I was collecting everything from AC until about a year and a half ago, when the corporate descision was made to issue $10, $20 and $25 LE's ONLY. Most casinos quit issuing $5 LE's. I have no need or want for AC chips because of this. AC shot the collector right out of their market as far as I'm concerned because of these actions, and the results are appearing on the open market for some of the what were more valuable early chips. I have a 1st issue Hilton $2.50, got it as a gift shortly after the casino opened as a Trump casino. That chip was, more than anything, the reason that I started researching chip and token collecting. Too bad that the AC Casinos (in my opinion) turned people like me off by issuing $25 LE's without issuing similar $5 LE's. Area collecting has to be consistant to keep people collecting from that area. $5's were enough to keep me there. I ain't there anymore.
