Also, most of the first-year slot tokens of Nevada are scarce. Osborne and Michigan Tool for example, made some of the earliest in 1964-65 when US silver dollars were about gone and private issue tokens were first made legal. All the silveen and goldeen tokens are scarce. Many of the later sterling and fine silver presentation tokens are also low mintage and scarce.
The holy grail of tokens though, has to be the Harrah's $1 token struck in platinum for Bill Harrah. Only one exists. It was included in the Platinum Collection that sold on eBay in 2005 for $1 million. The Pt dollar would be worth over $1000 just in precious metal value; collector value would be a multiple of that.
