RICK VOLÓ A BOSTON por ESTA MONEDA — $700,000 por la PRIMERA MONEDA de las COLONIAS AMERICANAS

RICK FLEW TO BOSTON FOR THIS COIN — $700,000 FOR THE FIRST COIN OF THE AMERICAN COLONIES Some things are worth flying for. And the first coin minted in the American colonies definitely justifies crossing the entire country. Rick Harrison flew to Boston because someone had a 1652 New England Shilling — the absolute genesis of American monetary history, the holy grail of colonial numismatics — in a practically miraculous state of preservation because people back then would clip coins little by little until almost nothing was left. This one was intact. They agreed on $250,000. But that wasn't the only epic moment. You'll also see the 1702 silver 750 rupees minted by the son of the man who built the Taj Mahal, recovered from the ocean floor by Arthur C. Clarke and documented in two books before he even started writing science fiction—the seller was asking $700,000 and Rick offered $200,000. No deal. There's also the 1792 Half Dime that Thomas Jefferson personally bought—1,500 pieces that he spent on his way back to Monticello—accompanied by an American Libertas that Benjamin Franklin commissioned in France in 1781 and helped design. Rick paid $150,000 for the Half Dime alone. 00:00 Introduction 00:20 — Titanic Coin 1906 02:24 — Red Sox Ring 2004 Brandon Puffer 05:00 — Nintendo WC Cartridges 1990 07:10 — Pink Hot Wheels 1969 09:48 — Golden Stele 1879 11:04 — New England Shilling 1652 13:59 — Taj Mahal Coins 1702 16:08 — Escudo de Lima, Peru 16:37 — Roman Brothel Token 2000 Years 19:03 — Half Dime 1792 Jefferson + American Liberty Franklin 21:21 — Teddy Roosevelt Coin
