Comments

Silver strike tokens issued before 2005 had a center silver round weighing about .6 Troy ounces, later ones had a .5 Troy ounce center silver round.
Issued by the Red Garter Hotel & Casino located in West Wendover, Nevada in close proximity to interstate 80 and a short distance from the Utah-Nevada state line. The casino has been open since 1983, although has changed ownership several time.
