I say godt damn, godt damn, godt damn...

Tip for used chips that fit 21 to a barrel; fill the last spot with a plastic lammer (or Lammah as referred to around here).

 

[slisk250]

berg's estimate is spot on. I was able to get almost two racks at $12 a chip last summer. I think my source had some better condition 1s that were not for sale and those would be $2000 a rack after his/her funeral some day (should give you an idea of how easy it is to find them)

 

[Tommy]

No mint $1s exist. Finding very rounded $1s (21 to a barrel in a rack) is very difficult and will cost you $2K per rack at this point.

@Jackstraw found some in Delaware a few months ago. Not mint but were in decent shape. Heck of a score.

 

[liftapint]

Those look to be in really good shape!

 

[Shaggy]

Wow... This thread is inspiring me... Maybe I get a hold of a rack of fives, 40 baccarat $20, and 10 baccarat hundos. I'll use my scandia dollas and jokers wild fracs. I may have to contact Spinettis to see what they have.

They all stood on edge with ease. The story is the seller won a Dunes Blackjack tournament and asked to be paid $200 in $1 chips and the rest in cash. Many years later, he still had the chips.

 

[Jackstraw]

$12-$15 is on target in my recent experience. I have never seen mint $1s in quantity. I did pick up a couple of racks for a bit less on a lucky CL score. ....and Tommy was kind enough to do the face to face transaction with the guy on my behalf and ship them to me. Thank you again, Tommy!!!

 

[MoscowRadio]

Damn. Those T1000s are unbelievable.

Sure, start with a tourney set, they say. A while later, you wake up with your credit cards turned to ashes, unsure of what happened, but surrounded by these and a hazy memory of saying "I'll take em, those too" over and over again.

@bentax1978 - If @thyechal is not interested I would like to take next dibs. (y) :thumbsup:

If Bentax is selling, go for it. I think I will either go with the Scandia or wait it out.

 

[thyechal]

I am downgrading my "want" to "need", and resorting to BEGGING for any loose $1s you guys can spare-a couple of barrels would be nice

 

[ovo]

I've been bidding on single dollars for years, gotten about 60 that way, did I say years.......

If anyone is interested in these, feel free to PM me.

Years is a long time; 199 hot-stamped $1 chips could be in @thyechal 's mailbox by Monday. Just say'in

 

[stocky]

Is spinettis out of $1s?

 

[thyechal]

Spinettis has four; I am ordering them.

 

[AfterTheFact]

Is spinettis out of $1s?

Yes, tried months ago...

Thanks a lot for all the replies. I think I know now how hard it is to find them.

@bergs There are three dealer buttons in your pic. Can you spare one? Don't make me beg.

 

[EasyE]

I envy those sets!
Very cool.
The Paris $1 was a good idea.

 

[acl1904]

Those Dunes sets are just epic - Those high denoms are just gorgeous chips.

I'd be nervous with players possibly splashing pots. Even though they are asked not to, there is always one...

I was trying to get Apache to make these again, because I would like several of them too. I don't know where that stands. Maybe you should contact Josh and inquire--this would show broader interest beyond just me

I know the feeling...getting items/chips to complete a set can be tough nowadays.

 

[softchewy]

You could also consider CDI/James Bond (1995) $1s. They would work well as is or could be relabeled.
So would the sweet Discovery $1s you see in my Avatar pic .. I have 2 racks of those, though mine are not for sale (unless of course you throw some wild number at me
