<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 1836489, member: 33595&quot;]Interesting, thanks.&nbsp; Pity to lose that beautiful reverse design!&nbsp; Still, at ten pounds after bargaining, I think I got my money&#039;s worth.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]304352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]304353[/ATTACH] </p><p>These are actually cupronickel, sorry about the color.&nbsp; Most likely issued by the line when the Ike dollar started to get, if not scarce, then not available readily from the Fed.&nbsp; I do go on Princess every now and then and I&#039;ve never seen these or similar in use, you use your cruise card to gamble in the slot machines (which I do not).&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to glance at the table games to see if there are metallic $1 chips, or .50 for that matter.&nbsp; I know Holland America was still using quarter-equivalent tokens in their machines as of 2011.&nbsp; The &quot;Pacific Princess&quot; referred to on the obverse, is of course the famous Love Boat.&nbsp; They still run a &quot;Pacific Princess&quot; but it was built in 1998.&nbsp; It has many more balconies than the ships featured.&nbsp; And I&#039;ve never seen a captain in shorts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
