Metal Chips (1 Viewer)

[R_oh_double_B]

Well I found this forum after I was looking to find additional chips to a set I inherited, to expand and add to it. I haven't seen anything similar to it before, and unable to find anything online... Hoping that posting in here maybe someone has seen them or know who makes them? They weigh 15grams, and just have an overall unique feel....

Thanks!

Won't they get all scratched up during play?

I know I've seen pictures of those metal eagle chips before, but sadly I can't help much because I don't remember anything about them (I wasn't interested in them at the time). I think I saw them on eBay. I haven't seen them for a while, so they might not come up for listing very often, or maybe they just don't turn up in the search terms I use.

I turned 'em up. They're Heritage Poker Coins, made by Heath & Sons.

Here's a PCF thread about them: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...er-coins-unusual-vintage-metallic-chips.9658/

Here's a couple of archived eBay listings:

• http://pokerchipset.cricket/heritag...etal-eagle-gold-copper-silver-tone-heavy.html
• https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-heritage-poker-coins-chips-401594397
  • "They were produced by Heath and Sons --Springfield Oregon USA in 1982. These coins were quite expensive in their day."

  • "I found them in a couple google sites when I entered Metallic Eagle Poker Chips. Apparently they were advertised in a Playboy Magazine back in 1982.

Good luck with your quest!

That's awesome Eddie! Thank you for sharing that. Now the hunt begins!

They probably will, but the sound and the feel of them is super unique.
