Didn't they have an episode where they bought a bunch of silver, melted it down and had coins made with the old man's face on them?

Yes, they did. A huge ass silver bar.

Maybe chumlee had the coins melted down?

IIRC Since they got rid of the gold standard, all the gold and silver coinage basically became precious metals. Even though you can take a $20 eagle to the bank and get $20 bucks for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't happen every

Most coins are priced at spot metal pricing unless they are of special significance. They coins must have been 'sold' pretty soon after being stolen since the shop should have received notification. How long was the time period between receiving the coins and melting. Some pawn shops go to extreme measures to avoid stolen property, but will never be 100%.

A newspaper article in Houston back around 1990, I can't find it, had a Police search of 48 junk yards and 86 pawn shops. 47 junk yards had stolen vehicles and 84 pawn shops were found with stolen items. WOW, what a shocker, who would take a stolen item to a pawn shop?

The show did have some interesting items when it first started, but has lost a lot of interest since. Or maybe I just have better things to do than watch made up 'reality' TV.

Must say though, "Dude, you're screwed" is wild, even if scripted. Those guys are bad ass. "Naked and Afraid" is starting again. That is just too weird.

So , how many pennies would it take to cast a bullet..Oh say a .45.?

I guess ,really, how many pennies are in a gram, or vice versa?

About 2.5g per post 82 penny
About 3.1 per pre 82

So 86 cents for 215 gr...post '82

69 cents pre '82

using 215 g .45 bullet

note to self "not worth melting pennys for making boolits, besides its not "legal" "..

Thank You

You guys need to define your "gr"s. Grains or Grams. One of you is talking apples, the other is talking oranges.

approx 454 grams in a pound
approx 7000 grains in a pound.

If memory serves.

Dave

He asked for grams I gave him grams

You guys got stuffed in your locker alot, didnt you.

I was trying to figure, how many pennies would make a bullet, like say a 215 grain .45, for instance.

A 215 "gram " bullet would be pretty big, more than 1/2 a pound???

So I guess I would need to know "grains" in a penny?

I'm just killin time and figuring..Thanks Dave and caojyn
