Aladdin $1s (1 Viewer)

[Tommy]

A co-worker found a few of these in a house they recently bought. Are they worth anything?

 

[Mr. Cheese]

1 Dollar!

Borland Fantasy chip. Probably around $10 but worth checking out.

That's the pic I think of when I see those "I might be selling - interest only" threads.

No, you said $20! (i can prove it)

Are you sure? It looks just like the chip from the 1970s listed in The Chip Guide (TCR #N1335). Paging @David Spragg.

How many is "a few"?

 

[JFCJ]

Depends. How many did you find?

 

[leo822]

David would know for sure. He wrote the article. Great reading.

I hope they are real...would be a nice find!

 

[Tommy]

Just a hand full I think. Thanks

 

[leo822]

$40 if real I think,

Out of all the casinos Borland copied I don't see Aladdin. Plus they were found in a house and not from a collector so I say real! Neat find.

I got some more info. The previous owner was a limo driver in Vegas during the 70's and 80's. Tips maybe.

Don't all the Borland chips have the casino commemorative dates on them? I would think those are real....great find......time to check real estate listings of houses for sale by former Vegas taxi drivers

Plus I've never seen a Borland chip with a shaped inlay.

Real. $10- $80 on eBay right now, depending on whether drilled and condition.

 

[leo822]

Yep..I agree they are real. David has had so many good articles on fakes. Read this one and scroll down to see a cash set favorite that is believed that ALL are fake.

they are only worth a dollar each....i have paypal-ed you $50 with my address so you can send me all that you found and reimburse me if its less than 50 chips....you pay shipping and pp fees...ok thanks for that

It's a real Aladdin chip. The value in the Chip Rack is $50-59, so i'd guess about $15-25 on eBay. Not all Nevada mold chips are Borland Counterfeits. There were quite a few legit chips made on the Nevada mold.
