I don't think I've seen a dated Caesars Palace medallion before. Has anyone else? This one is heavy and soft with 12 sides. It may be a lead test strike.
The Tropicana token I thought was a No Cash Value turns out to be a real token from the 90's that someone has cut down to about half-dollar size. Slug for the telephone?
The silver token is from a Vegas coin show at the Sahara Hotel 25 years ago. The reverse must be some kind of generic design used by the striking mint. Silver in '86 was about $5 an ounce... maybe a "good for" token to use at dealer tables?
The best of the bunch is the Thunderbird, Las Vegas "host token", the first I've seen. Don't see it in the Nevada Promo token book. Has anyone seen the name Jim Kahalley before?
