$10 Casino Tokens weigh approx. 37 grams - This is NOT the SILVER WEIGHT.
The outer ring of the token is BRASS and the weight of the brass must be deducted from the total weight of the token. This leaves approx. 0.60 troy ounce of silver in each token up until 2005. In 2005, a thinner center (approx. 0.50 troy ounce) started being produced. In 2009, CLAD tokens appeared which are not .999 silver, but are Silver Plated.
Please use caution in purchasing tokens - they are Limited Edition Collector Items. As SILVER purchases they are great to own as well, if you watch what you are buying.
Happy Collecting.
