Break the bank with the Pawn Stars and look back at some of the priciest items in the shop's history: a $70,000 Panama Pacific gold coin from 1915, a Hydro Jetpack that sends Corey sky high, rare artwork from graffiti sensation Keith Haring and an exclusive Hertz Penske GT Mustang with an $85,000 asking price that has Rick burning rubber.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
