I don't know value on tokens, Jerry, except I'm doing real good if I can get $5 for one. But it seems like a good opportunity to show off this piece again. I was living in Portland Oregon when Diane and I were married in 1979. We went to Reno for our honeymoon. The MGM Reno had just opened in 1978, and was the biggest hotel/casino in the world at that time. I kept this token as my only souvenir of the trip because I liked the lion, and it had the year on it.
This token was the main thing that prompted me to think about collecting chips when we moved here in 1998.
