Pawn Stars: 1894 S Barber Dime | History

[@realazduffman]

"I'd like to get $400,000" "I'd like Rebecca to marry me. Lets see who get luckier"

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

The 1894-S dime is a proof only issue. Meaning the 1894-S dime is not meant for circulation. I highly doubt anybody would find one digging in a garden.

[@michaelh.8280]

I've found coins that were proof only strikes in flower beds, backyards, school yards..just about everywhere in 38 years of swinging a metal detector.

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

​@@michaelh.8280 I HIGHLY doubt it. You misunderstood what I meant by "proof only" strike. A "proof only" coin is different from a typical proof coin. "Proof only" coins only exist as proofs, with no business strike examples. For example, the 1895 Morgan dollar was only produced as a proof. The 1895 Morgan dollar was not issued for circulation. Many "proof only" coins are patterns, prototypes, or experimental strikes. "Proof only" coins were often made in secret or were gifted to high ranking Mint employees and politicians. For example, the 1804 dollar was presented to foreign diplomats. These are not coins that can be found in flower beds. Call me if you ever find a School Girl dollar.......

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

@@Bandit1978 Hey Ted, are you a numismatist? I don't think so. According to PCGS Coinfacts, only 24 exist. As I said earlier, the 1894-S dime is a "proof only" issue. The dimes would be given to influential people like Mint directors, politicians, and notable collectors. No million dollar US coin has ever been dug from the ground. The most valuable US coins are sold from the estates of wealthy individuals. Almost every time a collector dies, their entire collection is put to auction by their descendents. You can't compare a 1894-S dime to your grandparents old coins. Most people who watch Pawn Stars are clueless about coins. Most people on the Internet are clueless about coins. Yet you guys think you know more about coins than an actual collector like myself. The collective ignorance in the comments section is astounding.

[@orlandotheman8245]

The big tip he knew it was a fake when he said NGC couldn't tell what date it was and didn't graded it it's not genuine the top 3 PCGS,NGC and ANACS all will not grade a fake.

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

@@orlandotheman8245 Finally an intelligent, well thought out comment!

[@izzywavvy4300]

I’ve been watching to many of these and I’ve came to the realization that every old coin is one of the rarest coins out there

[@unacceptablecodyberg1402]

Somehow, you nor, I have never found one. 🤣

[@Ramdileo_sys]

Well, if it was a common one, they will not make a video about it.. it was a real paid TV show.. not a tiktok video..

[@KVDC2008]

If NGC couldn't even certify that this coin was the real thing, then Rick was smart enough not to buy it. A coin that expensive has to be certified by NGC or PCGS, otherwise it can easily be a fake.

[@cortlandmass]

Idk why but his smile throughout the video was strange. Kinda seemed like he knew something wasn’t right

[@wedeldylan]

They're acting so they both knew it was fake

[@TheBaldCroatian]

I know it's worth 25k, best I can do is a $50 gift certificate to McDonald's and a cab ride with Chum.

[@tommyg879]

I'll take it!

[@Clearanceman2]

Got to split fare with Chum.

[@Recoil816]

Poor guy. You can hear the enormous let-down when he says "ok".

[@honorewillens5794]

At 2:17 I think I can see a faded 4 but I’m not sure

[@zackjones8556]

The markings look more like a 5

[@hutchensj225]

Go to 1:14 I see a 4.

[@derrickforeal]

Like a 6

[@seanyager3177]

It does look like a 4 to me too.. But the fact that he found it in his garden and with the number of them that were created and the probability that not just any old person would have ever been in possession of one , the chances would have been astronomical that it would be real.

[@fatmanjumprope]

You can kinda see what appears to be a loop on the lower portion of the missing number. I was thinking possibly an 8 or maybe a 6.

[@Kaynos]

It's even more rare it's an 189 AD Dime !

[@Andrux0821]

Kaynos minted in San Francisco before the mint even existed which makes it even more rare

[@doglips1958]

She scrubbed it with a Scotchbrite pad because we didn't have any gravel...

