Holy crap an inlaid quarter pie 25c? Has Jim done business in Mississippi in the past? I'd feel the odds were better if it was in Washington or Indiana.

Unless this information is wrong I'm guessing not, here's what I found regarding Mississippi casinos:


source: http://www.mississippicasinos.com/faq.htm

Can I use casino chips from one casino in Mississippi in another Mississippi casino? Yes you can. The chips can be played without exchanging them, however the dealers will substitute those chips with those from their casino when played. You should ask your dealer, or the cashier about the chips if you have any questions. It is normal for the dealers and cashiers to examine carefully the chips from other casinos. The best practice though is to cash out your chips at the casino where you got them

With that being the case I can't imagine that they won't destroy the chips. Can anyone else chime in otherwise on this?

Dibs on the quarters!

Somebody needs to take a road trip to Mississippi the day they close and just buy all the quarters at face value...

Those quarters are great. The rest are meh...

ya the .25s are the bomb. A good bomb though, not the blow up and hurt people kind of bomb

How tilting would it be to have a set of RHC fracs, $1s and $5, but house mold quarters and hundos? Not sure I could go for it.

Screw the $25s and $100s. Just get a boatload of $5s.

Too bad we didn't find these fracs many years ago. I wonder how many would have been harvested in new/mint condition. If they were used for poker they would have been super easy to get too. Chips are 15 years old.

Looks like they did that to the $25s and $100s at all their casinos.

A couple of open MS casinos have inlay fracs.... paging our MS members.

Speaking of inlaid fracs...im headed to detroit again tomorrow. On a mission for MoAr quarts at the MGM and MotorCity. WML.

Jim has stated before that Mississippi is an absolute no-go. Too bad - a number of casinos have been closing there recently.

Good luck!! If someone were to harvest two racks of near mint 1s, 1 rack of 5s, I'd pay for them for sure...got the quarters...

Which casino? You collect motor city, right? Either way singles are easy. I'll just the ask girl in the cage to put together a decent rack over an hour. They usually don't mind....usually. I'll see. If I can grab a rack of one's I will.

Yes, unfortunately this is true. Infuriating, the lack of common sense (and dollar sense) that some government officials have displayed regarding bankruptcy assets.....
