Pawn Stars Season 7 Episode 19 Funny Money

In Pawn Stars season 7 episode 19, titled "Funny Money," the team at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is back at it again with more exciting discoveries. This episode focuses on the art of counterfeiting, as the team is presented with a variety of items that challenge their expertise and ability to spot a fake.

First up, a customer brings in a collection of silver coins that he inherited from his grandfather, including several Morgan dollars and Peace dollars. But the coins raise red flags for Corey, as they appear to be too new and shiny to be from the early 1900s as claimed. He calls in expert coin grader, Joe, to help determine if they are authentic or fake.

Next, a man brings in a vintage Montgomery Ward radio that he purchased at a garage sale. The radio looks like it's from the 1930s, but the team is skeptical since it is in pristine condition and still works perfectly. They suspect that it might be a reproduction made to look old and valuable.

In another segment, a customer walks in with a rare 1886 silver certificate, which is a type of U.S. currency that was once commonly used. The bill is unusual because it features a portrait of General George Meade, who is not a well-known historical figure. The team wonders if the bill is authentic or a clever fake.

The team also deals with a large collection of vintage Superman comic books, which are highly sought after by collectors. As always, the team's comic book expert, Brett, takes a look at the collection and offers his insights on value and rarity.

Finally, a customer brings in a highly detailed model car that was custom made by a company called Minichamps. The car is a replica of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT with intricate details, including real rubber tires and a fully functional steering wheel. The team marvels at the craftsmanship and expertly assesses its value for selling in their shop.

Throughout the episode, the team remains vigilant in their quest to detect fake items such as counterfeit coins and vintage radios that are not what they seem. With expert analysis and a keen eye for detail, they provide fascinating insights into the world of collecting and the challenges of spotting a fake.
