Silver Queen
Virginia City, Nevada
Designed by owners Carroll and Ruby Eaton as a tribute to
Virginia City's once great Silver Mining industry - an in-
dustry whose production stabilized the Federal treasury
during the Civil War and later altered the world's monetary
structure. The Silver Queen's dress contains 3,261 Silver
Dollars. The belt alone contains 28 Twenty Dollar gold pieces.
The picture is fifteen feet high and eight feet wide. While
only a few of the coins are of Nevada (Carson City) mintage,
a large percentage of them undoubtedly contain silver that
was first mined thousands of feet beneath this very building.
One of Nevada's most unusual Casino displays.
