Fabulous Las Vegas $5000 chip (1 Viewer)

[Kyle]

Hello Everyone,

I saw this in a post some time ago and noticed the $5000 FLV chip. Looks legit to me but I have never seen it anywhere else and was wondering if it is indeed part of the set? Or very rare or something? Perhaps a promotional chip never made for the set....:

Thanks,
Kyle

Looks like the River City $1 to me, cool chips, but never seen the FLV $5k before.

Yes they do indeed. I'm thinking the $5000 was a promotional chip that never got released in the full set.

Not the same, different molds. None of the River City chips were made on the THC mold to my knowledge. In addition, I think the River City $1 spot is pink, versus what appears to be offwhite or gray on the FLV $5000.


EDIT:
The more I look at that $5000 chip, the more I am convinced that it is an aftermarket relabeled or inlay-replaced chip, and that the label was not made by Paulson. That chip base/spot color combination does not appear on any other Paulson/GPI home set or promotional chip, and the font used on the '5' does not match the one used for the real FLV 50c, $5, $25, and $500 chips.

Good eye on the font of the 5.
