This token was on ebay this week (auction 141466042991). I don't have it and did bid, but another sniper wanted it more. Might want to add this to TCR.
Note that there is a $1,000 paper chip with the Milton Jaffe name on it in TCR but not a silver aluminum one with this name. None of my aluminum chips are blue; is it possible this is really E9205 and there's an error in the listing? Or that some collectors' scanners make them look bluish?
By the way, does anyone know for sure what these were used for? I've never seen a metal one with a hole that showed wear from a key chain. The paper ones in plastic had no hole. The values are way too high for reasonable promo-tokens in 1950's dollars and have no counterfeit protection. Do you suppose these were given to the higher-ups at Stardust as a cashable bonus or maybe even as their paycheck? There was lots of cash in the skim at the Stardust that had to leave the casino some way.
