What would you pay for it? What is fair market value?

Give me an idea. What would you pay for a set of 9 different chips?

340-chip mother of pearl set.
¶ assume no original box.
¶ good condition
engraving on just one side
¶ no known provenance.
sizes below, but for comparison purposes: the 500 chip in the middle is 2-3/8" wide.
