Jim if you didn't get my email I sent you this is what I know about this chip. Yes they are real chips, I have a $25 one similar to your $1 chip. I never scanned it to send to Mike on the canada web site of chips. As soon as I figure out windows vista I'll start scanning. Back to the chips, I bought the $25 chip on ebay a couple of years ago. They also had them in presentation sets given to the first (say 100) people who came thru the doors at there Grand Opening. I only saw the sets on ebay a couple times and have not seen them since.
If you want to sell the $1 chip let me know.
