....response where I explained that Steve Wynn created that CHOKEN thinking that it was what the CCC wanted for high end counters, then it is not unreasonable that he had a lot of them minted. The number on mine is 1253. In my earlier explanation I think I said that the CCC did not have description rules on chips over $1000 so Golden Nugget went ahead and created the $5000 and presented it to the CCC. They didn't like it and rejected it for use in A.C. It was my understanding that when they were rejected by the CCC, Golden Nugget held back an amount of the CHOKENS and returned the bulk back to the manufacturer for destruction (melted down).
