Take your best shot with the Pawn Stars when Rick frames up a signed print of Ansel Adams' famous photograph; "Monolith, The Face of Half Dome". Can he successfully capture this rare picture or will he lose his focus? Then, Rick tries to cash in when a 1791 one-cent coin is brought into the shop. Will Rick pay a pretty penny or will he come to his senses? And later, Corey notices that Rick keeps taking his things. Will Corey let it go or will he take back what's his?
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.
