$1,000 Flamingo HILTON chips, has one ever...

been seen? I am surprised to see that there is no listing for a $1,000, live action, gaming chip for the Flamingo-HILTON in The Chip Rack. Now that the the "HILTON" name is gone and I believe the Flamingo has an all new rack, and presumably the "Flamingo HILTON" rack has been destroyed, will we ever see what the $1,000 chip, used from 1970(1) - 2000(1), ever looked like? Perhaps there never was a $1,000. Hard to believe for a Strip casino.

I ask because I have this chip that I believe to be a prototype. The inlay artwork (same on both sides) shows the familiar Flamingo flameing flower logo and includes the words "HILTON Flamingo HILTON" from that same marquee. This example is a fully compressed chip in a plain mold.

So, has anyone seen the real $1,000 or this prototype (which I may have posted previously)?

Thanks for looking!

Jim
