License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver
In Las Vegas, there’s a family-owned business called the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, run by three generations of the Harrison family: Rick; his son, Big Hoss; and Rick’s dad, the Old Man. Now License to Pawn takes readers behind the scenes of the hit History show Pawn Stars and shares the fascinating life story of its star, Rick Harrison, and the equally intriguing story behind the shop, the customers, and the items for sale.
Rick hasn’t had it easy. He was a math whiz at an early age, but developed a similarly uncanny ability to find ever-deepening trouble that nearly ruined his life. With the birth of his son, he sobered up, reconnected with his dad, and they started their booming business together.
License to Pawn also offers an entertaining walk through the pawn shop’s history. It’s a captivating look into how the Gold & Silver works, with incredible stories about the crazy customers and the one-of-a-kind items that the shop sells. Rick isn’t only a businessman; he’s also a historian and keen observer of human nature. For instance, did you know that pimps wear lots of jewelry for a reason? It’s because if they’re arrested, jewelry doesn’t get confiscated like cash does, and ready money will be available for bail. Or that WWII bomber jackets and Zippo lighters can sell for a freakishly high price in Japan? Have you ever heard that the makers of Ormolu clocks, which Rick sells for as much as $15,000 apiece, frequently died before forty thanks to the mercury in the paint?
Rick also reveals the items he loves so much he’ll never sell. The shop has three Olympic bronze medals, a Patriots Super Bowl ring, a Samurai sword from 1490, and an original Iwo Jima battle plan. Each object has an incredible story behind it, of course. Rick shares them all, and so much more–there’s an irresistible treasure trove of history behind both the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and the life of Rick Harrison.

It Was All Just a Dream
Sunday night, I had a dream that my fabulous B/F proposed. It was so surreal. I remember his mum telling me the day before to give her a call the next day (the day of the engagement). The ring that he chose however was this God-awful thing. It was about an inch thick (like it came up to my knuckle), had only little diamond specks, and was yellow gold. We went to a pawn shop (I think it was part of Winners), to look at other ones. It was only when the clerk mentioned the ring being yellow gold that I noticed. Oh my. It was a crazy dream! (This is a ring I bought for myself before the B/F and I started dating. Bought it from a pawn shop.) I should have turned the diamonds in the direction of the window to capture more light on them.

Diamond thieves
A St. Albert jewelry store clerk holds up two engagement rings similar to those stolen during a daylight heist.
Three men and a girl walked into the store in a shopping mall, looked at a few rings, and then grabbed them when a clerk had her back turned.
"We rarely know where they unload the jewelry — whether it’s pawn shops, or they melt the stuff down," the store manager said. "All we know is that these guys are professional criminals and they’re hitting stores hard."
Police tracked the suspects to a rented van and made preliminary links with this case to a string of similar robberies across Western Canada.
