Sumner, Elvis's bass [player]," he told the <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/pawn-stars/">Pawn Stars</a> during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0NWf7k6cI">episode</a>.The brown fur coat could be seen with a small cape, a distinct aspect of Elvis's iconic "superfly" coats he often wore toward the end of his career.Erik brought in two crucial pieces of paper to verify its authenticity.The first was a bill of sale from Sumner to Moon for the coat before it was displayed at the Elvis Presley Museum.The other was a letter from the Museum, signed by Moon, to verify the coat was, in fact, previously worn by Elvis.<nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate>Without the documents, Erik would've been off to a bumpy start.Considering the verification, Erik told the Pawn Stars he thought a fair price was $75,000 for the coat.Still, Rick and Chumlee wanted an expert to come in and take a second look at the coat so they'd know the price wasn't unrealistic.<h2>VELVET VERIFICATION</h2>They brought in Jimmy Velvet, founder of the Elvis Presley Museum and former personal friend to the man himself.Velvet explained to Erik, Rick, and Chumlee that he'd met Elvis back during English class in high school, and the pair stayed friends ever since, with Velvet often <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/travel/">traveling</a> with him and spending plenty of time in Graceland, their hometown in <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/where/tennessee/">Tennessee</a>."I specialize in anything and everything, Elvis," Velvet told the Pawn Stars.<nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate>Rick asked what Velvet thought of the coat, and immediately, he emphasized that "there's a lot of fake stuff out there.""You pay a big dollar, but you gotta be careful what you buy," he advised.<h2>Most Lucrative Pawn Stars Deals</h2><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2IdSpu_0vmPWTSU00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2IdSpu_0vmPWTSU00" width="620" height="413" ></figure>The Pawn Stars have seen some incredibly rare items and collectibles in and out of the store over the years.
