These tokens have a tasty 0.60ozt silver center surrounded by a ring of brass. When I take them out of the airtite to photograph them I can hear the center piece rattle around inside that brass.
All the tokens I will be showing are a $10 value at the casino cage but they sell for well over $20 on the open market. I wonder if folks actually cashed these in for a crisp 10 dollar bill at the casino?
Today we will look at one from The New Frontier. This was one of the OG Las Vegas casinos. It opened on October 30, 1942 (exactly 29 years before the day I was born).
The resort closed on July 16, 2007 and was demolished on November 13 of that same year.
The resort had the distinction of hosting Elvis Presley's first Vegas appearance in 1956, and the final performance of The Supremes with Diana Ross as lead singer on January 14, 1970.
