I don't see this old $500 Hilton baccarat chip in The Chip Rack. The green $20 next to it that has the same design is listed. I would guess both are first issue baccarats for the LV location which would make them early 1970's. I don't know if they had baccarat when the name changed; the International apparently did not as no chips are listed in either reference.
I'd put it at about a "U" level for retail in the notched form. Anybody have one uncancelled? I don't see it in James' book either.
Color is deep purple with 4 cream and 4 red inserts. Mold is the house HILTON. Same design on both sides of this standard 39 mm chip.
