Another visit to my usual circuit of five casinos today, with pretty good results.


**$550/Halves**

Just one 1969-D, plus another Presidential dollar came out of one machine, my first John Adams. The edge inscriptions look okay.


**$80/Nickels**

16 pre-1960: 1941, 1943-P (silver, ;D), 1946-S (2), 1949, 1952, 1954-D (3), 1956, 1957-D, 1958-D (2), 1959, 1959-D (2)

Canadian: 1968

Doubled down on my usual nickel amount and it produced some silver. The 68 Canadian is the oldest I've ever found from a slot machine, though I found a 1962 from a bank box once.


**$10/Pennies**

Wheaties: 1942, 1944-S, 1945, 1953-D, 1953-S

Canadian: 1982

Five wheats from $10 is above average! ;D I may go again Tuesday but that's tentative, so my July totals may be set.

Hi...Which casino's did you go to? My buddies are stationed at Nellis AB and they say all they have there now is coupons for pay out. Is this true. I am taking a trip to Lousianna in Sept or Oct. They have a few Casino's up there. Id hate to make wasted trip. Thanks for the help. $CuervoJ

Tell your buddies to try downtown Fremont St., specifically Fitzgerald's, Binion's, Fremont, El Cortez, Gold Spike and The Western. Just a block away from the Sahara is a Cheer's kinda casino called the Eureka...totally coin-op.

Speaking of the Fitzgerald, three more half dollar machines have been mothballed there, bringing their total down to 19. :-[
