I have no idea what to think about this.

While I was at a local gold, and coin shop, a man brought in a Styrofoam cup with several-many gold dental pieces.

The shop keeper buyer made a "joke" about hammering out the bone. Didn't sound like a dentist to me.

I just looked away, and left.

Any body care to say what is going on here?

He simply did not want to pay weight for the tooth. Nothing weird he just wanted to buy the gold only and not the tooth.

Hey gold is gold evidently he picked it up somewhere and you have a 50/50 chance of being right.Either Legal or illegal would be the only conclusion.

Did the guy with the goods look anything like Laurence Olivier playing Dr. Christian Szell in the movie "Marathon Man"?

My dentist refers his patients to the local jeweler/coin guy.
Some just don't care and the dentist keeps the gold crown.
"Jeweler will pay ya $20 for your crown".
I've sold two myself, and received $50 a piece from a different dealer lol.

sounds exactly like a dentist to me, I honestly believe all dentists are re-incarnated torturers from the Spanish inquisition.
