Archie..I am not an officer and would say that the officers do not define what is or is not a Silver Strike but that the collectors make that decision, on an individual basis. It is a good argument, however and you are right about the timing. We have been talking about this very strike and it is NOT a Silver Strike as defined by some of us that collect. It is a very nice collectible token.

What you are asking is generic, I think, and the question is what defines a Silver Strike? Previously a Silver Strike had to be won from one of the special Souvenir Coin machines in a casino. More and more we are beginning to add special editions to our collections, like handpay strikes, tournament giveaways and the 1 pounders from Sierra Sid's which are all nice pieces, but extend the boundries of the Silver Strikes we used to collect. Let's hear from the officers and anyone else, what they think...Peter
