I have an opportunity to acquire this $5 Frisco Club, Reno, NV, T-mold chip. TCR values it at "O" ($150 - $174) in Average condition. C/W has a top value of $150, with a low of $75. TCR indicates 1,012 known and both put the chip as 1951/1952 timeframe, which was the open/close dates of the casino.

The pic above is the actual chip, and it appears to be in Average condition. I have not seen the other side, but will have that opportunity before buying.

So, given the current economic climate, as it relates/affects chip pricing, what acquisition value, with the intent to add to one's collection, would you place on this chip (assuming the reverse is in the same condition)?

Please feel free to offer your estimate, with or without explanation.

Thanks,

Jim
