FS 4 SCARCE AL COOPER'S BEACHCOMBER CASINO CHIPS

for sale THIS IS FOR ALL THREE DENOMINATION CASINO CHIPS FROM AL COOPER'S BEACHCOMBER, WHICH NEVER OPENED. THEY WERE DENIED A GAMING LICENSE IN 1951.

CASINO CHIPS FROM HERE ARE ULTRA, ULTRA SCARCE, BASICALLY NON-EXISTENT AND I HAVE ALL THREE DENOMINATIONS.

THIS WAS DUE TO ANOTHER PLACE WITH THE TRADEMARK BEACHCOMBER NAME. IT OPENED IN 1951 AS AL COOPER'S POLYNESIA AND CLOSED THE SAME YEAR 1951. IT WAS LOCATED AT HWY. 91 SOUTH, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

CASINO CHIPS FROM HERE ARE EXTREMELY RARE ALSO, AS IT WAS ONLY OPEN FOR 1 YEAR. I HAVE A $5 CASINO CHIP FROM THERE THAT I MAY SELL.

I JUST HAVE TOO MANY OTHER CASINOS THAT I AM WORKING ON, AROUND 40 OF THEM SO I AM MAKING SOME CUT BACKS ON CASINOS THAT THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO COLLECT FROM THERE.

THESE WILL NOT BE AUCTIONED, AS HONESTLY IF THEY DO NOT SELL IT IS NOT A PROBLEM AS I HAVE QUITE A BIT OF MONEY IN THEM. I LIKE THEM BUT I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TO DISPLAY PROPERLY.

ANYONE THAT WANTS TO MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER ONLY, PLEASE NO LOW BALL OFFERS AS THEY ARE WAY TOO RARE FOR THAT.

THE CHIPS ARE AS FOLLOWS.

1. CG089021, Current, Denom: $5, Issued: 1951, Color: RED, Mold: HCE, Inlay: HS-GOLD, Catalog#: N4116, Rated X, Book Value $699

2. CG045489 Current, Denom: $25, Issued: 1951, Color: NAVY, Mold: HCE, Inlay: HS-GOLD, Catalog#: N4109, Rated U, Book Value $449

3. CG045490 Current, Denom: $100, Issued: 1951, Color: BLACK, Mold: HCE, Inlay: HS-GOLD, Catalog#: N4107, Rated S, Book Value $349

TOTAL BOOK VALUE FOR ALL 3 CHIPS IS $1,497, WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT I PAID, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE DUE TO THE RARENESS OF THEM.

THERE IS NO COMPETITION, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER FIND ALL 3 OF THESE CASINO CHIPS TOGETHER FOR SALE, EVER.

I MAY DO A BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER ON EBAY LATER TODAY AFTER I GET HOME FROM THE CASINO, 4 OF A KINDS LATELY HAVE BEEN RUNNING RAMPID, I HIT 2 IN 15 MINUTES YESTERDAY FOR $875. I HAVE BEEN AVERAGING LIKE 7 TO 10 A DAY LATELY.

I PLAY THE HIGHER DENOMINATION VIDEO POKER $10 A HAND TO $25 A HAND AND OCCASIONALLY $125 A HAND. I WAS PLAYING $25 A HAND LAST DECEMBER WHEN I HIT MY FIRST ROYAL FLUSH FOR $20,000. I HAVE HIT LIKE 3 OR 4 SINCE THEN AND SO HAS MY WIFE.

THINKING OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER, AS I HAVE STACKS OF HAND PAYS THAT I HAVE TO CLAIM EVERY YEAR.

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SELL ANYHTING AS I AM A COLLECTOR, NOT A DEALER. I DO NOT BUY CHIPS TO SELL LATER, I ONLY BUY THE BEST QUALITY CHIPS THAT THERE ARE. NOT LOOKING TO MAKE A PROFIT, JUST RECOUP MY INVESTMENT.
