokemon etc...
A graded item sells considerably more than ones not graded
So $35,000.10?
Rick: get out of my shop.
One of the only times Rick offered his customer a price that’s fair and actually makes sense 😂😂
It’s crazy when people come in there without getting a grade.
Gonna get lowballed every time.
Gonna get a perfectly acceptable price to expect from a place that has to resell them. You want to get top dollar, then go auction them yourself.
Auction will charge about 25 percent in fees. People on here like to act that it works like ebay. No high profile auctions take months to setup then just because you got a bid doesn't mean they pay immediately. The auction house has to collect the payment which can take a month or more. Then you pay taxes. There's a reason these guys are going to a pawn shop.
In case you're wondering why he isn't wearing gloves. When dealing with fragile paper and books you typically would wash your hands and not use gloves because the gloves would leave residue behind. People used to use gloves but now it is accepted that it's actually worse so now washing your hands is the standard.
hottoast16 plus they gotta know if it’s printed on the right kinda paper
@@kevinmyers8643 well you can usually tell by just looking at fake paper Bill's lol, the print always looks different in some type of way, either stretched or smooshed a little bit and the edges feather and tear WAY more that an official note, idk how good people are at making false notes nowadays but theres always some type of hidden image on US Federal Reserve notes that you can only see when you hold it up to a light...those are extremely hard to fake that's why the higher the value gets the crazier the design is the littlest mistake on a fake bills design can blow its cover
No gloves by the “expert?” What about oil from his fingers?
I'd imagine with paper currency that old it's just not realistic to find notes untouched by human hands for one hundred years. What distinguishes the absolute best from just below it is almost definitely something far more substantial than whether someone held it.
Even if the guy wasn't really a certified expert, he should've had some thin cloth gloves to protect the antique currency.
It would also look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more professional and believable.
They look pristine for being a 100 years old idk how he grades them so low
Cause papper money is rarely pristine if preowned only prestine papper money is that fresh of the press and then sold as collectibles.
@@krakatoa4747 nobody asked, he wanted to tell us, who asked for your response?
"Can I disagree without being disagreeable?" Honestly I respected that
It always amazes me that this so called expert touches "incredibly rare" currency worth $50K with his bare hands...
Maybe it’s his way to find out if the notes are genuine or if they’re reconditioned by feeling them.
If your hands are forensically clean it shouldn't be a problem. Wash your hands and check under a UV light, and repeat the process until you can't see any more dirt. It's the same thing nurses need to do.
He went from 50 to 40. Miiiisssstaaaakee. Should have gone to like 47 and then seen what Rick said to that
Really cool notes. Dude got pretty close to what he wanted. Was fun to watch. Great video
When Rick gets his items restored: the items sell more expensive. While a customer's restored item sells cheaper ... because it was restored...
To be fair, he likely has access to people who can restore things non-destructively as to either not hurt or minimize any lossnof value whereas the average person does not have such resources.
Rick, 500$ In 1882 is $12,500 today. Not a year or two of salary. That's because the inflation rate was zero in the 1800s.
$500 in gold in 1882 is worth far more than 12.5 today. A gold certificate was literally a promise to give the bearer the face value amount in gold, in this case $500
No commercials, no switching to other potential buys, love it.
Customer: I want-
Rick: LET ME CALL MY GUY, HE SPECIALIZES IN THIS!
When Rick was laughing his head off, the seller looked like he was going to pass out on the floor !!!! Lol !!!!
😂😂😂
“Well, 500+ 500, so that’s one thousand. That’s the best I can do.”
Customer: Hi
Rick: *laughs uncontrollably* hahhshshshshshsh
I am blown away how much Rick knows about what seems like everything, his knowledge on how many old the 500 dollar gold notes exist on earth for example is amazing. Then someone shows up with pokemon and he can't even say it hahahahah
@@BlackQueenNetwork No, it's that Rick is a pawnbroker and these notes are highly valuable.
people that deal in buying and selling for a living tend to, you know. keep track of valuable items and their relative stats, especially in areas they do a lot of trading in(like currency)
Rick has been doing this for decades, of course he's going to have basic working knowledge of stuff like this. it doesn't need to be scripted to make it believable that he'd be able to recognize very valuable items.
