Rick Harrison met a seller who came claiming to have rare coins from many historical times. Being excited about how much they might be worth, Rick bought them for $20,000 before looking at the coins.

Most of them turned out to be common copies instead of valuable collectibles as the seller had claimed when he displayed them to Rick. This incident highlighted the importance of expertise in coin evaluation and left Rick with significant financial losses.
