Shown here are 10 chips and one token, as follows:
Top Row: 3 Bud Jones sample?key chain chips that I don't already have! (Sorry, no traders.)
2nd Row: A Paul-Son made 500 centavos (I believe) from the Las Olas casino in Lemon, Costa Rica. A pristine, and I do mean "pristine" $20 Airport Club, Seal Beach, California, TR King made Large Crown beauty! A rather worn, but heretofore, not in my collection, HCE molded, Sahara Tahoe, $5 chip!!
3rd Row: A $4 Venetian Poker room chip given to me by my brother. (He thought it was a difficulty 9 acquisition! ). Next, a Normandie Club, quarter from a time many, many years ago that I occassionally visited the poker room there. As it turns out, I did not even know I had this chip! It was amoung some items that I had left at my parents house when I left for the Army some 38 (or so) years ago. My mother keep the few items and while helping her move to Alameda, CA (one of my weekend tasks) we came across the few items. So, I guess I actually started collecting a long time ago, but had a 30 year break! The 3rd chip is a Chipco promotional from 1999.
4th Row: An advertisng/sample/business card token from Roger Williams Mint (RWM). The reverse does not have a sticker and bears the Las Vegas and Atlantic City sales representative names and numbers. And of course, the one-per-customer Mirage, $3 drop chip. (Glad I got mine!)
Thanks for looking!
Jim
