Good question. Several seasoned collectors have reviewed my want list and they have offered verbal “never gonna find that one”, “Sarles has all of these”, “No one’s ever seen a fiver for this one”, and even a few “there’s a lot of these around. How come you don’t have one yet?” comments. And there’s disagreement among them as to which exist and which don’t. I have placeholders (non $5 denoms) for 42 of the 69, so I need a (i.e. ANY) chip from 28 of the list to get 100% representation. From there, it will be a matter of replacing non-$5 chips with fivers. I understand there might be 2 or 3 rarities heading for auction or estate sales or private offerings in the next few months, so if I’m lucky (well heeled enough), I can at least get those. The hunt continues.
