is a five chip set that were made for the never opened "President Casino New Yorker" casino. Chips are in "NEW" condition. Great NYC images on them.
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."
are a $1, $2.50, $5, $25 chip (primary rack) and another $25 (secondary rack).
$15 shipped for the five chips. Only three sets available. First three members to link a message to this post gets a set.
