    Franklin Mint also produced some very nice casino tokens in the mid to late 1960's. They made lots of proofs for collectors most of which are still easy to find mint sealed but for a real challenge try to find EF-BU business strikes. The token illustrated here may not be the best example, but if you can get past the Halloween mask-like faces the quality is evident.

    I've been collecting FM a very long time...never knew about the casino chips/tokens, nice!
    Probably because I don't gamble. I play poker. :D
    Something new to research, fun! Thanks.
    Got any resources for listings of these FM chips?

    There was an FM Collectibles book published by Krause Pubs. back in the day. It was written by FM so the mintage figures though incomplete are official.

    Even with a bit of pmd these Jamaica designs look great, IMO. DSCN4906~2.JPG DSCN4907~2.JPG
