Ramp up with the Pawn Stars when a Line Drive Pinball Machine bumps into the shop. Will Corey get the high score, or will it be game over? Then, don't count Rick out when he checks out an 1895 Morgan Dollar. Known as the "King of all Morgan Dollars", will it be worth every penny or will this coin break the bank? And later, when Chum takes over a shift at Corey's new bar, will he use this opportunity to call the shots or will it be closing time?
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.
