These tokens have a tasty 0.60ozt silver center surrounded by a ring of brass. When I take them out of the airtite to photograph them I can hear the center piece rattle around inside that brass.
All the tokens I will be showing are a $10 value at the casino cage but they sell for well over $20 on the open market. I wonder if folks actually cashed these in for a crisp 10 dollar bill at the casino?
Today we will view a token fron the Palms Casino Resort, which opened on November 15, 2001. This is while I was living there and I can say that, at the time, this casino was super popular!
I remember a night I was at this casino (maybe the night I won't this token) and the line to get into the night club wove through the casino. Now, I'm in the casino and looking at the line and I see a an employee pushing a cocktail cart along the line selling beer and liquor to the people waiting in line!
Above the .999 fine silver there is a strange symbol. Do you know what is it?

Holy cow Ronaldo I am learning something interesting due to this question! The answer is a mint mark and I knew this much, however, look at all the mints that minted these tokens.
Most I don't recognize but... THE PERTH MINT!? Hoffman & Hoffman, OPM!! Now I have to look back at these and see where they were minted. What a list.
Here is the website to visit (if you don't already know about it) for info on these Silver Strikes https://www.silverstrikers.com/index.php/
When you get to the home page just click on "Strike Online Catalog" on the left and there they will be. It's a comprehensive collectors site with a ton of info and pictures of most every strike!
Here is an example of the info on the Palms token I have...

Good question @pocketechange and I do not know the answer. I can tell you that there are only 2 of these machines left in Las Vegas and from what I understand the metal is now clad. :(

Hehehe... 😁 I wonder why you have these tokens?!!!
The last time I was in LV, they sold wooden souvenir "tokens". I am thinking that perhaps you loved playing the tables and the slots 😁. I know that many of my friends enjoy the casinos a lot.
Great show... I'd love to see your entire collection. I think that collection is a cool and awesome👍 😎!
Take care, @summertooth. 🥰🌺🤙

I do enjoy gambling @silversaver888 but don't really have the disposable income to do so anymore. When I lived in Vegas I would go out occasionally and play craps, the best game in any casino. Then when family or friends would visit I would undoubtedly find myself in a casino with them and that's when I would look for the Silver Strike machines. I am pretty sure I posted a picture of all of my tokens a couple of years ago and I plan on another "family" shot once I go through them all individually. Hope you are having a good weekend Saver. :)

Most of them did at one time or another @silvertop but they have pretty much disappeared. If you want to nerd-out on these things check out the Silver-Strikers Club website https://www.silverstrikers.com/index.php/
Once on the homepage click the "Strike Online Catalog" on the left to see ALL the tokens. Just be sure you have plenty of time to get lost and see all the cool designs and remember to look up from the computer by Wednesday (that's Christmas)...Baaahahahaha!
