Big difference though as with a new issue anyone can walk into the casino and obtain them. If you have 1 or 2 persons controlling say a few hundred chips they can get more for them. Also new issues $1 chips are made by the thousands and remade over and over as people take the $1 for souvenirs.

When I first found these I thought I really got a tough chip to get.I bought 6 off the seller and he wouldn't say how many he had. The shortly after another seller offered a box of 100. Now I know it is not so tough.

I am sure Mike from Florida will get more than $6 each for them as it seems he has people lined up waiting to buy them. When they tapper off and the market is saturated (as there are so many people who collect Illegals) then they might be lower.