It’s a tv show they tell him all about the item people are bringing in before they bring it in so he knows what to say
Rick (Every time) - "I gotta put them in Auction and that has fee's."
Seller - Fineeeee...
Love how the expert squeezes the plastic currency holder to pick it up, potentially creating a bend in the note. Would have been easier and safer to use a fingernail to gently lift it up. Takes it out of the holder, talks over it, bits of saliva land on it, oils on the fingers are pressed into the paper. Never do this with rare stamps or photographs either.
Am surprised authenticator wears no gloves, uses no magnifying glass to look at fine prints and seem careless for a $50k worth of historical bills.
MAC Stone it’s because he’s an absolute fraud, just like all the crooks that work in that pawn shop and every other pawn shop.
@@ryane6545 No it's because it's all staged, rick already bought it beforehand. Otherwise, the buyer wouldn't let him pick it up.
The reason the expert is not wearing gloves is because he has to feel the quality of the paper, and he has feel the paper Incase there are any modifications. And gloves make it easier for the paper to tear.
Did he just take the currency out with his bare hands?
People say this all the time, but washed and very dry hands are better than gloves. The friction from gloves can actually damage things.
"Can I disagree without being disagreeable"
I never heard someone say it like that before in all of my time
A note that old, rare and expensive and he flaps if around with his bare hands... 😑
Freshly washed hands is how i handle my controllers to keep them from getting greasy lol
@@bookshelffury Then you're not a real gamer. A real gamers gets Cheeto dust and Mountain Dew droplets mixed with sweat all over his controller during a twelve hour gaming session. And then leaves the controller unattended for until the next session.
Rick: "I'll give you $1,000"
Owner: "That seems low"
Rick: "They both say their worth $500 so..."
Expert: I just took a massive dump and didn't wipe, do you mind if I take this really rare note out of the plastic?
I watched this expert few times he always make customers cry. And he make shop owner so happy.
Did NOT think he was gonna take that deal the way he was shaking his head lol
He should have asked for an extra $1000 because hes technically $1000 poorer
Any currency authenticator should NEVER touch a note with their bare hands.
It is actually fine unless the note's paper is somehow damaged. Although it is a lot better to handle it with gloves on.
Harrison Levin Google it, The official way to handle paper currency is freshly washed hands. While wearing gloves you cant feel the texture and are more likely to cause tears
KnockOutGlitchazzzHD I use microfiber gloves. There thin enough to still feel the texture of the note, and they don’t transfer oil.
I've always loved this show. Watched it for years. The fact tho that people wanna take in anything, let alone highly valuable objects and think they're gonna get what they want..... That's hysterical 😁
The way he shakes his head I thought he will say No 😂
This particular customer is pretty good on his asking prices, he should be one of the "experts".
2:04 There's a significant bend in the middle of the note that I just put there, so I'm going to have to take off on the value.
There's auction fees, framing that's gotta be done, there's no money to be made at 40, I'll do 35 and not one penny more. Always whining about the same old crap.
Funny part was the end when he said he's just going to leave the money in the bank in Las Vegas lol
He got me at the end, shaking his head no while saying yes
Think about it, there genuine.. and G and S doesn’t need the money ASAP.. makes sense to pay 35K for
Those 1918 high denomination bills were really great. The artwork on the back of the bills were fantastic.
I just watched back to back videos with this guy in it, I'm surprised there was no recognition of him
Rick doesnt run for president.....
He walks.
Rick’s laugh sounds like farm equipment that doesn’t want to start.
That Jeff guy has brought in some great stuff...
He got lowballed! Always with the “auction fee” but then they end up selling them for so much more!
Nope, he actually paid too much. If he gets 50k out of them and if the auction fee is 30%, then he'll have made quite literally no money.
The house takes a ton.. Theres also grading fees..which aren't cheap, especially with high value notes. You're looking at 400 to grade both of those
Buddy: Rick did you get the bills.
