I realize Harvey was not always right and mistakes were made transcribing some of his notes, some after he passed on.

That said:
Miles Custer did exist.
Per Jay:
Miles Custer doesn't show up on the radar until 1949 in Pittman Nv.
He ran the Magnesium Bar/Casino 1949-53 then is listed as retired after that.

The man existed.

Per you:
There has never been anyone named Miles E. Custer associated with any business or property in Stateline, Nevada.

IMO that can not be stated as truth. Way too many people in and out of the business over the years, dealers, boxmen, floormen, cage people, etc. They hired people without gaming approval.

That said: I do not have a dog in this race. I don't have the MEC chip. I quit collecting N NV over 5 years ago.

But I share all available info I have with other collectors.

I don't care where the chip was used.
