I respectfully disagree. Silver Strikes are also tokens. The one that Larry H. has illustrated specifically says so. There are many types of tokens.... and many sub-classifications of tokens. Silver strikes, in my opinion, falls within the broad classification of "tokens". They are redeemable for cash.... just like the regular slot tokens are. The fact that they are encapsulated in a plastic holder makes them no different than forty one dollar tokens dropping into the payout hopper of a $1 slot machine when single bars are lined up on the machine's reels. Take the silver strike out of the plastic holder and the cage will still redeem it for $40.... or for $10 if won at a .25¢ machine. The example given; " I know there are other tokens from casinos past and present that are called strikes (AKA: 1967 Franklin Mint $5.00 Sterling Silver Tokens) that do not necessarily meet the definition of silver strikes as we know them to be today. For instance, I have a 1991 limited edition $1.00 .999 silver proof slot token from the Excalibur. I would not call it a strike. I would call it a token.".... your analogy is exactly correct..... which is why a silver strike can be a token, but a silver token is not necessarily a silver strike. Just one man's opinion.
