"Pawn Stars"의 Rick Harrison은 주목할만한 협상가로 알려져 있으며 품목의 소유자가 요청 가격을 낮추기 위해 노력합니다.
"This isn’t just a regular gold coin. Its backstory is quite interesting and mired in controversy. The coin was made by popular American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1904 when President Theodore Roosevelt put him up to the task. Roosevelt believed that the current currency of the time made Lady Liberty look like someone’s “grandma,” according to Harrison. However, the coin did not have the words ‘in God we trust’ as was the norm back then. Not having those words inscribed on the coin was not well received by a population that was still very religious. Rick then revealed that Congress passed a small law in 1908 and brought those words back to their currency, putting this particular gold coin out of production. The no motto double eagle coin is considered to be highly valuable by collectors.
"이것은 단순한 금화가 아닙니다. 그 배경 이야기는 매우 흥미롭고 논쟁의 여지가 있습니다. 동전은 1904 년 Theodore Roosevelt 대통령이 그를 임무에 올릴 때 인기있는 미국 조각가 Augustus Saint-Gaudens에 의해 만들어졌습니다. Roosevelt는 현재의 통화가 누군가의"할아버지 "처럼 보인다고 믿었습니다. 그런 다음, 동전에 새겨 져 있지 않은 것은 여전히 매우 종교적인 인구에 의해 잘 받아 들여지지 않았다.
Harrison still wasn’t sure of how much the coin was worth, so he called in an expert to help him with that. Sanford Mann, CEO of American Hartford Gold, walked into the store, and he too was charmed upon seeing the coin. "These coins were minted in Philadelphia, and they only minted 361,000 of these coins. And we speculate there’s about 50,000 that are still left in existence that were uncirculated,” he said.
해리슨은 여전히 동전이 얼마나 가치가 있는지 확신하지 못했기 때문에 전문가에게 그를 도와달라고 요청했습니다. American Hartford Gold의 CEO 인 Sanford Mann은 가게로 들어갔고 동전을보고 매료되었습니다. "이 동전은 필라델피아에서 발행되었으며, 그들은이 동전 중 361,000 개만 힌트를 냈습니다.
Being the subject of public outrage in the previous century isn’t the only thing that makes these coins special. People kept them long after they were taken out of circulation since they were made of gold. However, in 1933, the US government made the possession of gold illegal for its citizens. That’s when people started hiding them from the authorities just to stop them from being confiscated.
지난 세기에 대중의 분노의 주제가되는 것만이 동전을 특별하게 만드는 유일한 것은 아닙니다. 사람들은 금으로 만들어진 이후 순환에서 벗어난 후 오랫동안 그들을 지켰습니다. 그러나 1933 년 미국 정부는 시민들에게 금을 불법적으로 소유했다. 그때 사람들이 압수당하는 것을 막기 위해 당국에서 숨기기 시작했습니다.
"Somebody actually probably hid this in a wall or a floorboard, believe it or not. And that’s what people were doing to not get their gold confiscated," Mann explained. It was then time for him to put a price on it. "A similar coin to this, an MS-68, just sold at auction for $218,000." Rick’s heart sank when he heard this. "But unfortunately, this is not an MS-68."
Mann은“누군가가 실제로 벽이나 바닥 판에 이것을 숨겼을 것입니다. 믿거 나 말거나 사람들이 금을 압수하지 않기 위해하고있는 일입니다. 그때 그가 가격을 책정 할 시간이었습니다. "이와 비슷한 동전 인 MS-68은 경매에서 218,000 달러에 판매되었습니다." 릭의 마음은 이것을 들었을 때 침몰했다. "그러나 불행히도 이것은 MS-68이 아닙니다."
Mann said that it was an MS-63 coin worth $4000. The guest was excited upon hearing this and asked for $3800. Rick said that he was okay with $3000, and the guest found that agreeable. It was still three times more than what she expected to get for it.
Mann은 $ 4000의 MS-63 코인이라고 말했다. 손님은 이것을 듣고 흥분했고 $ 3800를 요구했습니다. Rick은 자신이 3000 달러로 괜찮다고 말했고 손님은 그 사실을 알게되었습니다. 그녀가 기대했던 것보다 여전히 세 배나 많았습니다.
