Jim,

I have the Treasure Island $1 chip in my collection. I have seen exactly two of them since I started to collect. I have business in Rochester, MN, about an hour away from the Treasure Island casino near Red Wing. I would try to visit the casino on each trip out there. The $1 chip was pulled from the tables long before my first visit. I wanted one real bad, but couldn't find one. Finally I got a cancelled chip (holed) off eBay. I thought that I would have to settle for the cancelled chip until I ran across another one that was not cancelled and bought it. It is a very difficult chip too find. And I did sell the cancelled chip quite a while ago.

The only Queen of New Orleans without Hilton chips I have run across were on an eBay dutch auction. If I remember correctly, they went for $50 to $100 each and there about five of them. I was leary of spending that much just when a group appears on the market. You never know how many could be around. But I haven't seen another one since. I wish I would have bought one when I had the chance.
