I'm in Paris for work and passed an antique store that had a vase filled with old Palais de la Mediterranee jetons. I bought a handful and I'm wondering if I should go back and negotiate for the rest. I'm only here until tomorrow (Thursday), so would have to make the decision rather quickly. Each of you either collects or has an interest in jetons, so I'm reaching out for help. I'm very new to chipping, only been collecting for about 3 weeks. I don't know if I've stumbled onto a rare find or a bucket of junk. If others are interested in some, then I could pick some more up or have more incentive to make an offer for the rest.

Most of them are loose. They do have one 'set' which includes a white 10k plaque, with one exception, the samples I grabbed from the loose bucket are in better condition. They wanted 50EUR for the set. It is the only plaque they have. It is definitely used and worn. It is similar to the one shown here but with only one lunette (is that the right term?).

I posted some pics and more description here:

The pics are not great as I only have my cell phone and the hotel lighting is not so good, but I can try to do better, if you'd like.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated,
