I do have a very nice collection of DieCut & Reverse DieCut chips. When I find something new to me I get that cOoL jazzed feeling that I found something old & mysterious with a strong link to American gambling history. This new find for me comes from a non-chip collector and he said “They belonged to a relative that belonged to the club (UNQUA CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB) and hung out there all the time. She was a card player and slipped these out all the time back in her day”.
These are for sale. I only have 2 extra sets of 3, with a few extra Blue & Yellows. The white is normally the most common, but I only have 3 white chips and one is in my collection that is why it is listed a little higher. All 3 of the white chips have short hair line edge cracks. Just let me know if you are interested. I could not find these in the USPC records. Having BIG fun finding chips, Steve.
From the website of UNQUA CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB, 31 Unqua Place, Amityville NY.
