1 casino metal coin

999 Silver with approximate weight of 0.65 troy ounces. I have a nice collection of these- below is some info with links to photos and mintmark info. 8 ounce worth if i recall properly, the brass rimmed tokens i believe are like. as far as the Foxwoods Casino tokens, the wildlife series are all. intrinsic value is there as long as they have silver content. Of all the rest in our possession we have collected over decades, and many from my dad's travels in the 1960's and 70's.from time to time we sell a bunch.

the auctioneer almost pulled the lot after we bid, and no one went higher.not under my watch, even the crowd was on our side, it became vocal, but the auctioneer has a reputation to keep, he hammered it out on our lucky number bid plate, #7.

we were at the right place during the right time, we paid less then 2 dollars each, for over 1000 of them at auction a couple years ago.no competition, no reserve apparently?. We would not buy in bulk as we did with the foxwood gaming tokens, unless well below spot value. Yup.agreed to a certain extent by all means. Trust me, I know from personal experience with these. They are very difficult to unload because of the odd dimensions and the cost of pulling them apart to melt down. You should only pay well below spot for them. Unless you have ones with collector value, I would stay far away from these.
