Original Listing Description

1966 Franklin Proof Gaming TokensBy 1966, silver dollars had completely disappeared from circulation, and more casinos turned to private issue gaming tokens. By mid-year, every major casino in the Las Vegas area, and nearly all the other big casinos had ordered their own tokens. By the fall of 1966, the Franklin Mint had reached its limit for the year, 72 different gaming tokens. This included 64 casinos in Nevada, and 8 international casinos. Unlike 1965, every token issued by the Franklin Mint in 1966 was the same standard size. Each token had a unique reading pattern around the edge. This helped casinos identify their own tokens. Along with the regular run of these Dollar Gaming Tokens, which varied from 10,000 to 325,000 pieces, most of the casinos ordered 500 proofs in individual coin holders, In addition, there was a limited run of 3,100 complete Proof-Like sets, consisting of specially handled specimens struck in the regular material CONDITION: Good (see images for more details)In the set: Four Queens - Las Vegas Tropicana - Las Vegas Riviera - Las Vegas Flamingo - Las Vegas Caesars Palace - Las Vegas Desert Inn - Las Vegas Hacienda - Las Vegas Stardust - Las Vegas Showboat - Las Vegas Sahara - Las Vegas Thunderbird - Las Vegas Aladdin - Las Vegetation's Horseshoe - Las Vegas Dunes - Las Vegas Jerry's Nugget - North Las Vegas Silver Slipper - Las Vegas Pioneer Club - Las Vegas Carousel - Las Vegas California Club - Las Vegas Fremont - Las Vegas Pussycat A Go Go - Las VegasEl Cortes - Las Vegas Las Vegas Club Club Bingo - Las Vegas Mint - Las Vegas Diamond Jim's Nevada Club - Las Vegas Lucky Casino - Las Adorableness - Henderson Bonanza - Las Vegas Fallon Nugget - Fallon Hotel Nevada - Ely Silver Nugget - North Las Vegas Nevada Bank Club - Fallon Casino 93 - Jackpot Cactus Pete's - Jackpot Palace Club - Fallon Harvey's - Lake Tahoe Sahara Tahoe - Lake Tahoe Barney's - Lake Tahoe Cal Neva Lodge - Lake Tahoe South Tahoe Casino - Lake Tahoe North Shore Club - Lake Tahoe Incline Village Casino - Lake Tahoe South Tahoe Nugget - Lake Tahoe Exchange Club - Beatty Carson City Nugget - Carson City Delta - Virginia City Bill Crow's Mint - Carson Scarcity's - Reno & Lake Tahoe Harold's Club - Reno Club Cal-Neva - Belladonna - Reno Jim Kelley's Nugget - Reno & Lake Tahoe Overland - Reno New China Club - Reno Palace Club - Reno Golden Gate - Las Vegas Reno's Horseshoe Club Sparks Nugget - Sparks Gold Club - Sparks Red Bull - Winnebago Mickie's Star - Winnemucca Sonoma Inn - Winnemucca Riverside Resort - Davis DamSan Jeronimo Hilton - San Juan Caliente - Tijuana Hotel Curacao - Netherlands Aruba Hotel - Netherlands Little Bay Beach Hotel - Netherlands Hotel Quito - Equador Surinam Torarica HotelEl Embajador Hotel (Condition: Pre-Owned)
