Good morning everyone! Hope you have all been well and getting excited for the convention this week. I've been busy and have not had time to make video but finally found some time. Today I'm talking about the story behind the chips that were originally going to be used at the Kings Crown in Las Vegas, but never did and then were used at Sharkey's in Gardnerville. It's an interesting thing I didn't know about until maybe a month ago when somebody showed me a picture and it finally clicked in my head. So Kings Crown wasn't able to get their gaming license in 1965-6 so the chips were manufactured but never went into play. They were all uncirculated so Sharkey's had a great idea to buy those chips to be used at their casino. When they opened up in 1971 they were saving time and money. They went ahead and used the previous Kings Crown chips as roulette chips, in my understanding, which they just put their own labels over the Kings Crown labels. Later they would use the same chips and made $1, $5 and $25 labels to go over the original labels. People would notice this once everyone started collecting them and it's almost like a hidden secret in my opinion which is pretty sweet.

Here's the video if you'd like to learn a little more and see side by side pictures!
