Later FM tokens you may not have

You probably know that Franklin Mint produced complete year-sets of their 1965-69 Nevada gaming tokens. These were for collectors and casino gifts. During the second era of gaming token production starting in 1979, FM had lost their dominance in the token industry but did produce for casinos for another 5 years. There were no collector sets containing these tokens.

Here are three of my duplicates of the second-period dollar tokens for your consideration. The Silver Nugget is impossible to find in AU or better condition. I'd grade this one at XF based on surface marks but there's very little actual wear. The other two are AU or better. The Mr. Sy's is in an older "The Coin Company" holder marked at $12.

The MGM Las Vegas is from the original MGM Grand, of course.

The lot of three is $20, shipping included.
