Interesting to note that the 5¢ chips were actually stamped twice, once with the casino name, and once with the denom...
Oh, good eye. I wonder what the deal with that situation was. It appears the 10c were single strike stamps, just not the nickels.
“I want to bet, but 10¢ is too rich for my blood—I wish you guys had smaller denominations....”
 
I just got really really excited for this... patience is a virtue, right?

what did you order?

Not in the UK so can’t show any pictures yet but FedEx just took 4 days to deliver a package from Vegas. How good is that? o_O

and then I’ve got other stuff stuck waiting at the UK border for the past 10 days with no sign of movement. Of well the wait is part of the fun :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I bought from a sale ad a few months ago, finally got some shipping notice!

Sorry for the others taking so long :meh:

Cheers, @GenghisKhan! After 4 months of agony, these have finally reached their destination!

And boy did they go through something (thanks 'rona!)... including inspection by the US customs (spoiler alert: they never went to the US other than DHL transit), where they cut into 3 of the boxes just to be sure of... I don't know what.
 
Is it just me or have the Classifieds been relatively dry lately? I have to live vicariously through this thread since I haven’t anything delicious to buy in a while.
Just my own speculation, and I don't at all mean to be classist here, but the wealthier members here with high end chips have no incentive to sell if the buying market is going to be limited. Lots of people are tightening up their spending citing instability with finances due to job loss or other expenses.

Just speaking for myself, I do ok but I'm not a player for high end sets by any means. As soon as my son goes back to daycare, and God forbid, if I have a second child, my budget for play money and spending is going to be going down to pay for day care for two kids. I'm trying to get my sets rounded off ASAP and my CPC orders in because 2021 spending is going to be low based on when and if child # 2 comes.

Also got my estimated property tax bill for 2021, projected 8.5% increase after a 3% increase last year. Thanks COVID :banghead:
 
Todays mail was two packages.....1 chip & 1 rack.


The chip.... Boulder Club $2 Pan (1955). This completes my Las Vegas $2 collection, with exception of a Palms $2 that was on March's NV gaming Commission Chip & Token report.

The rack... Imperial Palace $1 hot-stamps. I had no reason to buy this other than I sometimes feel the need to rescue LV chips & I miss the old IP. It was a dump, but it had character. I walk through the Linq on every trip. It's nice; it's pretty, but do I ever play there? Nope.
