I have one and I agree. One of my favorite chips. Such a great retro inlay design. Unfortunately mine has been glued to a display or something at some point. Backside and rolling edge is not in the best shape.THIS IS NOT MY CHIP

Yours, or property of the Spinetti vaults?This thread's been lacking TRKs...
Those $20’s in the last pic are unreal.
These are all part of my personal collectionYours, or property of the Spinetti vaults?
You misspelled "retirement plan".These are all part of my personal collection
Yes! I want them all!!!
Today was a great day finally I received a box with the missing part to make my TRK mixed set playable
A few month ago I was able to buy almost two racks of Nevada Lodge $1 with edges in very decent condition, but the blue has been faded out over the decades. Thanks to @Lil Tuna for your hint about the option of edge reconditioning - I really appreciat! So I am extremely happy with my decision to let Dan do his famous chip spa and reconditioning treatment - and oh boy these came out great! The faded blue on the edges is back and the loss in diameter is extremely low (way below 0,05 inch, or for all the metric system lovers: probably around 0,5 mm).
And big thx to @Okku and @liftapint for your suggestions about TRKs in general and especially about the PO $5 as a good choice beside the Fitz $25 … it’s really a gorgeous combo.
I can’t wait to felt them, but unfortunately this won’t be before february
