Pawn Stars: Social Security Letter Signed by FDR (Season 3) | History 

Appraiser "It's not worth a million." Seller: "I definitely heard a million in there."

He zoned out at $40k

“Everybody makes a little money and the world’s happy.” Such classic old values. :):)

LMAO the father going down to 2000 after 2500 already offered

I love how the old man backed up the seller saying there was no copy machines

that old man is the biggest lowball ever 😂😂

this is like the holy grails of social security letters signed by FDR

Such a classy man. We need more people like him. He was very respectful.

What a shame, I would have kept that in the family.

That grandfather savage for telling the guy after he wanted 3,000 to give him instead 2,000 ....lmao

This is an insult to the social security community.

His words at the end.. everybody makes little bit the world is happy..

So important to his family; he sells it for a few thousand,....

mr. brown + holy grail = famously

“I’ll go two” love it.

I really like Jerry. He seems like a genuinely nice guy

That face I make when Rebecca comes into the room. 0:14

this is like the holy grail of social security letters

Make a copy first at least. That’s a letter from FDR signed by FDR addressed to your family member.

Nino would have cleaned the document up first ... oops wrong series

I caught the letter myself.

Old man going savage😂🤣

I like his realistic view when he said everyone makes a little bit of money and the world is happy 😃

The old man cracks me up, I miss him

Old man was in a mood that day. "That's no mimeograph. I used to run one". Rick shut up after that 😂

The one thing that the show has taught me is to just go straight to the auction myself

It would bring about $5,000 at auction Rick: I'll give you $50. I take all the risk.

Rick: I'll give you $2500 Guy: let's do $3000 Old Man: I'll give $500 son Guy: I'll accept that. Rick: uhh... Old Man: go write him up.

If I'd walked in and seen the old man behind the counter I wouldve turned around and walked back out. What a chooch

"I was tickled at that price"... Idk why but that made me chuckle lolz. 4:41

"Everybody makes a little bit, and the worlds happy." Agreed sir, agreed

He gets mugged on the way out R.I.P Mr.Lax

He could've gotten 4000 , after Rick's line of having to frame it comes up

Ok, Rick needs to bring in Rebecca for this!!!!!

Rest In Peace Old Man

Is that all is in that experts bag....that big arse magnifier glass.

FDR and Mr Brown got along famously

What a beautiful signature.

FDR was one of my favorite presidents.

Back when they had a real expert check autographs

I’d have kept that letter for generations to come so they can remember this historical moment

NOOOO I don’t think so I think I’m gonna take it home

I like how pawn stars never had people coming in and starts yelling 😂

Mr. FDR was very happy to sign the letter!!!

so this drew guy just looks at the signature..and he feels its authentic. Ok but the other guy has an IPad to look at 😂😂

That's one beautiful signature..

Old man knew he coulda gotten it for less lmao

What a great man

Mr. Brown and FDR got along famously.

Old man was a bit vicious in this one.

R.I.P To the Old Man ❤ "Ill go 2" 😂

3:05 Rick looks at that dude like "WTF! I told you to tell him it was fake so i can low ball him!"

@1:01 The Smoker Laugh. Mutley

Old Man said hold my beer 😂

The old man giving Rick the quick correction. Lol. Rip

Rick lowballed him

Drew has the magic magnifying glass from Romper Room

"I hope Mr. Capone dosn't mind that we're BARROWING his car"-FDR.

The oldman was brutal! $2.500 can you go $3000... I go $2000 hahahaha

MR. BROWN AND THE FDR GOT ALONG FAMOUSLY

Rick laugh like a car starting up lol

The Appraiser Is an insane expert without any copy to match the signature.

Should have kept it.

On Pawn Stars episode 322 (Chumdog Millionaire), Drew Max, Forensic Document Examiner, was once again called upon by the Pawn Stars to examine a high-end signature and this time it was a Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) signed "Letter To Clergy." The FDR "Letter To Clergy" were all dated September 23, 1935. Now some facts about FDR's "Letter To Clergy" dated September 23, 1935. These were form letters mailed to approximately 121,700 members of the clergy across the United States. The purpose of the letter was to invite comment on the "New Deal." Now think about this; 121,700 (one-hundred twenty-one thousand seven-hundred) "Letters To Clergy" were mailed out. Does anyone, including Drew Max, really think that President Roosevelt personally signed all 121, 700 "Letters To Clergy?" The approximately 121,700 "Letters To Clergy" were all reproductions (copies) with a "Franklin D. Roosevelt" facsimile signature. None of the "signatures" on the "Letter To Clergy' were hand-signed by President Roosevelt. The addressee on the bottom left of each "Letter To Clergy" were inserted after the reproduction process and then mailed to the approximately 121,700 members of the clergy. So the owner of the FDR "Letter To Clergy" walks into the pawn shop and states that his grandfather (a reverend) received the letter from FDR. The pawn shop calls in Mr. Drew Max, FDE and Mr. Max asks Rick "What's your concern on this?" Mr. Max pulls out his magnifying glass, talks his usual FDE jargon and then proclaims "When you put it all together, there's only one conclusion, this thing is definitely authentic." Then Mr. Drew Max said "I wouldn't doubt if he signed every single one." Every single one? Really? All 121,700? Mr. Max, as a Forensic Document Examiner, how could you not determine that the FDR signature is a facsimile? You go on the show and announce that you are a "Forensic Document Examiner" and yet you're unable to detect that the FDR signature is a facsimile? I am puzzled. Below is a copy of the "Letter To Clergy." Notice there is no addressee on the below letter.

guy just wants the world to be happy :)

I went to the pawn shop today pretty awesome

They should have a handshake counter in every video

THIS IS NICE

He didn't even compare it to any other documents! I doubt he has a photographic memory so good he knows exactly when it is FDR's signature!

This expert looks like JFK and David Bowie fused together.

i would of gotten a 3rd look at that signing of fdr lol its was to neat and strait.

Roosevelt got a beautiful signature.

Why would u give away or sell somthing like that anyways ...

The old man owns lol

That signature looks like a stamp

Expert: so this is like the holy grail of social security letters xD

“It means a lot to me because its family” while selling it

The seller is the kinda nice fella you see at Cracker Barrel at 9:30am on a Sunday.

I'm glad he was tickled with the price

Mr. Brown and social security got along famously.

the old man is brutal

"Everyone makes a little & the World is happy." ...lol. Food 4 thought.

Dude can’t negotiate 😂😂

auto expert is so old school.

I got a buddy who's an expert on form letters from the 1930s...

Awesome

Hauls in large bag..pulls out magnifying glass

i love this programme but if i had a letter or anything from my family i wouldnt sell it

He always wins

i think mr Brown actually signed that letter famously

Rick gave him more when his dad said a lower price. Rick does show sometimes that he loves his customers.

Honestly now I need to know what happens when someone brings in the actual Holy Grail 😂😂😂

This is the cats meow

screaming at my screen: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! DONT SELL IT!!!!.

I am still waiting for someone to say, ' i'll take it next year and in hay '

For that price I'd keep it and hand it down in the family

I heard $40,000 there xD

Yes the world is happy now

Real Texan right here

I was born not far from Kevil Kentucky in Princeton.
