My Top (Nevada Club) Ten

Since my collecting interest is somewhat specialized, so then will be my top ten submission. Here they are, in no particular order, along with a brief explanation of why I chose 'em. grin Please feel free to comment on my comments, and/or share any Nevada Club rarites that you might have.

1. The H&C roulettes are not plentiful. The gray color is VERY rare - I know of two.

2. This is a VERY common chip, but not in AUC condition. The scan doesn't show the beautiful condition very well.

3. The most common TR King souvenir chip used in the Nevada Club money clip is RED. I have never seen a green chip money clip, but this one shows the obvious signs of once living in a clip - beveled edges and dings from extraction.

4. An error chip - I believe it to be unique.

5. A TR King sample

6. Another sample chip. I believe the Nevada Club inlay could very well be the protype for the inlay that was chosen for the 'Redfield' roulette chips (N5275,N5279)

7. Again, a TR King sample. Note the glue stains from the sample board (and cool inlay) on the reverse.

8. The common $20 chip has Nevada Club "Reno" on the obverse, and "Reno & Crystal Bay" on the reverse. There are a total of four of this error chip known (with "Reno" only on both sides). The Chip Rack lists another error with "Nevada & Crystal Bay" on both sides, but I have never seen one.

9. N5267 - #99 of 99 made.

10. And, finally, here is why I can legitimately call myself the "#1 Nevada Club Collector" vbg (For those of you with bad eyes, it's #1)
