I stand by my original message. First of all, I don't claim to be an expert in silver strikes and have not come across the person who is although some claim to be! You try to cloud the "issue" with your "snow jobs" Mr. Gisinger. The "issue" is not about what you prefer to call your "token,chip,strike" it is and always has been about your advertising this "common" $1.00 slot machine token (and it even has token stamped on it) as won from a "special machine". These $1.00 common tokens can be obtained from any cashier cage or change clerk at the Opera House casino. This is "clearly" not the same coin that Marv Weaver shows a scan of in his message pertaining to this issue. Let's call a "Spade a Spade" Mr. Gisinger! And while we are on the subject of "Silver Strikes" let's all take a look at what we have here. We have a Silver Strike Club, Silver Strike Chapters, Silver Strike Trading Sessions, Silver Strike Auction Sites, etc.,etc., etc! I think we can plainly see that most Silver Strike collectors and their related activities are collecting what? "Marbles, Bubble Gum Cards"? No, they are collecting "Silver Strikes". Those round brass rimmed silver insert coins in plastic see-through two piece cases that "DO" come from those "Special Machines" you so fondly advertise! Enough said about this subject at least by this "Silver Strike" collector!
