Here is a $10 "Silver Strike" casino chip from The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The chip was minted by Sunshine Minting in 1995.
The Obverse image is - A "HR" in a sunburst w/ "HARD ROCK HOTEL TEN DOLLAR" printed on the brass outer ring.
The Reverse image is - Hard Rock Hotel in a sunburst, w/ $10 and an "S" mint mark on the silver. On the outer brass ring is "IN ROCK WE TRUST LAS VEGAS, NV"
The center section is .999 Silver, (.6 troy oz. is what a scan of the internet says) and the outer encasing ring is brass.The strike comes in the original plastic case, that is cracked.
If you are unfamiliar with Silver Strikes, this is from The Silver Strikers Club homepage
"The definition is Limited Edition silver token won from slot machines and
is in a protective plastic holder. Some call them "Silver Premium Tokens",
but most of us just call them "Silver Strikes". These tokens are issued in
many casinos throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and
Cruise Ships. The first of these tokens were won from slot machines in the
Reno/Tahoe area of Nevada in 1992."
PLEASE - Before you
message me to tell me these are not .999 silver, do your
research. I know the chips aren't marked and I know it is rare for
something of this vintage to be unmarked and silver, but I have done my
research, they are .999 silver, and you are incorrect if you think
otherwise. The Silver Strikers website is a great place to start your
research, they are the largest collectors group for Silver Strikes that I
could find. If you still don't believe me - feel free to click past my
listing.
If you buy more than onething from me -
ask for an invoice before paying - which makes it easy for me to combine
shipping and save you $$$.
This Strike and many other things I am listing are from the vast collection of an archivist, numismatist, historian, and enthusiast I was lucky enough to call an Uncle-in-law.
As always - thanks for looking - Aloha!