Rick: yup 35k
Buddy: nice, theyre really worth 100k
One thing that people never thought of is Rick has lots of connections and rich people willing to buy his rare stuff... so he rarely even has to do "Auction" and pay auction fee. So the auction fee is just his card to negotiate and he gets lots lots lots of $$$ from this strategy, great businessman. I would do the same.
Best line ever " It's no money in it"
How nice to be able to just put 35k in the bank account.
Rick: I cant make money for something that is worth 50K and selling it for 50K
Other guy: How bout 40K?
Rick: I cant make money at 40K either ...
smh
$35,000 is not a fair offer. That's almost the price of one.
*Rick:* _buy one get one sale!_
Love how the “experts” are always available to quickly come down to the shop. Meanwhile when you or I call someone, it always goes to voicemail.
they don’t show the wait time because we would be bored for an hour plus
00:28 is all of us 😐
I have the cure for cancer
Ric - “I’ll give you $2 and one of Chum’s turds and I’m taking a huge risk here”
The way he shakes his head
I thought he'll say NO
I ❤️ Rick's laugh🤣
Let me call an expert... He's the guy printed on the bill
Doctor: "rick you need a surgery or you will only have 6 months to live...the surgery will cost 20k"
rick: "best i can do is 6500 and im taking ALL the risk here
doctor: "no rick...im sorry...i cant do that
rick: "alright...well call me in the next 6 months if you change your mind man"
whatever means necessary Rick: “let me call a buddy in to see if this is a reasonable price. He’ll know all about it”
@@DanielTorres-cm9bn if you cant handle the corn this isn't the comment section for you.
Love these guys! Would love to meet them one day 😎
Wow! These look incredible! Great condition to be so old. 😍😍😍
Rick: "I might get 50K out of the bills "
Seller : Can you do 40?"
Rick : "Theres no money in it for me then "
Me : *Than whats 10K?"
He still got 35K which is more than I thought he would get. Usually Rick only offers about half of what it is worth so I was expecting his offer to be somewhere between $20K-$30K.
Customer- "I am dying Rick. Can you call 911?"
Rick- "I can't go more than 9 on this one"
whenever i watch these paper money deals it always reminds me of mr krabs first dollar
Imagine the expert tears those papers apart
Finally stopped giving away hints about the price!
the currency expert is so chilled
The guy at the end with his shirt on inside out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way they treat the notes is so dumb. Watch how he slides the one on the counter.
Because they know each other ripping people's off with fake prices. So later on those people will be rich later on. If I had those I wouldn't have sold them at all. I rather sell them for a higher bidder.
He's just gonna leave it in the bank account. Yeah until the voices start whispering in his head ha ha
Interesting episode 😊
Guy in white shirt is like I'm a
Wait in parking lot
No gloves though..!
Just bizzare.
Ironically it is now recognised practice with old paper in museums etc NOT to wear gloves. With gloves you cant feel the texture and more likely to tear the item.
Freshly washed dry hands are now the official way to handle paper.
Expert: may I take them out of the holder?
Seller: sure
Expert: before I took them out of the holder they were worth 20k a piece, but after I touched them everywhere with my dirty fingers they are worth only 5k a piece.
Seller: thank you I appreciate it.
This dude always looks like he's headed straight to the dope boys house after the pawn shop
Inside out shirt guy at the end lol
How do we know if these experts arent just trying to low appraise these just so Rick scores a better deal
That's pretty much on point.. the experts get a cut as well so setting a price will definitely be low.
Rick: there’s auction fee
I gotta frame it
You seem like a reasonable guy so would you take $50
The only guy ever on the show to not immediately have a plan on how to spend the money he receives.
So much for the " I'm not going below 40k" lol
4:57 did anybody else noticed the guy in the green shirt, wearing his shirt inside out.
They do that when you are filmed on TV. So you do not have any logos.

I was gonna reply the same thing

Naw , they would of used tape over the logos, they guy just being slick

Nope. The guy had an insensitive remark on his shirt so they made him flip it.
It's an expensive shirt and he wants everybody to know it.
