Now that's a fractional!
Thought I just saw another one of these a month or 2 ago, where the horizontal color line was perfectly aligned with the hotstamp. It was beautiful! What was funny was how on the other side of the chip the hotstamp was nowhere near aligned.

Yup, i really want that chip every time I see one up for sale, but they
always go higher than I feel like paying lately.

Didn't feel like paying over 1000 times face value?

LOL, yah.

I did pay like 300 for the one Dunes chip I have.
I just dont have much of a Binions collection, so Id
rather not start. Just too many chips to try to gather.
I have WAY too much invested in all my Dunes chips
allready.

Hotstamped dovetail Paulson's are rediculous chips. I've been lucky to get my hands on a few lately, but none of this caliber. I couldn't imagine sitting at a casino table back in the 70's or 80's with a rack of these sitting in front of me
