Hiyas.
I originally was directed to these forums by the TwoPlustwo guys who said this would be a great place to learn how to clean a home-game set of chips I picked up around seven years ago. At the time I couldn't find any decent clay poker chips for sale in the UK so I bought a load from a site on the internet, had them sent to my cousin in New York and picked them up next time I went to visit her as the shipping costs to the UK were horrendous. (Funny thing was she forgot I told her to expect them so she got very confused when seventy odd thousand dollars worth of seemingly legitimate casino chips turned up at her doorway one day).
Now, looking through these forums, it appears the grubby set of chips I bought ages ago may actually be collectable after all. So I was wondering am I getting my hopes up or are these chips not as valuable as I thought? I would still want to keep them for my home games regardless as they're rather attractive, but I may need to insure them, it seems.
So if anyone could help my set is as follows...
1$ x 125
2$ x 50
3$ x 50
5$ x 100
20$ x 40
25$ x 75
100$ x 50 - grey and biege
500$ x 5 - red and green (serials 0010 (!) , 0561, 0665, 0879, 1988 ) (sorry about the smiley, system didn't like the 8 and the ) next to each other)
1000$ x 5 - navy with green/gold (serials 0549, 0550, 0560, 1442, 1443)
Any guesses gratefully received.
PS And no, I am definitely not selling or trading any of them. But thanks for asking
