Message:: [QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2012698, member: 23368"]I thought I would post this chip from the mid-70s' from the Fremont Casino in downtown Las Vegas. This is their 6th issue and the only one with a metal center, not an inlay like others use. This particular denomination is very hard to find in this good of condition. It's value is between $30 to $50. Only two chips had the order date stamped on it, on the right side of the metal center (7-75). The other was their $1 chip (7-76) but the metal has a blackish appearance rather than this brass look. All other denominations in this issue were hot stamped and had no metal core. It is a clay chip with the Paulson design of the hat and cane circulating within the inside of the rim. This has the long cane as opposed to the short cane design. It has three white inserts which run completely through and through the chips body. There have been 13 issues of various chips at the Fremont. This particular design was never seen before or afterward, on the casino floor. A unique piece. I purchased it on eBay and was surprised that it didn't draw more attention and more bids.[ATTACH=full]362861[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
