13. Misrepresented Civil War items (Season 6, Episode 8)

A customer came to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with things he swore were genuine Civil War artifacts. Rick was first enthused over them for their historical significance and paid big money because he was so excited. After speaking with a historian, it turned out that these were post-production copies made to look old.

The seller, very astute, used Rick's love for history to sell him useless items for a lot of money. Having the power to communicate with the seller later, Rick still could not get his money back because the seller would not come back to the shop.
