I got these regency chips about 2 months ago(pic below,color way off)).I originally got them because i thought they were from my home town of St Augustine fl.I quickly found they were not.I then found them on the fake-fantasychips-nondelivered-movie-ect.page on the cc>cc site.I saw that they were sold at the Paulson store.At that time i started to do some research.Here is the link to my post a while back....

in that link this is the part i found on the net...
MV SEA HARMONY: The 1957-built STATENDAM was once pristine and the pride of Holland America Line. She is shown here in a sorry state, while in layup at Eleusis alongside AMERIKANIS in June and December of 1998. Although AMERIKANIS was in much better condition, she was sold for scrap in 2001. The SEA HARMONY (with Regency Cruises' logo and the name REGENT STAR on her bows and stern) lingers on, with a starboard list, more rust, and very dim prospects.
After searching more i found alot comes up when you put "regency cruises and regent star" in the search engine together.
About a week ago i was showing my dad some of my chips.When he saw these he said i remember that cruise line.He told me that he had been on Regency once and it was a dump.He said that it was not a day cruise and that he went on a 4 day to a week long cruise with them(he couldnt remember the exact amount of days)He said that he did gamble on that ship.I believe there is enough here to take this out of the fake or fantasy or non delivered cataglory.Is this a legitamate gaming chip? Look at the links and tell me what ya think.TY David for the assistance TC Von McKenzie
here is a link with the line when it was in buisness with the same logo as on the chip.....
