Silver Proof Tokens

Casinos throughout Nevada have from time to time, put out Silver Proof versions of their regularly minted tokens. I have collected a number of these, and thought it would be a good idea to share this information with other collectors.

Some of these tokens are stamped with the works Sterling, or with .999 Silver. Some have plain edges, and others have the same reeding patterns as the mint run tokens. All are plainly Silver, but differ in how brilliant the shine is. Some of these tokens were only issued to high rollers, others were sold in the casino.

I hope this page is useful and enjoyable. Click on the thumbnail of the tokens to view them.

I do have quite a few of these available for sale. They are listed within the regular Nevada Tokens.
