Hi Don:
Thanks for the e-mail and scan. I have the chips you show in my collection but I don't have any others. I have a Cuban friend who is a coin dealer and he travels frequently between Havana and Mexico City. He will be in Mexico City at the end of april and he wioll be bringing a fresh supply of Casino chips. I usually trade these for coins among my clients here in Mexico City. However as I am becoming more interested in Casino Chips (Cuba and Las Vegas) I am looking to trade my duplicates.
I have found that Chip collecting is still a lot cheaper than coins and there is a history behind the casinos. In fact over the next few months I will be publishing a series of articles (in Spanish) on chip collecting and I do hope this will awaken interest here in Mexico.
By the way I am the editor/publisher of a Spanis Language numismatic bulletin called LA CECA (The Mint).
Saludos from Mexico City.
Chris Bolton
