today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten coolest items brought in on
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at the most unique and
impressive items brought in on the hit
TV show Pawn Stars it doesn’t matter
whether or not a sale was made on these
items just so long as the item was cool
enough to start up a conversation right
behind all the cops the helicopters
amazing it was very surreal
number 10 BMW of death we started list
off with something a little morbid in
the fifteenth season of Pawn Stars Rick
and Chumlee go to visit a Las Vegas car
dealership called celebrity cars to look
at a special doomed set of wheels the
current question is the BMW in which
rapper Tupac Shakur and Death Row
Records head Suge Knight were driving
when they were attacked on September 7th
1996 Shakur died as a result of the
multiple gunshot wounds he sustained
during the incident
the BMW on the other hand has been
cleaned and fixed up over the years
going through multiple dealers and
auction sites and has been listed by the
dealer moments in time for 1.5 million
dollars I mean the best I can figure is
it’s gonna go between two hundred
thousand or million dollars in an
auction and just sort of depends on the
auction so a lot more than I’m willing
to pay for it but I really appreciate it
no problem thank you very much number
nine Einstein’s equations sometimes Rick
makes a deal and sometimes he doesn’t
this is one of those times when he
simply couldn’t but that doesn’t make
this item any less cool a customer walks
in with a set of mathematical equations
reportedly scribbled down by none other
than Albert Einstein is it signed by him
oh it’s just math that he did I did some
research to actually have his math was
one of the rarest things that you can
get the Pawn Stars crooler excited but
obviously skeptical so they bring in an
expert to authenticate the piece it
turns out that the equations are
actually legit but valued at far less
than the $18,000 asked by the customer I
give you three grand for it I’m gonna
like the most money that makes sense to
me
Rick offers up three grand for the
$5,000 piece but his offers rejected and
Einstein’s equations walk back out
through the door number eight
presidential smokes
the next item on our list is something a
bit special presidential swag the season
7 episode close but no cigar featured a
customer who operated a private Museum
and was looking for some quick cash he
brought in a used humidor or a cigar box
that was previously owned by former US
President John F Kennedy complete with
some vintage unsmoked cigars still
inside haggling between the pair shifted
back and forth between the customers
95,000 asking price and Rick’s 50 grand
with the final agreed-upon price landing
in between at a cool sixty thousand
dollars you got it man
all right be sure right over there and
we’ll do some paperwork okay not bad
money for a bad habit number seven
undersea funds coin collecting is a
hobby that dates back centuries and
still captures the imaginations of many
around the globe
one such collector walked into Rick’s
shop with a very rare piece a 1906 coin
which belonged to John W Gill one of the
deceased passengers from the doomed ship
Titanic the customer had a firm figure
in mind before he even walked through
the doors 125 thousand dollars
unfortunately for him Rick’s expert
pointed out that similar coins had only
sold in the needs to me to $4,000 mark a
price drop for which this coin collector
was unwilling to abide I mean it’s old
spike a year ago 421 there’s no way of
justifying 125 the coin was then listed
on eBay for just under a hundred grand
number six
mysterious money the DB Cooper 727
hijacking is one of the most infamous
unsolved mysteries of all time so when a
customer walks into Rick Harrison’s shop
with a tiny piece of an original $20
bill stolen during the heist it’s a
one-of-a-kind offer the pawnbroker just
can’t let slip away it’s just a weird
market this is one of those things you
just can’t look up in a book how about
$15 bucks the customer had already
authenticated the money fragment with
the PCGS currency grading service so
it’s just up to him Rick and the old man
to agree on a price the owner doesn’t
seem to want to budge on his numbers but
eventually lets the bill go for 1,600
bucks
making Rick the proud new owner of a
small piece of history of all my years
of doing this I’ve never seen anything
like this in the shop ever number five
the Book of Mormon
often times Rick’s customers try to get
one over on the shop when it comes to
price Adam who brings in a 5th edition
the Book of Mormon is not one of those
customers the book was actually among
the last to be printed during Mormon
founder Joseph Smith’s lifetime and is
appraised by book expert Rebecca Romney
at $40,000 oh yeah Adams original asking
price was only 25,000 and to his credit
he doesn’t try and go any higher
instead he actually knocks a grand off
the price since Rick had given him an
extra thousand for a previous
transaction then a great when we can all
get along
number four robosaurus you ever wanted
to drive a real life transformer well
apparently invented malla wiki did or
else he wouldn’t have created robosaurus
a 48 footlong semi truck that can
transform into a gigantic fire-breathing
the creation has made appearances in
multiple media over the years but
robosaurus was actually offered up to
the boys at Gold & Silver Pawn Shop for
a cool million bucks
holy did he just used the M word
although a deal wasn’t struck this still
has to be one of those visually
impressive and memorable items to ever
appear on the show
number three John Hancock’s John Hancock
sure John Hancock is accepted slang for
a signature today but what happens when
someone brings in a signed document from
the actual John Hancock this first
season episode of Pawn Stars dealt with
exactly that unique scenario when a
customer brought in the frame document
dating back to the 1700s which is
supposed to contain the actual signature
a founding father John Hancock you have
to look at the paper that it’s written
on that’s absolutely critical that it’s
the correct paper of the period and
correctly manufactured writ calls in an
expert to authenticate the piece and the
results are positive this is the real
deal this is absolutely consistent with
it being authentic and correct
unfortunately Rick and the customer
couldn’t reach a deal of their own and
the piece walked out the door number two
the white Bronco we already mentioned to
pecks BMW and our next pick is another
infamous vehicle from an equally
infamous murder case the ride in
question is the white Bronco from the OJ
Simpson case the 1992 Ford Bronco
belonged to Simpson’s friend al cowlings
and was used in a Jays low-speed chase
which captured the attention of a nation
you know it’s that weird bit of pop
history the shop was offered the BALCO
by former Simpson agent Mike Gilbert
with an asking price of over a million
dollars think about it
it’s a warren of a kind Rick was unsure
as to the resale value of the piece and
he refused leaving the Bronco to ride
away slowly for another day number one
dinosaur eggs we top our list with
perhaps one of the most deflating price
drops in Pawn Stars history for one of
the coolest items no less a customer
walked in the shop with a pair of
fossilized dinosaur eggs with the hopes
of cashing in her big dreams to the tune
of $20,000 because there are actually
tens of thousands of these eggs on the
international market today unfortunately
after quarry big Hoss Harrison calls in
an expert to price the prehistoric eggs
actual market value of the eggs is only
placed at a few hundred dollars each
still Hass offers up 500 bucks after a
bit of haggling and the ancient fossils
become a part of gold and silver
pawnshops extensive inventory do you
