Silver Slipper for discussion

First the two chips in the scan one has more wear than the other , but are these different

chips coloring and gold versus silver hot stamp.

Next where were these used were they Las Vegas , Edmonton or possibly both.

The two chips pictured came in a large Canadian collection I bought awhile back and were

identified as Canadian (this collection did have a few ID errors ) . In this collection were also

a good number of US chips mainly Nevada.

The hot stamps on these chips are the same as the die card mold chips which were used in

Las Vegas and not used in Alberta.

To complicate things further these chips seldom if ever turn up in Alberta other than in this collection,

I did however come across a box of the $5 chips of the Horsehead mold same series that turned up in

Vancouver a few years back , most of these were worn beyond being collectible.

Is it possible these chips could have been used in both places ? Las Vegas for a period of time and then

returned to the manufacturer only to be re sold and used in Alberta.

Any thought from the experts.

These chips are part of a large group of chips I will be trading off/ or possibly taking offers on.

Look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming convention.
