aaahhh...
you found it too.
it was encased in lucite, just like the $25,000 orange baccarat chips.
there is actually a $500, a $1000, a $5000, and the $25,000.
they were given to employees upon leaving the company.
my guess is you will not get the chip out of the lucite without completely ruining the chip...
Hope this helps.

Acetone (nail polish remover) will likely dissolve Lucite. So will methylene cholride (used to strip wood furniture). It would probably dissolve the chip too, but you might be able to rig it up to where it might not? Good luck with that.  |

I feel that In the case of chips, even if a chip is uncirculated, if you cannot touch it, it is virtually worthless. It is almost like collecting photos of chips. |

Encasing in lucite is a viable means of a destruction for a casino. At least they didn't crush it.
still sad though.

I work for a Pharmaceutical company. I could use all kinds of chemicals on it. What would it be worth out of the lucite??? |
