Wanted RVCL (Royal Venture Cruise Line) $1s, $5s or a set (3 Viewers)

[softchewy]

Yeah, it's a looooong shot, but figured I'd try. Looking for these.. any quantity.
cash or trade

Even if you aren't selling, let me know if you have ever seen them in person or for sale.

The only known $1 and $5 chips in existence (in quantity) belong to a woman in Tennessee who uses them for her charity cash games. She sold all of the RVCL gaming tables, equipment, and other denominations ($25, $100, $500) -- several pallets of stuff -- to a traveling casino rental operation many years ago. I later purchased the chips from him, but was unable to obtain her contact information.

Whoa! Those $5s are insane! Shaped faux shaped inlays with awesome edge spots!

Looks like faux shaped inlay, inside of a real shaped inlay. That is insane!

 

[BGinGA]

Yeah, they sorta look like those gold star stickers we got on papers in grade school.

I'll try to take and post some pics this afternoon. The chipguide doesn't have very many chips listed. There are three versions of the $25 (primary, secondary, and hot-stamped), two versions of the $100 (primary and secondary), and one version (that I know of) of the $500. I've never seen one of the hot-stamped 50c chips.

I tried like hell to get the $1 and $5 chips - I was willing to pay cash AND provide replacement casino chips for her game.

Thanks Dave.. I know we had a conversation about this and I was fearing yours would be the only reply with info ..

My $25s are missing their family.. I mean they play well with others (hence the gold star.. well technically a white star on a gold background) but they would love a reunion

I believe the technical term is real faux shaped inlay...

Thanks.. already saw the $5 and bid on it (sorry @BGinGA, looks like that one is coming to NY )... that sliver of hope is what prompted the thread bump (y) :thumbsup:

I'd be glad to resell it to you for $25. (y) :thumbsup:

My bid is already well above that

 

[BGinGA]

I'll try to take and post some pics

As promised (a tad late, and not the best shot... complete with Starlite Cruises photo bomb. Also missing 3 racks of $25 chips, can't find them anywhere.....):

Nice, thanks for posting the pic!
All 3 racks of $25s are safe and sound and still in unused mint condition (y) :thumbsup:
Cant say I really like the $500s, but those "Italian" $100s are cool.
Do you know which $25s and $100s are primary/backup? The hundos are LCV?

 

[BGinGA]

Actually, I had seven of those racks, and sold you three. I should have four remaining, but can only find one. I did have six racks listed for sale at one time, so it's possible that I sold the other three..... but I don't remember it if so. Hard to believe that I wouldn't retain at least two racks to go with the 200 x $100 and 200 x $500 chips.

I can only assume that the larger quantities were primary chips, but no way to know or tell for sure. Both $25 chips are SCV, but both $100 chips and the $500s are LCV.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can stop looking for them... you sold them before I got the other 3 racks from you
