Why would you want to avoid the seller of chips that were formerly valued so highly that few could afford them? The ones I've seen have been reasonably priced. These are NOT common chips now.

The new TCR lists them at I, N, and S for the $5, $25, and $100 chips. This is way down from last year's values in TCR and is about right in my opinion. I paid $600 for a set at a chip show a year or so ago which was probably a little high but the find had just been made.

I don't have any of these chips to trade, but there's a pic of the $5 chip below for those who might not have seen it. Some consider this a US Bicentennial chip, or at least a 'patriotic' chip. It has a 1976 date on the inlay.
