No No No No No. dont get the chippers thinking the chips are Idaho. Oh No!
Yes the $5 & $25 are marked ELY, NEVADA. Its shown in my book. The .25 has a bear skin with no location hot stamped. The $1 is an odd one with just the name.
My chips, 2 $25's came from Ely they were bad & sold them. I know of one other came from there too like mine from the dump. Another, my perfect one was from Elko but from a guy who's dad worked at Alpine Ely.
Hadnt heard of the Idaho one before that is very interesting. Chips did get taken from one place to another thats for sure. Will wait & see if anyone find some Ketchum chips.
