It was a great old inlayed poker chip. And whats even worse is that i think the intrinsic value has been destroyed. Yours is a perfect example of someone who had them and knowing they werent Nazi chips thought it would be fine.
I'll tell you an interesting story. My mother had a close friend who had been in a concentration camp. She had the numbers tattooed on her wrist. She spent years trying to get the government to stop using the abbrebiation for Social Security Number. You can understand why she would be a bit shoock up when seeing the black spot where she was supposed to fill in her: SS#
The moral of this story is that sometimes we have to have compasion for people and their situations. What may seem like a very innocent thing to the everyday person may actually bring back horrible memories.
