We have one dealer/club member who also uses the term "rare" with regard to one certain Silver Strike, which there were probably 1000 made. The actual number will probably never be known but gossiped about that they were told this by the casino from some employee who doesn't really know.

Do an E-bay search using "Pavarotti Silver Strike" as the link I tried to post here won't work. This dealer has 5 of these tokens up for auction. I don't think the term "Rare" actually fits this token.

There are 9 e-bay auctions which include the word Rare with Silver Strike.

And I really like this auction's description:

And check out it's starting price.(face value)

How about a "RARE" Set of current $20 Hard Rock Silver Strikes?

Enough said. "Rare is used to excite the novice and increase the final price".
