I was recently approached by an individual that I did not previously know with an offer to buy a set of $5, $25 and $100 chips from the Gold Dust casino in Reno. He said that he was new to chipping and got my name from a borrowed copy of Casino Chip and Token News. The $100 chip is reported as being unique in The Official Guide. Both TCR and The Official Guide value this set of chips well over $1,000. The individual claimed that he had three sets, was keeping one and selling the others. He wanted over $500 for the set. I also noticed another set being offered for sale. I questioned the seller and it turns out that he got his chips from the same guy that offered the chips to me. Well it seems that this guy is not being truthful about the quantity of chips that were found. I also checked with some other contracts and found out that several of them also got sets of these chips recently.

I don't know how many chips were found, but I do know that someone is not disclosing what is going on. Caveat Emptor.
