Don ,

YES - this $20 49er chip could have easily migrated to Alaska ( or anywhere else ) for the purposes of an illegal game . This chip was used at a Sacramento card room . Richard Stock may have purchased the chip while he lived in California ( before he moved up to Alaska ) - or - he may have purchased the $20 chip after tne move . Either way , it is considered a California card room chip since it was definitely played in California . If it was also used in an illegal game in Alaska , I suspect that you could also consider it an illegal Alaska chip .

BTW - there is also a $50 49er chip that goes along with this $20 chip . The $50 chip is Small Key , same GHS , color is cream with 3 yellow & 3 maroon red .
