This token is part of a 32 piece half dollar series minted by Franklin Mint in 1967. 29 of the 32 different versions were struck for Nevada casinos. The remaining 3 were struck for dog racing tracks; 2 in Florida and 1 in Arizona. At the end of this run (or earlier) of "Half Dollar Token of the Day" posts, this complete set will be offered for sale. The set to-be-offered is from a consignment lot.

In the meantime, I have received, and will entertain offers for this complete set.

Of all the Franklin Mint fifty cent tokens that are a part of the consignment lot, I can only make one complete set of these fifty cent tokens. After that, I can make a full set, minus 3 tokens (Flagler Racetrack, FL, the Dunes and the Las Vegas Club).

And after that, I can make a set that is missing 9 tokens. The above 3 missing from set #2, and; Daytona Beach, Fl., Silver Slipper, LV., Hacienda, LV., Riverside, Reno, Sahara Tahoe, Stateline and Carson City Nugget, Carson City.

After all that, I then have these stragglers:

Four Queens, Diamond Jim's Nevada Club, Harvey's, El Cortez, The Mint, Aladdin, Ponderosa (2), Hotel Bonanza, California Club, Frontier Hotel and Club Cal-Neva.

As mentioned in these daily posts, the full set is now available for offers and I do have at least one offer in-hand. Sets 2 and 3 are in discussion for how they are to be sold (incomplete sets or parted out). However, the above noted 12 stragglers are available now, as individual items at a price of $6 each, with a minimum purchase of 2 tokens and includes shipping in the US. Acceptable forms of payment includes PayPal and most forms of snail mail remittance.

This sale only applies to the 12 referenced stragglers and not the complete set, nor individual pieces of the partial sets. I can provide scans if wanted, but all these tokens are uncirculated.

Thanks for looking,

Jim
