Re: $1 Slot Token Assistance
In Response To: Re: $1 Slot Token Assistance ()

Sorry, Las Vegas is AC 702.

There's more to token pricing than condition. Actually, few token collectors will pay anything for a specimen more worn than XF. The stuff you pick out of the slot tray is worth a dollar at the cage and that's all.

Although there is not generally enough info on mintages and scarcity to make generalized statements on its effect on price, some clubs do demand a premium. Most notably Landmark and Sands, because everyone recognizes them by reputation or picture. There are dollar tokens valued at $25 in Vince's book. I'd say most XF or better old tokens go for $5-8... lots of exceptions, though.

Current tokens in UNC condition generally go for $2-3, just like chips, as you are really paying for someone to get them and inventory them for you. Costs more to ship them though.

Also remember that Franklin mint sold tokens in collector sets in 1965, 66, 67, 68, and 69. These are often found in UNC or even P/L or Proof and quite low cost due to the quantity made and the fact that nearly all survive for collectors today.
