At 7:00 AM on Wednesday, the 28th day of January 2004, the Four Queens Hotel & Casino will begin redemption of current $10 Silver Strikes for a $200 Christmas theme strike. Production is limited to 100 pieces. Redemption will be at Window #5 of the Casino Cage. There will be a limit of one redemption per person per transaction. Thank you for your interest.

Followed by:

The high demand pushed people to show up early and hence fill all 100 spots by 2:45 a.m. Wednesday morning.

So in effect the issue was sold out 4 1/2 hours before redemption started?

I can see why some people are upset.
