Hope it's ok to post some "other" president memorabilia here. I cut my teeth at casino poker on the Admiral and so many great memories. I have a ton of stuff and will sprinkle the thread every now and again.

Circa probably about 2003ish, they had a single display case about 4' wide as you left the casino selling souvenirs. Picked up these dice there one night (morning ? Lol). On the way out:

Great post, never seen these (can't wait to see the rest)

@TheChipRoom you forgot the dice ?! (or truck was full :D)

PCA are confirmed OG...so many great things these brought to the community (without even a bit of nasty flavour).

The $5 - $25 & $100 were all finalist & winners (top 3) in the recent (and active) polls from @FDLmold and the $500 is still in the running for a 4th score.
Without doubt this was THE motherload score ever

These are so cool. Glad you kept a few!
 
On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it for me to get a PCA secondary set now? :wow:

Looking at:
200 $1s
200 $5s
200 $25s
100 $100s
$500s and $1000s are nice to have but optional

Ones arent so hard to find, 5s are the challenge and expensive, generally pushing face value. The 25s and hundos pop up once in awhile but usually with a set, hundos average about $9 per chip. $1k chips dont exist from the riverboat, there are plaque options and relabels

chip based (1 easy 10 made from unobtanium)
$1 ->3
$5 ->6
$25 ->5
$100 ->7
$500 ->7

Finding a turn key set ->6

Based on the fact there is no sticker shock
 
Shaped inlays are (almost) always leaded (imho)
I love PCAs too man! So very much. I tried to start building a set when I first got started, but the immense cost scared me off and I never got back in. I only had a couple racks of Sec $1s, but they were bricks. I recall them being 10.5g+. I just assumed they were Infact leaded along with the rest in the lineup..

Dream set for sure. Maybe someday...
 
Indeed...those $1 chips are leaded and textured...primary too
Not many RHC leaded & textured chips out there (PCA & Sheraton roulettes are the only ones I've seen in many years).

All my mint Sheraton roulettes are 11g/chip...big difference with some current THC chips (8g) and why I love these (not being a big RHC lover)
