Hello Chippers!!

I had a most exciting morning!!! I stopped at a garage sale this am in Fernley, NV - 30 miles east of Reno. As I entered the sale I heard a woman say, "how much are the casino chips?". The response was, "$20.00".

I had to investigate. I approached the buyer and new owner and asked to view the chips in the box she was holding. She had about 80 of the chips. I asked if she would like to sell the entire box for $50.00 and she said, "NOT FOR SALE". At that point, I started to beg for the purchase of just one - she agreed and sold me ONE for a reasonable price.

I returned to the sale person and asked about the box of chips. She told me the daughter of the man who owned and ran the small bar , Montey's Club in Winnemucca, NV, had found the box of chips in her fathers home after he had passed away. She stated she thought the bar was operated during the 1940's but didn't seem certain.

I couldn't wait to get to my car and look the chip up in the Chip Rack - Not there. Had to get home to see if the chip was listed in the CHIP GUIDE. Yes, thanks to Eric Rosenblum CG 061911, it was there.

I suspect we will see the box of chips on ebay or posted individually. I saw atleast 75-80 of the exact chip I am showing here in uncirculated condition.

What do you think the value of that chip is based on the information provided? I would appreciate your opinions.

Hope you enjoyed my adventure!

Thanks!!
