You are bidding on a genuine
SONOMA INN
hotel/casino $1 (one dollar) gaming/slot token
(1966 Franklin Mint “Proof-like” version, obsolete token)
from Winnemucca, Nevada.
“Proof-like” tokens are limited edition versions made by the mint (Franklin Mint) for collectors/presentation, they are usually identical to the casino’s regular strike version, except they are struck with a highly polished/reflective finish and produced in very limited quantities. This token is a standard 37.1 mm in diameter (standard $1 slot size from 1965-2000s, slightly heavier at 0.8 oz vs. the standard 0.7 oz.) and made from Solid Franklinium II, a nickel-silver alloy mixture. Around 2000-2500 proof-like sets and 500 full proof sets were produced each year from 1965-1969 (each year had a different design). Today, the number of existing uncirculated condition proofs or proof-likes are likely a fraction of that.
Very few, if any casinos use metal casino tokens in slot machines anymore due to electronic ticketing introduced during the early 2000s. The majority of casino tokens were destroyed by their respective properties and the limited amount of existing (especially well-preserved) ones kept by customers will continue to climb in value as the years go on. Because they are rare, casino slot tokens make for excellent gifts/souvenirs and collector’s pieces! Get them before they are gone forever!
As you can see in the pictures below, this token is in excellent, uncirculated condition, as shown
(and has a more polished appearance in person, due to the angle of lighting)
. The photographs below are original. I have made them as detailed as possible with different viewing angles to give you a good idea on the general condition of the token you are bidding on. I take all of my auctions seriously and take great care of my items. I ship all of my items safely, securely in bubble mailers, and promptly (usually same day as payment received).
I also inspect and clean (no loose dirt residue or casino smell) all my chips/coins before shipping!
