# 434 - Some Casino Chips - Part 2

in #steemsilvergold5 years ago (edited)

Usually stackers buy silver/gold coins, medals, bars or rounds.

I will show you now another kind of stackable material : Casino Chips.

There are many different values with different weights and different metals. The collectors call them Strikes.

The $2 and $3 strikes are made of brass.

The $7 strikes are made of 99.9% silver and weight about .65oz.

The $10 strikes have a 99.9% silver center insert with an outer ring in brass. They have about .6oz in silver and .6oz in brass. The diameter is 43mm.

There are also the $20 strike, the $28 strike, the $40 strike, the $200 strike and the $300 strike.
The $200 and the $300 stikes weight 12oz of 99.9% silver and may have some 24kt Heavy Electroplating.

I will show you all that I have in several articles. They are all $10 strikes.

These two are from the Atlantis Casino Resort in Reno, Nevada. It was inaugurated in 1972 and it has 824 rooms.

The first shows a parrot.

The second shows a toucan and an angel fish.

If you hadn't told me, I would never see the fish near the toucan.

I only saw it after reading the description of the strike, on Ebay.

i was gifted a bunch of the $10 strikes, since I have never been anywhere on vacation, are they still handing these out at casinos?

Not these ones, because the silver value is greater than $10. They may have other kind of silver casino chips but with less silver.

I'm trying to remember that there is someone that collects these very type of Casino chips.

I have not many chips, only 11, but this is a fascinating part of numismatics. If you remember, tell me who is that someone.
