Wagon Wheel Saloon Lake Tahoe Stickered Peace Dollar

Wagon Wheel Saloon Sticker Description
This sticker has red lettering with a gold background with a blue wagon wheel in the center. The sticker includes a small buffalo/steer skull with a small cactus. The wording on the coin reads: “I CAME FROM WAGON WHEEL SALOON * LAKE TAHOE * HIGHWAY 50 * STATE LINE NEVADA”

History
This coin dates from pre 1960. In researching this I found that the Wagon Wheel Saloon has been renamed 3 times. It is now called Harveys Lake Tahoe and is one of the largest landmarks in Lake Tahoe. From 1944 to shortly before 1960 the casino was named the Wagon Wheel Saloon. Here are the links to several great articles that you might be interested in reading (link, link, link). This coin is most likely from the early 1950s and would have been a souvenir in the gift shop.

This coin is highly collectable. It is not extremely rare, but it is uncommon to find one in good condition like the one pictured above. This coin can collect a premium if it is in good condition. The uniqueness of the sticker adds to its value and it is a coin any collector would like to have in his or her collection.

Lady Luck Sticker Dollars

About:
The Lady Luck stickered dollars are some of the most common coins that can be found. This is a common coin for those starting out their collection. I have seen these stickers in $2, $2.50, $3.00, $4.50 and $5.00 denominations. There most likely are more, which based on the dollar amount on the sticker would/could substantially add to the coins value.

These coins can have several different sticker variations. Some stickers have Las Vagas Nev on them where others leave out the location all together. The images below are a good example of what you might find.

History:
These coins were used by the Lady Luck Casino in slot machines as payout coins. They could then be exchanged for the dollar amount. Many visitors would keep these coins as a memento of their trip.

Note:If you have any more history of these coins or a story about these coins please leave a comment.
