In years past, I had some really nice chip finds in the antique stores on La Mesa Blvd. downtown La Mesa. Haven't been there for quite awhile so there could be some chips there.

When you drive back up go to Temecula. Not the many antique stores downtown, but the two huge antique store warehouses behind them off Rancho California..had some real nice finds there several years ago. Also in the middle of Old Town is club member Ron Minsberg' son's coin store..they always have a ton of chips there and silver strikers..many binders and bargain boxes.

Also you may want to try some of the ones in Poway..Rene' from Pawn Stars shop is there, though I doubt you'll find many chips there..