[@wolfattack402000]

or sandpaper

[@kingjames4886]

"I have this item I'd like to sell." "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!"

[@armybeef68]

2:16 I can see 1894 perfectly fine.

[@ronaldtreitner1460]

i thought i saw a faint outline of a 4

[@jinsunha9475]

When the date is gone, it does play some mind tricks. It appears to be like that but reality is not. Also, it’s really hard for proof coins worn out like that so it has slick chance of being 1894

[@CoinCollecter-uh1uw]

You can faintly see… you seeing the 4 is seeing what you want to see

[@seanyager3177]

"I wish it was real." ... "Me too." Lol I thought that guy was gonna have a panic attack right then and there. Look at how upset he is in the end interview..

[@darykinnaman2319]

When you find a coin and it looks rare, the first thing you should do is scrub it with sandpaper. Please, just leave it in the ground.

[@ShaNaNa242]

What? No

[@beezewax3701]

Being a coin collector, I know what that feels like getting your hopes up. 😭

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

same bro

[@williamwilson6499]

I have 1000 silver dimes so just went through them...two Barber heads, but 1906 with no mint mark (worn off) and 1911 D.

[@northerniltree]

Yah, my wife cleaned it with an oxyacetylene torch.

[@alanlamando6667]

Coins are struck, not printed and why did the seller think that Mr. Harrison would buy a coin that was rejected by NGC?

[@markamark123]

He brought in a 1894 F Dime.

[@growandgame]

His wife is a real gem

[@bobsacamano5334]

Deepest scratches just happened to be where the 4 should be.

[@dennispaulsen2408]

You do not "Print" coins. You "Mint" or "Strike" coins.

[@-oiiio-3993]

Correct.

[@mmerca]

He was just trying to scam Rick :))

[@The_Mysterious_Saiyan]

You can tell that guy killed someone for that coin. Its not his. His face says it all “i did all that for nothing” Lmao

[@robertjohnson2786]

Go to EXACTLY 1:47 in this video. You can SEE the 4 if you look hard at it.

[@CoinCollecter-uh1uw]

Yea if you squint your eyes hard enough XD

[@Viper0hr]

Man, pausing the video you can see a line arch that is clearly either a 4 or 7 through the wear. I'm surprised there is no way to compare it or prove even with that level of damage.

[@bruceanderson7762]

Most likely there is, but these people lack skills, knowledge, and perseverance to attempt such tasks...or...just maybe it's scripted?

[@robertbright2057]

You are absolutely correct if you look hard enough you can see what appears to be an outline of the number 4.

[@penguinboy4296]

0:12 Rick already knows it’s fake

[@myfingershurt3489]

Everytime he sees a coin he always says the same thing of most expensive American coins

[@stoneyswolf]

I guess you can assume that last number is whatever you want when half a million is a possibility.

He had a smirk on his face, until he found out it wasn't real.

[@jlord8179]

He knew it wasn't real.

[@revcapitle8268]

It's very clear its an 1896 S.

I can see maybe guessing 1894 but he had to have seen the price for an S issue and decided that’s what he had.

[@chiefpontiac1800]

No, she scrubbed $399,999.99 off of the coin.

[@louspowels7120]

1:48 & 2:10 I can see 1890 or 1896 2:16 looks like 1896 or 1898

[@patricioungaro3382]

So, how much are the other barber dimes S from the 1890’s? It’s for sure from 1890 to 1899. But most collectors still don’t want a scrubbed coin.

[@mrig6sic617]

I can see the 4 in 1894..it's barely visible but it's there...

[@chadibouaazzi3364]

2:10 it’s an 1896 coin

[@jamesbancroft2467]

I’m an Aspie so I can’t read people very well, but in certain moments the seller looks weird, like when he’s smirking or smiling-something seems off about him

[@davidho2977]

afaik I'm not an Aspie, but I don't think I read people well either.
