These $20.00 purple chips are pretty nice looking chips. I have a couple in my collection and have seen them come up for sale over the years somewhat regularly. One thing I have noticed is that they all look new. There is another one on ebay now being described " Pristine ". They were issued according to the chip guide in 1964. The H & C (C-J) mold is very evident by the shine you can see in one of my examples. I have never seen one of these that was worn, so the big question is were they ever put in play ? Also, what game were they to be used for ? Maybe another video opportunity for Oscar..... Thanks for looking and your comments. Happy New Year !!!! Photos courtesy of the Mr. Sahara Collection.
