~~~ "This is 'not' a casino chip."

Something one doesn't usually hear from a seller while out in the field...

And thanks everyone else for something that's been just hanging out in a poker chip book for probably 20 years.

It was a coin show in Milwaukee, so my usual "do you have any casino chips or tokens" at every booth, all the way around, and dropping cards. I'll guess that she didn't know and didn't want to misrepresent them? The bags of common, aluminum free play tokens from Las Vegas, she was asking $3 each which was too much for my taste.

There's a Winter show in Green Bay, WI. I haven't been in years. Very nice local affair in a Holiday Inn. I handed cards to every dealer at every table, two years. Never one email.

Now and then, and I mean more than twice, I've had people say they have a book of the Franklin Mint tokens "somewhere" or maybe at the shop. Otherwise one of the most entertaining searches is the cigar boxes full of encased cents. And then there are the people who have boxes of tokens as well.

Still there's go to be someone, at some coin shop, in Wisconsin, that has some old casino chips for me?

Island Bingo and they had $20 chips?

Ah and like so many, it's change the name of the city, from Redwing to:

Treasure Island Casino
5734 Sturgeon Lake Road
Welch, MN 55089

Odd, same address, different ZIP and city.
