The world’s most famous pawn shop is caught up in the alleged theft of a $50,000 coin collection after the “Pawn Stars” store bought the pilfered goods.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Clark County (Nev.) Justice Court, Las Vegas resident David Walters’ coin collection was stolen from his home in November by his niece, Jennifer Beckman, who then sold them to the gang at Gold and Silver Pawn for $12,375.
Court documents say Walters’ collection – kept in a bag hidden under a dresser – contained such rarities as a Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece and Silver Morgan coins from the 1880s as well as contemporary one-ounce American Buffalo gold pieces.
