On the Indian Reservation chips:
Treasure Island - I visited this casino many times when I had business in the area but after they removed the $1 chips from the tables. They now use $1 tokens instead of chips. All the $1 chips were cancelled with holes. It took forever just to find a holed chip. I was amazed when I found this chip, the only one I have seen that is not holed.
Lummi - a rare $1 limited edition from an Indian casino, there are very few of these around. It is a nice picture inlay chip and a non-standard color for a $1 chip - yellow.
Isla Vista - is just a real nice looking chip
Riverboats:
The Steamboat chip is from the Diamond Lady that was in Iowa. All chips from this casino are scarce and this is particularly scarce back-up $1 chip that is not even listed in the Official Guide.
The Lady Luck chip has a great picture which is almost the same as the image on a later issue $20 Gold (double eagle).
The Hilton New Orleans chips is just an attractive and hard to find chip. There is a variant of this chip that I am looking for is the same as this chip except that "Hilton" is missing.
Card Rooms: There are few card room chips that command big bucks, but these are scarce $1 chips from card rooms that are particularly attractive to me. As I said in an earlier post, I am partial to casino chips with parrots, and this chip from Chips Casino in Washington state is one of the nicest.
