Lot of 26 "silver dollar" size gaming tokens (and 7 more other denominations). A brief tour of late 20th century casinos including: Bally's, Boardwalk Regency, Caesar's, Cherokee (NC),The Claridge, Deadwood (SD), Delaware Park, Desert Inn, Europa Kruz, Frontier, Gold Coast, Harrah's, Harrah's Trump Palace (4), Lakeside Inn, New York New York, Sands, Stardust, Stratosphere, and some extras: $5 Delaware Midway slots, 50¢ Midway Slots, 4 Monte Carlo Poker Club pieces, and a large 50 mm Delaware Park horse/slot token. (Some, though far from all, of these can be found on EBay selling for $10 to $20+. For example, a 50¢ Midway Slots piece is currently being offered for $19.99.) About Very Fine to Uncirculated; fascinating lot. At one time actual silver dollars were common in Las Vegas slot machines. After the 1965 shift to clad coins actual silver dollars phased out quickly. While this group of silver dollar sized tokens includes a couple that might actually be silver with a "ring" that seems right, the assumption in this lot is that the historic nature and variety is the appeal. Some are minty and fresh and some were obviously well used.
