Thanks for sharing. It exemplifies the pride that all the artists put into the designs of the Limited Edition Silver Strikes. Some are copyrighted, many are reused by different casinos as they decide to commemorate a special event.

I had a buyer on eBay ask why I wouldn't take $9.00 a piece for my $10 silver strikes. He reasoned, after all, the pandas are a whole troy ounce and he could buy them for $19.00 each.

I explained to him that the pandas are punched out by a machine, year after year, with just the date changed. Each $10 Silver Strike has been designed and created by an artist, then transferred in limited quantity to a silver center as requested by a Casino. They are miniature works of art.
Just like the Las Vegas Sign, designed so many years ago, they show off the glamour of Las Vegas.

Taking time to admire the beauty of each Silver Strike certainly enhances the enjoyment of the hobby.
