Your anonymity in your post is making many here suspect that you are being a bit disingenuous, so be prepared for some push-back on your story. While Steven Kidd's response is perhaps a bit of an over exaggeration (the chip does and likely will continue to have some value greater than "worthless") his statement is based on a multitude of things that have suddenly happened regarding Atlantic City Playboy chips. (I might add that your post is just one more peculiar thing to add to the rash of activity now happening.)

Giving you the benefit of the doubt (I'll assume that you actually have one $25 Playboy chip, a gift from your Dad) I can tell you that the chip is redeemable for $25 at the NJ Gaming Commission office. At the present time, its value to a collector is in flux, and probably will stay that way for some time to come.

But the greater question is, since the chip was a gift from your Father, and you've kept it as a "lucky charm" it seems that the intrinsic sentimental value far out-weighs the monetary value, so what difference does the monetary value make in your case?

Please feel free to respond, but in the absence of a email address, I don't think there will much more said to you on this subject.

Sincerly,

Jim Follis
