His wife and that garden got along famously

[johnsweeney]

AFTER THE SCOTCH BRITE SCRUB, WHY NOT TAKE A FILE TO IT? THANKS WIFE.

[lurchlogan]

Rick always sounds like an Angry Father when he says "Where did you get this"???
😂😂

[dfrost]

If you stop it at 1:45 you can read the full date 1894

[mikelxanadu]

“I’m really disappointed it wasn’t real, I just-“
“MR. BROWN AND I GOT ALONG FAMOUSLY”

[kennethb]

1.  He wasn't paying off a house, he was looking to blow it all at the casino 2.  His wife didn't find this in the garden and 3. He knew it wasn't the real deal and tried to scam Rick

[numanuma]

Most important rules as a collector or selling a coin: Never clean a coin and never touch a coin without wearing gloves except in the case of ancient coins. Also, never put a coin in plastic with PVC as it can give the coin green slime.

Mr. Brown and that garden got along famously, he got that time with his own hands.

[medgasguy]

He must have known that it was fake when NGC couldn't authenticate it. Usually I pull for the customer in these episodes and I'm rarely glad when it looked like Rick smacked the $400K right off of that guy's face.

[GenosGlory]

Always feels bad when someone wants to pay off their property but it turns out it’s nothing. The scratching of the coin like that even though fake its just WOW lol.

[Rsalz]

I love people’s asking price for things like this. They find something that’s worth a lot of money if it’s in good condition. But they bring in something like this that’s on the edge of being worthless and ask for the same amount of money. Then they get mad that they’re offering next to nothing.

[MrNick-]

OK
Really? That's it? You think you're sitting on 400, 000 dollars and all you say is "OK" ?
HAHA

[Waterlooplein]

As a kid collecting coins I had a buffalo nickle with an uncertain date. I put a commercial product on it, an acid probably, that brought the date out. Then I learned it devalues the coin. The date on that coin went from 1897 to 1898 to vague 1894.

[baldilocks]

Ricks hands look like they were eatin by weebles

[hatednyc]

"Paid my mortgage off for a dime"

[karaDee]

I don't understand how he could have thought he had the real thing when he was never able to read the last number, that sounds more like just wishful thinking

[bloodknot]

there is a very mild acid product that brings out hard to read lettering and dates for silver coins and does not hurt value if used properly.

[Rayray-zuhd]

Came in with champagne wishes and caviar dreams, left with 10 c

[ThereLights]

bruh... why did i lowkey get a heart attack when he said "its gone forever"

[bbpoltergeist]

He caught the coin himself, but it didn't have the full date engraved on it. I guess Mr Brown did not get along famously with it
