The highly-anticipated third season of Pawn Stars brings viewers back inside the doors of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a family-run pawnshop in Las Vegas. The Harrison men ? grandfather Richard (aka 'old man'), son Rick and grandson Corey ? live and breathe the pawning business, using their sharp skills to carefully assess the value of items their customers bring in. Their shelves are filled with an array of items, ranging from the obscure to the truly historic, and each object has its own unique story and past. From 3-cent nickels and historic Revolutionary War bonds to sunken treasure from the Spanish Empire and clocks that kill, there isnt much the Harrisons havent seen.

'Pawn Stars' shine light on success
