I too have noticed how some strikes have the small "TM" mark on them, if you look at the $7.00 Golden Nugget Waterfall from Laughlin I have one that has the TM trade mark directly under the e in Nugget on the logo side and I have another that does "not" have the TM trade mark under the e on the logo side and both are shiny (not dull) and are in brilliant condition.So Peter if your reading this tell Loyd he might not have all the $7's yet, see ya in June, Aaron Turnbow
