I want to start collecting $1 Vegas chips. I was digging around on the net. I found this pic over at the blue wall. Anyone know what chip this is?

Nice work. It never ceases to amaze me how pretty much any chip can be identified by the PCF mob on the fewest of details.

I'm thinking of a particular chip... it's circular and is made of clay... which one am I thinking of??

This one. Official weight, too.

Bonus -- cannot be destroyed in rock tumbler.

Yeah, i had instant recognition from just the first small image posted. But there aren't many 818-spotted chips that aren't emblazoned into my brain.....

Are there any $1 chips like this today that I could harvest (on the THC mold)?

 

[BGinGA]

Not cheaply.

Long Branch, Cripple Creek

Treasue Island Casino, Prarie Island

Players Hotel & Casino, Reno

Availability? Very rare...

Nice chips. Any others? I'm guessing a blue 25c chip with different edge spots, and a white $1.
