Re: Question abount the mints..
Rick, their bread and butter is not only minting Silver Strikes for Casino's. In the past there have been approx. (10) Mints that mint anything from coins to medallions and they have all survived with or without Casino's. If you take notice that some of the Strikes are with the G mint mark and others are minted with a S mint mark, and they are from the Global Mint and the Sunshine Mint. When the Casino's stopped having tokens minted for their slot machines in $.10, $.25. $.50, $1.00 values and so on and went to actual coins (Money) and then to Paper in and Paper Out Slot Machines, the mints didn't go out of business then and that was a large drop in their business. Remember, when one door closes another door opens and as always, they will survive!
