I do not recall seeing 1/2 and 1/4 LB Silver Coins in Silver Strike Displays rotating as described in the descriptions.

I have however seen these same design token being sold by coin dealers at coin shows.

It would seem to me that this dealer is attempting to sell these tokens to unsuspecting Casino memorbilia collectors, and very inexperienced Silver Strikers.

Also of note is that these silver strikes have no casino names on them, as I do remember seeing names on the 1 LB tokens I saw rotating in the Silver Strike Machine displays, and of those some had gold plating on them and some didn't.

I am just wondering if this dealer is harming our hobby? Or possibly helping it?
