Hi David back in the day I was at Sharkeys casino in Gardnerville Nevada ....I got to talking to Sharkey the owner and told him I collect chips he brought me into a back room where there were dozens of paint buckets 5 gallons full of the Bud Jones coin inlay Sahara chips I asked him where the heck he got them and he said somebody from the county dump up in Reno brought them up to him and he was going to use them in the table top display .... I said can I have one he said no .... grab a handful of each which I did and that’s the rest of my story ....Take care and I love your collection of chips
