I have chips from a local casino that were never officially released.... 50 cent chips that looked TOO much like the $100 chips- dark blue instead of black with same color inserts. They were supposed to be destroyed, but an unknowing cage worker sold 20 of them to me. Interesting, but time will tell if they are "Rare". also, if they made 1000, and you have 995, then someone else has some too.
