Wanted Excellent+ Cali spotted hotstamp $1s (offering $2,000) also ISO spotted $5s (2 Viewers)

[Saditsfact]

Looking for 2 racks of excellent+ THC spotted hot stamp $1s, offering up to $2,000

From trader:
Has to be a California casino or card room - not just cali colors.
No initials or monograms.
Excellent condition.
No re-stamps.
Probably not a year cutoff. Would prefer them older and leaded but I'll consider newer.
On stack size, I accept a quarter of a chip or so. A half a chip might be too much, but I also understand chips are different from ages, color, etc etc.

also interested in Cali spotted $5s in the same condition to potentially add together for the trade.

Nvm falls under Cali colors but not from Cali

I already asked, since they’re practically the same color but he’s adamant it has to be from California…

Let me see if these will work, do you have any info on these? Is it from a casino? From California?

Pretty sure he doesn’t like monograms though …but let me check

Apparently it’s an unidentified casino. At least according to chipguide

 

[Saditsfact]

I got these

Unfortunately it’s gotta be a real denomination and a known casino.

Thank you though! Those are really nice!

Updated want, larger range of when made, doesn’t need lead but still preferred.

Any harvesters of California $1 stamps out there?

 

[quintooo]

idk where he is, but @PocketAces might have some ideas. You can also get in touch with @louBdub though he's over at danny's site I believe. GLWS man

Since there were different $1 stamps, it’s possible the original $1s were harvested. Is this why you tagged @PocketAces? And @louBdub?

I tagged pocket bc he collects a lot of cali chips and tagged lou bc he collected a lot of blue hotstamp $1's haha. surely between the two of them and someone like Kyle should be able to put you in the right direction

Unfortunately never got to chat with pocket, seen some of his posts in the past, seems like a great collector.

Definitely chatted with Lou and unfortunately he doesn’t have a solution for me either, unless I want to try to collect a hot rod set like he did…

Updated the OP: as much as I wish he’d take the Cali colors in town tavern $1s they are a no go for now… @jpietrella

 

[Saditsfact]

Maybe it’s the 6000+ PMs I’ve exchanged with @JeepologyOffroad, but I’m finding that hotstamps are growing on me. Here is my first attempt at a mixed set. I have enough of all of them in quantity to make a small playable set, but I feel like the $1 needs to also be a Cali hotstamp.
