The stuff buried in Pahrump was silver tokens. That was unearthed some years ago.
When the Horseshoe was closed down by gaming, she had outstanding debts of 5 million. I believe the property had already been sold and leased back so she had no assets.
The seller, who has been selling these for maybe 15 years, is her nephew.
The inventory was around 650,000 chips. I did have a breakdown of the majority of it back then as I and the late Mike Spinetti made an offer of $1m for the lot but it was turned down flat, and the seller has proceeded to sell them one by one on ebay since then.
