The Antique Chip Code Session will be Friday June 25th in the Napa room at 7PM. Before I go any further, we would like to thank the Casino Coin and Gaming Token Collectors Club for allowing us to do this. The purpose of the Code Session is to allow anybody that has an old chip access to the people who are responsible for coding Antique chips and insure the future of our Antique Chip Collecting hobby. The Antique chip coding responsibility is in the hands of Ralph Strandwold and Ralph will available at the code session to consider your Antique Chips for coding. We are uncertain at this time if Dale Seymour will be at the convention. If you would like to be involved with the Antique Chip Code Session, please let me know. We could use some help from an expert on Ivory and Mother of Pearl as well.

In order for your chip to qualify as Antique, it will need to have been made before 1946. Illegal club chips fall into their own classification and they will not be coded.

Here is a link to several chips that will be considered for coding this year. Some will make it and some will not. http://www.antiquepokerchips.com/UncodedChips.pdf

SUPPLEMENT of CHIP CODES: Here is a link to the supplement of chip codes that includes all Antique Chips that have been coded since Dale Seymour's 1998 revised edition Antique Gambling Chips. If you do not have Dale's book you can pick one up at the convention for the great price only $15 for the hard cover edition! If you have one of the chips that we do not have a scan of (shown in black & white) please take it to the code session so we can get a good scan of it or email a scan if possible.
