Christie..I would NOT include them in the awards. They are strikes but we do have some guidelines, even though they are lax. I would also remind everyone that the three very sought after Tournament strikes from Osheas, do not qualify as silver strikes based on the topic. One strike was for entering the tournament, one for winning and one for a handpay jackpot...none were available from any machine. Do they qualify for anything other than souvenir coins or prize coins??? They really are in the same catagory as the Sid's..Souvenir coins that are also silver strikes, but not available from a machine...Peter
