Hi Tom,
And THANK YOU, for your update on the Las Vegas Club Silver Strikes.
I am the author of the Price Guide for the Nevada Silver Premium Gaming tokens.
As a collector I only wished that more consideration would have been taken with regard to the Reverse designs. I've heard from too many collectors that we are become very tiresome of "SAME DESIGN" tokens being used between various casinos. For example six different casino's have used the generic backs of "Dice, Blackjack, Slot Machine and Royal Flush". Not to mention all the Babe Ruth, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe tokens now comming out.
In my opinion, these tokens can be very beautiful when the designs are more intricate and relating to gambling such as the Delta Saloon "Suicide Table" token from Virginia City. I've included a scan of it below.
I can just imagine another situation regarding these tokens which happened with Sam's Town and Freemont tokens where the Freemont logo side was used on the Sam's Town reverse die's. Hopefully the mints will be more careful regarding the manufacture of your casino's tokens.
I welcome the Las Vegas Club into the Silver Premium Token(SPT)arena.
