This is a set of all the Nevada tokens made by Franklin Mint in 1965, the first year that private gaming tokens were authorized in the state. I've had the set for about 40 years. The tokens are Proof/like and haven't been removed from the custom Dansco binder. The binder is in good condition, but the cover is loose and detached from the first page of the binder.
There are 3 pages of 9 tokens each, 27 total. All are the same size except for the Harrahs token, which is 1.58" in diameter rather than 1.48" as are the other 26. The binder was customized with a different size hole for the Harrahs 1965. Another difference in the Harrahs token is that while all other tokens have mirrored fields, Harrahs has concentric circles in the fields. This gives both sides of the token a different appearance, almost a frosted look, except for the fields that surround the lettering in the rims.
If you're not familiar with Dansco binders (they are made for metal tokens as well as for casino chips) they consist of fiber pages covered with the blue shiny material that is printed with identification legends for each hole. There are clear plastic slides that fit in between the fiber pages and the blue material. These can be slid out the side of the page to add or remove tokens/chips. Because the slides are transparent, both sides of the collectible can be viewed and I have scanned both sides of each page so that you can see the condition of both sides (unused). If you choose, you can remove the tokens and instead house them in a binder of your choosing, even in cardboard holders with mylar windows.
If you'd like this set of tokens (now over 50 years old), I'll send it to you for $190, delivered in the USA. Weight is about 2 pounds.
