Yeah, it was one collection. I didn't see any real cool or potentially rare pieces. Obviously, there were hundreds of dupes and most were more modern issues from common Nevada casinos. I doubt we saved many, if any, at all.

There was a slot machine that kicked out those for winnings vs the paper slip?? Where is this machine? I thought they all switched to paper payouts now.

All of the ones I'v handled are marked .999 fine silver
either on the brass ring or on the silver center,
Curious why these are not marked ?

As the flip side of the coins says "4 Queens" to the left side of the tables. Cash win is paper.

I am not wearing my Cpt Obvious glasses today. Seem to forget those a lot.

I've had this one for 15 years or so. Only one I liked enough to keep.

Almost 1.5 ounce of silver.

Anyone know how old this one is?

greatnortherncoin · December 25, 2011 8:20AM

some are not a oz of .999 some are plated some are 1/2 oz of .999

Actually no $10 strike is 1 oz of silver. Only the inner core is made of silver which represents approx. .60oz. Since the OP's strike does not say .999 silver, I would assume the inner core is silver plated, if so, I would have taken the voucher instead.

Hmmmm, you have a very valid point there. they used to say.999 silver, these do not

These particular silver strikes are plate.

Stephanie,

There is an active group that collects silver strikes:
Silver Strikers Club Homepage

The$10 ones marked .999 have an outer brass ring, with a total of 0.6 oz of silver. The clad ones are listed as no silver.

The strikes you won can be found here:
Four Queens

Linda appears to be “FQlvnv-080 — CLAD”
Andrea appears to be “FQlvnv-077 — CLAD or FQlvnv-077-V1 — CLAD”

Your toned strike is “GGlvnv-002” and contains 0.6 oz of silver.

Golden Gate

Edited to add: It was struck in 1994.
