First off we have to assume that the chips do sell for $15 - $19 before the find. If there’s no current demand for the current supply then we will have issues right off the bat. The other problem I see is that the chips are from Washington State where there are fewer collectors of these chips. Plus you have to take into consideration that most establishments in the Washington State area tend to dump their chips when their done with them.
So if you found fewer than 50, I’m guessing the value would be towards the low end of the guide to around $15 per chip.
If the find is over 100 I think you loose one letter value (so you chip would be worth $10 - $15 range.
If you find over 200 - 300 then I’m guessing that the value is more in the range of 2 or more letter grades ($3 - $7).
Once again condition of the chip is important. If the find is of “new condition” chips then you might get a better value for the chips.
Now because it’s a lower end chip I think these values work. Now it the chip was “rare” to begin with then I think you have a bigger loss in value when you find 200 – 300 chips.
I hope this helps.
