An updated family photo to celebrate the end of 2021 and to bring in the New Year.

The biggest joy for me in building this Tropicana set was doing some research and tracing the set’s foundation of 800 chips roots back to the original owner, @liftapint, who had it in 2016. Enjoyed chatting about it via PM.

Also, can’t thank @TheB00T and @RainmanTrail enough for helping me out in my quest to add to the set.

This is definitely one of my keeper sets.

Very Nice. This was the first Nevada set that I put together that started me down the road of collecting primarily Nevada chips. I need to get a more recent family shot of my set since the fracs and more $1's were added

I almost pulled the trigger on those fracs but I really do love my fracs that match my set

Tropicana Fracs

@ski_ex5 - tropicana $.25 hotstamps as seen two posts above (and Bnads86 sale) - I believe they are Paulson diamond mold (canary yellow)

Thanks!

Added some leaded Paulson diamond mold hotstamp fracs.
Always liked these. I believe the Tropicana in Vegas had some similar diamond mold hotstamps in circulation at the same time (issued 1968) as the V2 set (issued in 1972)
