for sale Scarce set of Presentation Proof tokens

These Bonanza, Fallon tokens were apparently made for presentation to casino execs when a new design token was ordered or was pending. Tokens were made in 1984 by Green Duck Mint. Dan Wickett lists them as catalog NV0169. O'Neal catalog is 1899 but Janice didn't list the three tokens separately. The scan shows the three metals the tokens were struck in; the normal nickel silver, .999 fine silver, and 14 K gold. All the strikes have frosted devices.

I'd like to see these remain in the hobby, but as they contain .5 T.O. of gold and .9 T.O. of fine silver, they would have to sell at melt value or better. Note that the gold version is struck on a thinner planchet than the other two metals.

If you have an interest in purchasing this set, email me in the next few days.

Doug, I'll email you separately about these tokens.
