Found a jack pot token on ebay #370126238104 they're asking 17.99 each. I'm curious about the value since I have about 50 of them in a drawer at home. I had no idea they could be sterling silver and worth so much. Anyone have more information on this token?
Happy holidays!

I'd be highly sceptical that they actually are silver. The seller specialises in china, glass, silverware etc and not coins and tokens. I've never heard of anyone wasting perfectly good silver by striking dime-sized slot machine tokens from it. Of course, I could easily be wrong - I know very little about American tokens.

I'd suggest getting a magnet and seeing if any of your tokens stick to it. If the stick strongly, they're solid nickel or perhaps steel. If they stick weakly, they're nickel-plated brass. If they don't stick at all, they're cupronickel or maybe silver.

Tried the magnet test and they stick very strong to it. It's good to know these things, appreciate the info!
