Mike, years ago, I had several high denomination chips from various Nevada casinos that had been made into money clips and key rings. I decided to see how many chips I could rescue. They were attached in 3 different ways. Some were just set in with the bezel overlapping the chip, these were easy, I just carefully bent back the bezel. The chip came out OK, but one I had was actually shaved down to fit the bezel. One was glued, this ruined the other side of the chip. The third was drilled and I used to know a guy in Parumph who could take care of that.
