haha found it on there e bay store.. 64.99 a pop!!!!

too high for me

 

They said $60 a piece for the one ounce Old Man silver coins. Who do they think they are...the US Mint? TC

 

Forget the bar, I wonder what he had in those coins.

 

That's the sad part none where checked out

 

$60 and you can own the Old Man's face? Priceless. haha

 

I saw ONE quarter out of all that that they showed and it was a 1937, looked pretty good too. However knowing the old man he'll most likely melt all those silver quarters and dimes down. I don't particularly care for him, since he's one of those "melt it down" kind of guys. I'd bet he'd melt those nice 100 oz Englehard bars too if he got the chance.

 

I wonder what the spot price was at the time the transaction took place and how much money the dude left on the table selling that much metal to a pawn shop instead of a coin shop.

 

This is the only "Old Man" coin I would buy Oh wait I did buy it and it was less than $60.00 (ANACS MS64 Old small white slab)

 

I figured it out that he paid almost 30 thousand over spot in today's market, just shows you how long ago they filmed it.

 

they showed the calculater as he was adding and he put in 32.and change times however many oz he was figuring.. so i dont know if spot was at 32 or if thats just what he was offering per oz.. im not sure how long it takes the show to go from recording to when its played on tv but i hope spot was not at 40+ and he took a big loss.. but i guess if you only paid 5 bucks an ounce 111,000 is cash in the bank..

 

I'll pay $60.............for a ChumLee Coin....

.

 

hahaha talk about the american dream lol.. guy is famous for being a goof ball.. guess its all about being in the right place at the right time

 

Just because they ask $60 a piece for those, doesn't mean they'll get it.

But then again, eBay is full of bidiots!

 

During the episode, Rick said that they paid, "a dollar over," and that the seller was free to try anywhere else, but he wouldn't find a better price (in Las Vegas, at least). If Rick was calculating the price at $32.00 and some change, so the spot price was $31.00 and change, I would guess that they either filmed the episode at the beginning of May 2012 or back in Fall, 2011.

Just my humble opinion. And everything that I know about the filming of Pawn Stars I learned from reading Charmy Harker's (aka, The Penny Lady ®) posts here on CT!
:hail:

 

They make great Graduation, Birthday and Christmas gifts! Your friends and family will love you for it! Act now because they are sure to be a fast sell-out.

 

I thought he said they paid a dollar under.

 

I knew this thread would come up. I couldn't believe how much silver he had and said he bought it when silver was at 3 or 4 dollars an ounce in the late 90's. He should have cashed it in when silver was near $50.00 last year. Saw the commercials for it but didn't expect the bags of silver quarters and dimes. It would have been great to look through them.

 

OOPS. Hmmm, I guess I should have engaged my brain before posting.

Halvessearcher has to be correct, I would expect a pawn shop to pay a dollar UNDER melt in order to make a profit. So, if silver was selling at $33+, then the episode probably was filmed in early March 2012.

That is my even humbler opinion. :foot-mouth:

 

I got on shop dot history dot com after the episode to see if I could get 1. No go. I may buy 1 from ebay. I love the show and I love the old man.
