David - With all due respect will you plese explain why it is in a casino's best interest to keep the strike machines ? Maybe you should have talked a bunch more a bit earlier before 95% of the casino's dumped the strike program. With fewer strikes to play for the less people will play. My point along with Archies is and was what he stated and I have no problem selling my old common strikes that don't sell for even $5.00 to my bullion dealer who will pay me .10 cents back of spot on any given day for the whole strike or just the center. If this happens to drive up the price of the same common strikes I send to melt so be it and you might profit but most common strikes were minted in the thousands and there are always several out there to buy, just check ebay and jackpot. Know if you are into buying I have a complete set of all northern Nevada $10 strikes you can buy if the price you want to spend is the right price.
