The man was very quick to accept Rick's word that it was fake, he knew it was fake when he walked in.

[everinpanama]

"The D stands for disappointment" that's what she said.

[zoominline]

Passed from generation to generation and finally ended fake coin 🤣🤣,

[erzr]

That guy knew it was fake he was just happy rick didn't call the cops after finding out he was trying to scam rick.

[zulickj]

Despite his story, which I'm sure is mostly legit, based on his reaction....I feel he knew this coin was genuinely not a Denver mint.

[RoyZeed]

That seller definitely knew it was fake there is no way he thought for sure he was going to get hundreds of thousands and only got a smerk of disappointment when rick told him it was fake!

"This is like the holy grail of American coins."

[petepoteet]

That was a good idea to take something so valuable and rare to a pawn shop👍

[HD-fcds]

So he went with a half mil coin in a pawnshop😂😂 Sure

[MikeNolanRecruitment]

“He’s not gonna know”
“He’s gonna know”
“How will he know?”
“He’s gonna know”

Fun fact: actually the rarest coin is the 1933 saint gaudens double eagle. It sold for 18 million dollars in January 2021. Its so rare due to the Gold Confiscation Act mentioned by Rick in the video, and it was never meant to be in circulation. Only 1 of this coin is legal to own, and that is the coin that sold for 18 mil.

[montz]

he had the d added they weren't that expensive in the 40s 50s 60s his mother story and the fact he brought it to a pawn shop is a scammer alert

[wilfordbrimley]

1:43 Rick shocked that someone has a reasonable asking price

[jmanko]

news flash. it wasn't even his coin. producers asked him if he wanted to be on TV. Guy said yes. Gave him the fake coin and let Rick know beforehand. They film and drama drama drama. It makes for good TV.

[Everyday_Railroading]

I have a bitcoin I'm about to take in to Rick to sell. Be on the lookout for the episode on this not so rare but expensive coin!

[lovejetfuel]

If I was the seller id get it checked by three different experts before selling it for 2k

[dakota]

His reaction to it being fake was not genuine.

We are talking about finding out the coins worth going from $500, 000 - $1, 800..

[ewetoobblowzdogg]

If I had a nickle for every time the holy grail walked into that shop, I'd be Rick

[GavinJBerry-kqjq]

Rick: “Best I can do is a handshake and a breath mint.”

[amberanubis]

Rick: Its not a lot of them out there and that makes it so rare.
