Silver Strike Slot Machine Coins
Question: How much are silver strike coins worth they say .999 pure silver on them and they weigh 1 oz each. They are from casinos in Las Vegas. – From Lou in New York.
Hi Lou,
Even though your silver strike coins weigh 1 ounce each, only the middle of them are actually silver which usually accounts for about 60% of the coin. As precious metal refiners we only give returns based on the amount of silver available in the coin. We usually payout 90% of the silver value back to you. Most often the outside of the coin is made from brass that we would recycle but the amount is so small that we do not offer a return on the brass.
The 'Silver Strikes' in the following table are of the $10 denomination and are 42mm in diameter. Each has a.999 pure silver core and a heavy gold electroplated outer brass ring. I understand the silver content to be around 0.6 oz. 'Silver Strikes' were issued in limited editions and were premiums one could win in certain slot machines.
