is a complete set of the primary chips that were made for the never opened "President Casino New Yorker" casino. Chips are in "NEW" condition.

The chips were made for a "cruise to nowhere" venture that was to take off from New York City. The chips were made, but the license was never granted. The chips eventually made their way into the private sector where they were sold off in pieces. Here is a link to an article regarding the casino:

A description of the chips: "Chips are manufactured on the famous Top Hat & Cane mold and contain all the anti-counterfeiting measures Paulson / GPI uses in the manufacturing process for all the major casinos. These measures contain ultraviolet markings, alpha dot (which with a 30x magnifier reads nine lines of the Paulson name), and metal fleck. Paulson no longer manufactures for sale to the public the Top Hat & Cane mold (only casino customers). Also, denominations $1 thru $500 are 39mm chips, with the $ 1000 measuring an oversized 43mm."

As stated, the $1,000 is an oversized chip. The $500 has an incredible image of the World Trade Center.

$80 shipped USPS Priority Mail w/Delivery Confirmation. First link to this post gets them.

I also have a few loose $1, $2.50s, $25s, and ONE pair of the $500s (primary and secondary chip). Email me if interested in them.
