The big Caesars (1 Viewer)

[jb193]

Someone has asked about the large Caesars Palace $100 chip awhile back. I had about 3 at one time, but never found out where they came from. My best one was the centerpiece of my collection.

What's the story behind this?

I have some of those but it’s a drink coaster. That one you have seems huuuge.

I thought someone mentioned that these were once used as wall decoration. Probably would be out of place now because they wouldn't be noticed based on how modern casino spaces are designed.

I had a bunch of those drink coaster sets for giveaways back in 2014.
SFRB was just $5.25 back then (or maybe $5.80). lol

@jb193 actually I'd like to see closer shots of the surrounding chips

I’d love to use this in a game.. “I re-raise...”

Huge Caesars B&G plaque. A 39mm chip will fit in the center circle.

I remember a post on the Chip Board.. i think it was used as a display item or prop for special events.

Makes sense to me.

Unfortunately, I sold my chip collection, ace of spade collection and a good part of my police badge collection around end of 2014 and bought (and paid cash) for a 2015 Corvette! I miss the stuff, but I love the corvette.

What's the story behind this?

I started collecting chips and realized there were so many I'd better concentrate on one aspect. That turned out to be $100 denominations and higher. That huge one is a foot in diameter and inch or more thick, is made of compressed chalk, or something like that. It's heavy, but it chips easily. (no pun intended)

If you look closely, directly under the blue A on the large chip is the actual $100 Caesars chip.

you had some serious singles there, wow

Here's a little bit of the story behind the drink coaster chips. Many, many years ago I saw them advertised on eBay. Trouble was it was for 3,000 of 'em. I contacted the seller, but it was all or nothing. So I forwarded the auction url to the Great Big Stuff web site. Sure enough, 2 or 3 months later they were for sale there. At the time I think they were being sold @ 3 for $17.. something like that. So I bought a handful.

Anyone tried using a 3d printer to make these? Is it even possible?
