Looking for more "Las Vegas Dollars"

Back in the 1980's, a company called Coins & Gifts International made a series of tokens for gifts or presentation. There were several with Las Vegas themes such as the airport and convention center. Most tokens were made in four different metals/finishes that gave them different appearances. Most had the image of a Morgan Dollar on the other side and were marked "Copy".

In addition, there were tokens made for 5 different Las Vegas Casino (that I am aware of).

Castaways

Landmark

Maxim

Sahara (not listed in the Token guide)

Stardust

I've been able to find 13 of them. I think there are probably 7 more in the different finishes. The scan below shows those I have. I'd like to trade for or purchase the missing ones. I have one brass Landmark to trade.

These are generally not very expensive... maybe in the $5 to $20 range. The Maxim token was in Doug Saito's auction last week and brought about $50.

I didn't scan them, but I have 5 of the LV Theme tokens with Morgan Dollar obverses and two with St. Gaudens $20 obverses. I'd like to add to these as well if anyone has extras. The Promo Token catalog lists 10 different of the Morgan type; the St. Gaudens type is not listed that I can see.
