GOING
GOING TO
GOING TO KICK IT OFF WITH THE WIDOW'S MITE COIN.
MIKE, SO NICE TO BE
WITH YOU TONIGHT AND
SO THRILLED WE GET
TO DO A FULL TWO
HOUR PRIMETIME SHOW
TOGETHER.
I LOVE HEARING YOUR
STORIES AND AGAIN,
IT'S SO INTERESTING
WHETHER YOU'RE NEW
TO COIN COLLECTING
OR MAYBE YOU JUST
WANT TO ADD TO THE
COLLECTION YOU
ALREADY HAVE.
ALREADY HAVE. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THANKS LOVE BEING HERE AS ALWAYS.
AND THE FIRST COIN
THAT STARTING WITH
HERE I GUESS THE
THING I HAVE TO SAY
ANY TIME WE AIR THIS
COIN IS I'M JUST
GOING TO START WITH
THE OBVIOUS.
YES.
IT'S REAL AND PEOPLE
JUST HAVE THEIR A
HARD TIME KIND OF
WRAPPING THEIR HEAD
AROUND THE FACT THAT
THIS IS A TOOTH
THOUSAND YEAR OLD
COIN.
IT'S ACTUALLY OVER
TWO THOUSAND I THINK
BE CERTIFIED BECAUSE
IT HAS TO BE
GUARANTEED.
IT HAS TO YOU HAVE
TO KNOW THE
PROVENANCE OF THESE
COINS BECAUSE
UNCERTIFIED WIDOW'S
MITES ARE SOLD AND
THEY'RE ALMOST
ALWAYS COUNTERFEIT
NOT ALWAYS BUT MOST
OF THE TIME THEY'RE
COUNTERFEIT.
THIS IS THE COIN
THAT THEY SPEAK OF
SPECIFICALLY IN THE
BIBLE AND WE'VE
QUOTED THE BIBLE
VERSES THERE THAT
YOU HAVE WITH MARK
12 CHAPTERS 40 ONE
THROUGH 44 LUKE 21
CHAPTERS ONE THROUGH
FOUR WHERE THEY
SPEAK OF THE PARABLE
OF THE WIDOW'S
MIGHT.
WE WERE ABLE TO GET
A DECENT QUANTITY OF
THESE.
WE HAD ABOUT FOUR
HUNDRED OF THEM COME
IN.
YOU CAN SEE HAVE
ALREADY SOLD ONE
HUNDRED AND THIRTY
THREE OF THEM
BETWEEN HERE AND HSN
SO THAT WHEN THIS
COMES IN YOU CAN OWN
THIS PART AND PARCEL
OF HISTORY FOR THOSE
OF YOU THAT PERHAPS
ARE UNFAMILIAR THE
PARABLE OF THE
WIDOW'S MITE IS AS
JESUS SITS IN THE
TEMPLE PEOPLE ARE
MAKING OFFERINGS IN
THE TEMPLE ARE THE
RICH AND THE
POWERFUL AND THEY'RE
COMING AND GIVING
ALL THESE THINGS AND
THE WIDOW KIND OF
SNUCK UP AND LOOKED
AROUND AND JUST KIND
OF QUIETLY PUT IN
TWO OF THESE SMALL
COPPER COINS WHICH
BECAME KNOWN AS THE
WIDOWS MIND AND
HE CAME OUT AND
HE SAYS LOOK, YOU
KNOW, YOU GUYS GAVE
OF YOUR ABUNDANCE
BUT SHE GAVE
EVERYTHING THAT SHE
HAD AND SO THAT WAS
THE PARABLE OF THE
WIDOWS MIND AND THIS
IS THIS WOULD BE A
COIN SIMILAR TO THE
ONE THAT SHE WOULD
HAVE CAST INTO THE
TREASURY AT THAT
TIME AND THESE WERE
VERY RELATIVELY
COMMON BACK THEN.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE,
THE SIZE IS VERY
SMALL ARE EASY TO
LOSE OVER THE COURSE
OF TWO TWO MILLENNIA
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE WITH THIS.
THEY ARE CERTIFIED
TO BE AUTHENTIC BY
GNG AS YOU CAN SEE
AND THAT'S A GREAT
THING.
PUT THOSE SIDE BY
SIDE IF YOU COULD
TURN IT BACK OVER
YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE
ALL A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT.
THESE ARE STRUCK BY
HAND SO THEY'RE
GOING TO BE KIND OF
DIFFERENT SIZES.
I MEAN THIS IS JUST
THE TINIEST THE TINY
LITTLE UNIT OF
MONETARY EXCHANGE
THAT YOU HAVE HERE.
SO IT WAS JUST A
LITTLE PIECE OF OF
BRONZE THAT WAS PUT
UP THERE AND THEN
THEY SMASHED IT WITH
A WITH A KIND OF A
DYE AND A HAMMER.
THEY WERE ALL HANDS
STRUCK BACK THEN TWO
THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
SO THEY ALL VARY BY
KIND OF SHAPE AND
SIZE.
THESE CAME OUT OF AN
ARCHEOLOGICAL DIG IN
THE MIDDLE EAST.
I THINK THIS CAME
OUT OF ISRAEL AS A
MATTER OF FACT AND
WE WERE ABLE TO GET
SOME INTO THE
COUNTRY FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
THE THE IMPORT LAWS
HAVE CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY
REGARDING THESE
REGARDING THESE
TREASURES AND
THEY'RE
EXTRAORDINARILY FAR
MORE DIFFICULT TO
GET INTO THE COUNTRY
NOW.
THAT'S WHY YOU MUST
BUY THEM CERTIFIED
BECAUSE THEY ARE SO
OFTEN IF THEY'RE NOT
BEEN CERTIFIED THEY
ARE SO OFTEN
COUNTERFEIT AND
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE
WE HAVE AN ACTUAL
CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC
TWO THOUSAND YEAR
OLD COIN.
THOSE ARE GOING VERY
QUICKLY EIGHT ZERO
TWO ONE FIVE ZERO IS
YOUR ITEM NUMBER.
