I would think they would show the date(s) if they were silver. So, I'm guessing they might not be.

I may not be much help, but this is what I know, Indiana has 3 big casinos two being boats that travel up and down the river , this paticular rolls says tropicana casino from Atlantic city, I believe one of the casino boats was owned by the same people. I say this because my sister worked for years on these boats its a possibility as to how it came to be at an Indiana coin dealer. Just some extra info for you.

I wouldn't bid on this...Why? If you are bidding on it to get silver you have no way if to know how much (if any) is in there. And if you are buying them for quarters to collect..coins from the Casino will be the most worn coins you could possibly purchase. Yes it looks legit...but I'd stil stay away!

I live 5 miles from the Trop. Yes, it's an original roll. It can be no older than 1981, the year the Trop opened, and it'll contain circulated, contemporary quarters which will likely have machine damage because those rolls are formed from slot winnings. If you want a quarter roll from the Trop, I'll go get you one. For face value, because that's what it's worth.  |

I repeat, this has no value beyond face.

They were unable to travel up and down the river (at least the Ohio) because the Kentucky state line is so close to the Indiana shore that the casinos could not sail without operating in Kentucky where they had no legal authority. |

There are now five casinos in NWI on Lake Michigan.
I have been to two of them, but that was back in the late 1990's. They were docked and did not go out onto the lake back then, but I think one or two of them go on cruises now.
As far as I know, they only use tokens (which I have kept) and electronic debit cards.

Any betters out there taking action that the feedback on this roll comes back and says "Wow, 15 SILVER QUARTERS, BEST SELLER EVER!" ?
