Thanks to my good friend Stu, I am the proud owner of a Viejas Valley Casino $1 Brass Core chip. A beauty! What I know about the Viejas chip is that they were only on the tables approx 3 weeks when they first opened in 1984 then pulled. I dont know the reason why. Then looking thru my CA collection I notited this Top Of The Vine Brass Core chip. (See Below)
Looking closer at both it is obvious that Top Of The Vine must have purchased ??? the chips from Viejas and re-stamped them taking off the Viejas name and putting in there own? The back of the chips are completely different. Any and all information is appreciated. Happy Holidays!
