twice a year. And yes I would play the machine or machines if they were stocked with $40 all .999 silver strikes. I would expect the odds would be the same as they are now meaning you might win 3 with a $10 bill or you may get nothing for a $100 bill. Any extras would be traded or sold just as they are now. For what someone else is will to pay to add to their collections.

It is fun to get now 30 to trade in for a real silver $300 just as it was fun to play and get 20 to trade in for the $200. I do gather 30 clads to trade in. I have my 30 ready for the trade. Ok, $300 in clad face value for $150 roughly in silver does not really compute to a normal thinker. But for a silver strike collector, it's great. Shawn and the 4 Queens work very hard for all of us and I really appreciate all of their efforts.

Looking forward to the end of the month,
