The moment it was said "a mix of sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds," I knew where this story was going.
-
lmao never thought i'd heard thg say "Aqua teen hunger force" that made my day
-
Weird Crimes would make a good ongoing series.

Re: the cautionary tale about the racketeer nickel. Here in Canada people would scrape the ink off the polymer $10 & $5 bills leaving the hologram intact and then would reprint them as $100 & $50 bills respectively. Our $10 bills now have a very different hologram compared to the $100 bill

Criminals robbing criminals 😂😂😂 love that first scam.
-
Great storytelling. I appreciate no background music and good tempo. New subscriber.
-
I love history at least in part because of stories like this and the History Guys that tell them. Thanks.

Definition of a mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing in front of it.

"For heaven's sake, don't let her inside a Radio Shack!" 😄

I'm no gem expert, but I know that all those gemstones laying around on the ground sounds fishy to even me..?? Boy, these guys caught a very BIG Fish..!! Good History, Guy...
-
Bridget's story is just tragic...belief is a powerful drug
-
so the scammers must have thought it was game over when they sent a sample of the gems to Tiffany for appraisal. Only for him to value them at about 75 times what they were worth. 🤣

Lesson from the Colorado Diamond Mine caper: "you can't cheat an honest man"
-
Oh, I love a weird crime story!!! Thanks for the video, The History Guy, I can't wait to get to view all of these!

I was a pretty big Aqua Teen fan and I remember laughing so hard hearing the Mooninites shut down Boston. “I hope he can see this, because I’m doing it as hard as I can” 🤣🤣

The story about the nickels overlooks the years during which metals were so scarce that the nickels were minted out of wood. I once spent several thousand dollars buying up an old hoard of these. Wooden nickels are almost impossible to counterfeit since none were minted in the 20th or 21st centuries and so tree-ring analysis will disprove any modern fakes, UNLESS the counterfeiter had access to wood that was grown in the 19th century.

I love the way you narrate so fast, the amount of information you can share in 59 minutes would take some YouTubers 3 hours. Thanks History Guy 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Good Wednesday morning History Guy and everyone watching
