This is a 'Silver Strike' - the $10.00 'prize' in special slot machines. There were several designs that were considered collectible items. They could be cashed in for $10.00. The coins are in a plastic case to protect them. It became a service nightmare, as the cases chipped, bouncing around in the machines... the fragments jammed up the works of the machines. There were usually 3 or 4 designs (keep playing until you win them all!), and designs were changed periodically, keeping collectors coming back.
These coins are .999 fine silver.
This chip features "The Joint". The Joint - Hard Rock, Las Vegas was an incredible indoor arena and a great place to catch any live performance. On the back is the mint mark "S" for Sunshine Mint.
The Joint logo is featured on the front of the chip.
