Here is my 2 cents. I think a silver strike is any token made from .999 silver, and has a face value of 7.00 or more. Can be obtained only by winning in a special slot machine. Was manufactured or produced after 1992. All others are just tokens. As for Anchor claiming they own the name I would have to see that copyright. The words silver strike sound like public domain to me. They may own the patent if there is one anymore. Patents run out so quickly these days. As for me I collect any casino coins made from brass, silver, or gold, or any combination of these metals. But what you have to ask yourself is,,,,,,DOES IT REALLY MATTER!!!!!! WHY WORRY YOURSELF TO DEATH CONTEMPLATING SOMETHING SO MINOR. ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 1000 OF THE WORLDS PROBLEMS I WOULD SAY IT IS A -1000. Just enjoy spending your money and time on something you enjoy. See yall at the tournament. I plan to have a blast even if I LOSE AGAIN.
