Not really an answer but here's something I've run across. I came aboard the hobby when Millennium chips were being issued. Got both these chips off the table at Fitzgerald's in Reno. The $5 in '02 and it's typical of chip condition for a year or two. Got the $25 chip in a color-up in '05. Very good condition and I think they probably had just taken it out of the vault. Last year I spotted $100 Fitz Reno Millennium in the the dealer's rack. I'd never seen one on the table there and I imagine that was fresh from the vault too. Stupidly, I didn't buy it from the dealer... Chip Regret #47.
