FIND: El Rancho Rio Khoury's $25

Here is a pic i found in my Ebay file.  96 of the Khoury's El Rancho Rio $25 black chip on the H mold.  These were R10 in C&W. Ebay auction was dated 6-29-13.

Here's a posted comment from David Spragg on these chips on the Chip Board on 6-3-15:

"Here is an example though where your info could mislead without clarification.
I purchased the El Rancho Khoury's chips. What the picture doesn't show you is that there is virtually no hotstamp on the 75 chips still in the box. Also, a couple of the ones shown are in poor condition. 78 of the chips were donated to Nevada Historical Society. One chip was broken in pieces in the original transit. Only 17 chips survive.
Without that info anyone would think all 96 are in 'circulation'. That has a negative impact on chip values which ultimately flows through to all chips. Disclosing finds etc. without caveats can cause damage to the hobby, not the opposite."
