FIND: San Souci Card Room Chips 25c 50c $1

This was an old one I guess i should list.  As found and reported by Doug Smith on 1-8-14 on the chip board, the was a find of the Sans Souci Card Room chips $1- 98, 50c - 97, 25c 100.  The 50c and $1 chips were previously R10 in C&W.  I actually bought a set from Doug.  They were very nice!  I love the C&J mold and the hotstamp.

Here is the post:

POSSIBLE FIND: Dopey Norman's $1

Possible find for Dopey Norman $1 arodie chip from Lake Tahoe.   There was a post on the Chipboard related to this chip and the poster was asking about the value originally claiming he had a quantity of 50, but then it changed it to only 1!   You will need to be your own judge about this.  The $1 arodie was not listed in C&W.  Here is the link to the post on the chipboard from 12-30-14:

FIND: Golden Bank Reno $5

Golden Bank $5 Reno.  Total quantity 180. I do not know the condition of the chips in the box, though i do see most chips have decent edges.  However the condition of the hot stamps are unknown.   I think this chip was a R-9 c&W.  Not sure if i got this pic from ebay or somewhere else. The date saved of the pic was 8-4-14.  I'll need to check my notes at home.

Update

Sorry, I haven't been keeping this blog up to date.  In fact there are quite a lot of i have saved, but have not had the chance to post. I will adding more in the few weeks and will try to expand on some them later. Please feel free to post or e-mail me if you have anything to add or want me to look into any possible finds.

FIND: El Cortez $5 Las Vegas

There was a find of a box of El Cortez $5 small crown chips with the green insert.  I don't recall where this picture came from, but looks like there are many that have burn marks.

The first post I saw on this find was on the chipboard in 2013.
