IMO, the big 5's made by FM were some of the most beautiful tokens ever issued, both in terms of artistic merit and quality of the production. Each token has a unique pattern of reeding on the edge, a feature that FM patented if I'm not mistaken.
The token from Harolds Club in Reno is the one originally issued in the PL sets; its reverse is marked Las Vegas. A token with the correct marking of Reno was issued later and offered as a replacement to set holders.
What cost $5 in 1967 would cost $31.63 in 2007 adjusted for inflation.
Yours for $23 each, delivered. Again about the value of the silver content. I'll honor this price for the next three days as the crazy silver market could do anyting next week [g].
