A shilling was actually worth more than a loaf of bread in the 1600's. Bread would have been only a few pence. This was about a days pay for skilled labor. About $8 in today's money.

[@bradwest8939]

I think what's worth more then the coin is this rare footage of Rick actually giving someone a fair deal.

[@tmilesffl]

Then don't sell to a pawn shop. They are in business to make money.

[@cryptidproductions3160]

It's a super rare artifact in unusually great shape that's already PGA graded and not taking up much room in the shop. So he'll have no trouble sitting on it for a while and making the upper-range of $400k-$500k off of it

[@dancalmpeaceful3903]

I would agree....

[@pole_barn_builder]

When you have a graded early colonial coin worth upwards of 400k, you take it to reputable auction house. You dont call in a pawn broker from Vegas to haggle with you.

[@df3kt]

If you want the money right away you do

[@lambourghini350gt]

the problem with an auction house is the seller might have to wait many months, possibly even over a year before he can sell it. The other problem is an auction house will take a significant amount of the money from the sale, Ive heard of some auction houses that take as much as 33% which is insane. So what's really better: sell the coin now for $250,000 in cash, or wait a year to sell it for maybe $400,000 at an auction and only actually pocket about $268,000 after losing 33% of the sale to the auction house?
