Ten Dollar Token Appraisal

Skyway Grand Opening 1999 Ten Dollar Gaming Token

This item is a bimetallic gaming token, housed within a clear protective plastic capsule. The token features a silver-toned central disc encircled by a contrasting gold-toned outer ring. The central silver disc prominently displays a stylized classical column with a flaming torch atop it, symbolizing a grand opening or perhaps an enduring presence. To the left of the torch, the text "SKYWAY GRAND OPENING" is visible, stacked in two lines. To the right of the torch, the year "1999" is clearly inscribed, indicating the date of the event or token issuance. The outer gold-toned ring bears the inscription "LIMITED EDITION TEN DOLLAR GAMING TOKEN" around its upper circumference. The lower part of this gold ring, though partially obscured, appears to read "ATLANTIS CASINO...". The details within the design, such as the fluting on the column and the flames of the torch, show clear, sharp engraving, suggesting good craftsmanship for a gaming token. The token appears to be in excellent condition, likely due to being preserved in its clear plastic capsule, with no apparent wear, scratches, or tarnishing on the visible surfaces. The bimetallic construction adds to its visual appeal and distinguishes it from standard monetary coins or single-material tokens. Its limited edition status and association with a specific grand opening event suggest it might hold collector's value beyond its stated monetary worth at the casino.
