How much silver is in a Las Vegas ten dollar token?

Answer 1

Half oz

Answer 2

There is no silver in any dollar tokens. They are iron with chrome plating. Silver "Ike" dollars were used in the past for casino play, now just tokens are used, because they are not legal tender except in the casino that issues them, for gambling purposes only. ======================================= There is no iron in these tokens. The question was about a $10.00 token, which usually is a "limited edition", encased in clear plastic, and does contain slightly less than 0.6 troy oz of pure silver. The remainder is brass - only the center is silver. They are usually marked: ".999 fine silver" - which is correct for the center portion. When silver was bringing a high price a couple of months ago, many people with these tokens punched out the silver. A few even tried to sell the remaining worthless brass doughnuts on eBay. The tokens are not worth much more than face value, if that.

Answer 3

What is the face value? Is the entire token silver; or, is it a silver center in brass? (Marked .999 silver). If the face value is less than $10, I doubt it has any silver. A $10 token, silver center, is worth only face value (about 0.6 troy oz if silver in the tokens)

Answer 4

It really depends on the casino. Some will state the silver content on the coin itself, or it may be on the edge of the coin. Keep in mind though that not all casinos produced a silver $40 casino chip and so the coin could contain no silver at all.
