Nick , he would have to be worse than moron to put a Gold coin into a coin star machine .


I'm guessing those were the coins he pawned, the rest went into CoinStar.

Investigators said Mele sold some of the coins to a pawn shop for $4,000, then exchanged the majority of them through CoinStar change machines at grocery stores

@jimbucks and @atticguy: a presidential gold colored coins worth a few hundred, is the godless dollar coin. They are more modern dollar coins, with the presidential face on it, but does not have the inscription around the edge saying in god we trust. This will, on an ordinary coin, be etched into the rim.

On August 8th he pled guilty to 5 of the 10 drug charges. He was sentenced to 5 years on the two most serious charges (POSSESSION OF OXYCODONE and POSSESSION OF ALPRAZALAM (XANAX)), with credit for 121 days in jail awaiting trial.

He also pled guilty to 812.014(12B) GRAND THEFT OVER $20,000 LESS THAN $100,000 and was sentenced to 5 years in jail (concurrent with the above) and 10 years probation.

So much for $350K...
