Hi Jim, I was surprised to see this coin on the message board. I got one off of Ebay sometime early last year, the only one I had ever seen - till now! Its a millennium coin dated January 1, 2001 and has a ruby (?) colored stone where LV would be in the state of Nevada. I inquired at length of its background when I bought it but was only told that they were issued to Preferred members of possibly a slot club at the Nevada Palace. They said they were selling it for a friend, but I like the Nevada Palace so I bought it. I havent looked at this strike in some time. I can pull it to see if I can offer any more information after I actually look at it!. Kathy
