An addition to my post is that there has been a Slot Machine GDC from the Gold Coast found with small fonts on both sides. This is a very rare find and I know of only two of them, unlike the Dice that are more plentiful, but expensive. The GDCs as we know did not last long and were pulled from play and part of the strikes that were overstamped with the S mint mark. Of all the casinos, the Gold Coast is one of the most difficult to catalog and none of the current catalogs available have a complete listing of their strikes. In the earlier days of minting strikes selection of outer rings for strikes was kind of indescriminate and created some odd balls. Ralph Bjornson has a good data base of Gold Coast strikes for anyone interested...Peter
