WOW! The Stardust chip came in two different (but the same) versions. On one side of the chip's metal insert there is a date. It is either 1 74, or 4 76, meaning January, 1974 or April, 1976! Otherwise the two are the same. What is of real interest is that that $5 chip can retail for about $100!
The Riviera is also a nice chip, to the tune of $75 retail. Not bad appreciation for a $1 chip from the mid 60's! Also, the only Horesehead molded $1 chip from the Riviera.
As a side note, the horsehead faces right. In chip collecting circles this is know as Horse Head Right, or HHR. HHR's are a fairly common mold, while HHL (left) is unusuall.
Nice chips!
