~~~ cataloged as such... and noted being from NOLA (the O) .. and I tried my best in explaining it wasn't an "O" but rather a back-to-back, interlaced "CC" monogram... and, even though I had hundreds of the chip (worn), I knew I had one or two examples of the chip in its original state of preservation, somewhere in a box in storage. Anyway, after a few folks accepted them being a CC, the NOLA attribution was tossed and someone decided to call it a chip that may be from a casino in Cuba... and that caught on real fast. Now, within the past few years the chip is being offered as IVORY and can easily be found as such online.
Here's the worn example...
...and here's an example showing exactly what the monogram is.
Who knows, maybe one day someone will say it's from Nevada. 😷
