1961 Proof  Silver Cello Set no envelope  / DUNES hotel metal Casino Chip 1965. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class.
1st item is a 1961 USMint Silver Proof Set with Seal emblem in Cellophane from the USMint in Philadelphia.   Half, Quarter, and Dime are 90% silver.  No envelope.
2nd item is an original metal Dunes Hotel Casino Chip from Las Vegas Hotel that closed and was replaced by the Bellagio.
This is a Father's day item - you can ask your dad if he and mom ever went to the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas.
Most of the Casino Souvenirs today are plastic, this one is metal.  It is almost the same size as a Morgan Dollar    On a letter scale the Metal Casino Chip comes in at around 19 grams, very heavy.
The date on the casino chip I tried to include a picture the date is very small but it is 1965 at the bottom front.   Later the Dunes switched to plastic chips, because people were keeping the heavy metal ones which are way more expensive to produce than plastic chips.   This is a 1 dollar chip at that time.
Father's day gift idea, if your parents ever stayed at the Dunes or were in Vegas before 2000.   Was on the main strip before.   This is an expensive Father's day gift that will bring back fond memories, and start a conversation between your parents about the past.  Can not get metal casino chips any more except old ones on e-bay.
Thanks for looking.
