Dave, I am glad that you sent a letter to the NGC for the facts to come right from THE HORSES MOUTH pertaining to HSP Strikes!! I called my cousin Nancy in Kentucky and it was her mother, father and two uncles who used to own the original Aladdin in Las Vegas and she said, "That the Nevada Gaming Commission only approves or denies the designs and dollar values for the Tokens or Chips and they did not tell you what materials had to be used in the minting process". There were other rules that had to be followed such as only one denomination of money per Token or Chip and nothing vulgar (Art Work or Wording). Walt, thank you for also bringing up the information what Craig had posted about getting the approval from NGC on the minting of the HSP strikes. Also, if these orders came directly from the Nevada Gaming Commission about having to go to HSP Strikes, then why are the $200's staying .999 FINE SILVER???
