Discovering that they had unknowingly purchased or sold stolen merchandise is one of the worst things that can happen to a legitimate business, particularly one dealing in goods. Despite the competence of the team at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, they have experienced this unfortunate circumstance. One of the most well-known incidents involved a man named Ryan who brought in a Shekel of Tyre, a silver coin that was distributed in Lebanon between 130 BC and 79 AD. The coin was particularly intriguing because, according to the seller, it might have been one of the notorious "30 pieces of silver" paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying Jesus Christ in the Bible. Despite its interesting history, the shop bought the coin at what appeared to be a bargain price.

Diamonds, when acquired in the right way and shape, are considered infinitely valuable. However, the emergence of cubic zirconia, which are fake diamonds made to deceive people into thinking they are real, became an epidemic. Unfortunately, every pawn shop, including the late Richard Harrison's store, fell victim to this scam, resulting in the unknowing purchase of tens of thousands of dollars' worth of fakes. The only silver lining was the development of a test to differentiate between real and fake diamonds. Cory Harrison, Richard's grandson, even created a video demonstrating how to identify these fake diamonds. Which one was the worst in your opinion, and which one do you consider a "necessary risk"?
