My Hall of Fame Casino Chips
These chips are my favorites. They
are in no particular order. My choices are based on value and personal appeal.
More chips will be added as my collection grows, so check back often.
 |
Golden Nugget $25
"Rooming House" Las Vegas-Pic-I
acquired this very rare chip from Casino
Rarities. It is the jewel of my Golden
Nugget collection. From the classic "G-N" mold, to the awesome
inlay...a tremendous chip. |
|
Christmas Tree $1 Reno-Pic-Another
Casino Rarities acquisition, this chip has it all: Almost perfect condition,
desirable small-key mold, and a striking inlay. This one ranks as my favorite
Reno chip. |
|
Cal-Neva Lodge $100 Lake
Tahoe-Pic-Most of these are drilled, but I got
this one from Chips off the Old Block in pristine condition. Sporting a
"T" mold and an unusual blue hot stamp, this chip leads a group of
Tahoe chips making the H.o.F. |
| Stardust $5 & $25
Lake Tahoe-Pic-Known more for the Las Vegas
Strip, here are the two chips from the Tahoe location. With arodie molds
and the familiar Stardust inlay, these chips are rarely seen for sale. Thanks to
Chips off the Old Block and Casino
Rarities for providing these chips to me.
Perhaps the Illegal Northern Kentucky Stardust will make it here soon as well. |
Featured Casinos
This section highlights the casinos
that I have focused my collecting efforts. These pages will replace some of the
Hall of Fame pics and Gallery pics. I decided to present them in an easier to
view table format with larger scans. One word of caution for dial-up users, some
of these pages contain several scans and will take a while to load, please be
patient!
The featured casinos are:
| Golden Nugget, Las
Vegas-My favorite casino to
collect...period!
Low
Denominations
High Denominations
|
| Cal Neva Lodge,
Lake Tahoe-Tahoe is awesome, and so
are these chips! Many great hot-stamps with "T" molds.
All
Denominations
|
| Sierra Tahoe,
Incline Village-These are some
wonderful chips. A recent find of the yellow $5, sage $25, and black $100
enabled me to acquire a complete set. The red $1 and lavender $5 were
obtained through James Campiglia.
All Denominations
|
| Tahoe Village,
Lake Tahoe-More of these fantastic
chips have surfaced recently. The different die-cut metal inlays on smooth molds are striking to see. A couple of
the navy roulettes were won on eBay, while Roger Craner and James Campiglia helped me get the others. I'm looking for more!
All
Denominations and Roulettes |
I may add more casinos as my
collecting interest varies. Certainly...the Golden Nugget and Cal Neva Lodge
will continue to grow. If I get the opportunity to obtain chips from other
casinos that I feel deserve to be highlighted...then they'll be posted. Perhaps
the Christmas Tree, Reno? Or the illegal Kentucky Club in Covington? Time will
tell...OK, it's also governed by my wallet...be sure to check back every now and
then! You just never know what will show up.

The following pictures are of chips
from specific casinos and collections of chips based on a particular theme.
I'm eagerly waiting for the 2003 releases. As soon as I begin to obtain
them, they will be posted.
Trader Section
I have a few chips available for
trade. I may also be persuaded to trade for others in my collection, but the
offer needs to be good! Take a peek and see if there is something you need. I'm
looking to trade for Kentucky illegals, but I'll consider any offer. More
traders arriving soon, so check back.

My Want List
This list will change often as my
collecting interest also changes. For now, the list is small but actually covers
a lot of ground.
|
Golden Nugget-Las Vegas-My
favorite casino to collect. Anything not already on my list will perk my ears.
One in particular that I'm looking for is the $5
7th issue ( from the Official US Casino Chip Price Guide). |
|
Cal-Neva Lodge-Lake Tahoe-Again,
I'll look at anything not already on my list, but I really like the earlier
issues. |
|
Tahoe Village-Lake Tahoe-Roulettes
in the following colors: Brown, yellow, navy, red, and pink in smooth mold. |
|
Illegals from Kentucky-Some of
these clubs were nicer than their legal Las Vegas counterparts. I prefer the
Newport, Covington area but chips from any illegal Kentucky club are desired.
I'm more likely to trade for these. |
|
Illegals from Indiana-I plan
on expanding my gaming area section to include Southern Indiana. There were many
illegal clubs in Jeffersonville and I would like to begin a collection of them
for reference. |
