Some years ago I picked these chip fragments up at one of the G2E events in Las Vegas. I got them from a vender who was offering his destruction services to casinos. (Oh! The horror!)
Back then (it must have been about 5 or 6 years ago) I recall posting about this destruction service and I provided a scan of these chips along with a couple others, as well as tokens. With respect to these fragments, I received an email from Greg Susong saying that he wanted to use the scans for his ChipGuide project as they were examples of back-up rack chips from the casino and there were no known un-damaged examples in collector hands.
Well, seeing how the casino is now closed, has the back-up rack ever come out? More specifically, are there any examples of these $25 and $100 chips in un-damaged condition? If so, we could certainly use better scans for ChipGuide and then move these scans to a different area.
Thanks for looking!
Jim
