Here are three tokens that might be of some interest to the tokeneers (or even some chippers) who read this bb.
The first is the $1 millenium token from Fitzgeralds, downtown Las Vegas. This UNC token has a plain edge and is plated (chrome?). Maker is Roger Williams Mint. Price is $5 delivered.
In the center is an early Aladdin Las Vegas premium token denominated $2. This is one of a series issued in 1994 and showing Seven Wonders of the World. This brass token is UNC, and made by Letcher Mint. Price is $5 delivered.
On the right is a $5 Franklin Mint token from the sixties. This one is unusual because it is NOT sterling silver. Only 1000 were made in the silver clad version for general use in the casino and few were saved by collectors forty years ago. The sterling version for the collector sets had a mintage over 2000, and is marked STERLING below the name of the city. This used one was apparently drilled for assay back in the seventies when many silver tokens were melted and sold as bullion. Not too pretty, but very hard to find. This was in my collection till a few months ago when I finally got one undrilled. Price is $15, delivered.
