While there are many things happening behind the scenes, let’s talk about all of the unusual items that have been brought into the Pawnshop? Even better, how much did they cost? Next time you’re out at a garage sale and spot some coins, do not ignore them. When a woman brought in her inherited gold coin, she knew it was old and must have some value.
When the experts came in, she was not expecting their evaluation. The lucky lady discovered the coin dated 1715 and was first issued in Peru. It was valued at $18,000!
That's A Weird Thing...
Someone actually dropped off some Japanese adult books. And this wasn't just anyone's Japanese raunchy adult magazines either, it's quite the opposite.

Corey Got In Trouble For Public Urination
Corey Harrison and some of his friends took a motorcycle trip through Missouri before ending up in Jefferson City. As we would expect, Harrison and his crew got inebriated which led to some bad decisions and one very awkward photo. Harrison relieved himself publically and wasn’t bothered by this.
A few weeks later Harrison did finally realize his fault and made a public apology for the unwise act.
The Book of Mormon
This is not the hit Broadway play that we're talking about. This was the 5th edition of the Book of Mormon, which was printed back in 1842 and is the final one that was printed during the founder Joseph Smith’s lifetime.
When an expert assessed the book, they found it bore a $40,000 value. The guys from the store ended up paying $24,000 for it.
1500’s Spanish Gold Bar
Most attics are bound to hold certain treasures. Once a man found a golden bar that he assumed was solid gold but he wasn't for sure. Once a specialist examined the bar, he found that it was from a 1554 Spanish shipwreck off the Southern coast.
The Pawn Stars ended up buying the gold bar for $35,000!
