Antique chips that Dale has listed with A-B-C-D Values are common chips and they are fairly easy to find NOW as they were in 1998 when Dale published his Revised Edition Antique Gambling Chips. The thing with clay chips in these four value codes, the values are true only if they are found in near mint condition. Antique clay chips that Dale listed as E-F&G were scarce to rare then but the values are much higher now. Most F value engraved chips ($8 to $9 in '98) will bring in two to three times as much now and more if it is in mint condition. Clay chips that were valued G ($10 to $14 in '98) are worth about $40 to $60 now depending on the condition of the chip. There are only a few clay chips that were valued G & H and they will go in the $50+ range in almost any condition. The reason for this is, more people have discovered antique chip collecting resulting in more collectors wanting the same chips. In the case of clay Crest & Seal chips, you can throw the value codes out the window because they are most sought after of the antique clay chips and needed by most collectors. The quest for many advanced antique chip collectors is the "uncoded" previously undiscovered chips and to find one is like finding the Holy Grail. Once you find one of these uncoded chips, the next quest is to get it coded. That has been a hard process for new collectors to do in the past but we are about to change that and make it an easier process to go through. The has allowed us to hold a CODE SESSION at the convention this year for recent discovered uncoded antique chips. It will be Friday evening at 7pm in the back of the Trade Session room. Non Members will need to buy a "Day Pass" and I will post more details as the convention gets closer. Here is a link to some of the chips that will be considered for new codes this year. Not all of these chips will meet the requirements to be coded but all of them will be cosidered. More on this later. http://www.antiquepokerchips.com/UncodedChips.pdf
