"POOR CHEMISTRY" or too much bleach in the washing machine? seriously, anyone else ever see a chipco in this condition? i've seen some very, very worn ones but never any like this...

Someone had to destroy that chip attempting to clean it some kind of a solvent. They do not look like this even after extreme casino wear.

Looks like somebody had this chip in the pocket of their swimming suit/shorts when they went swimming in the (chlorine-filled) pool...

Its definitely not casino wear, as a manager would never let that on the tables. I agree with the chlorine theory

If the big boat casino is still in operation and you could cash this in for $25, it would be a good deal.

Man, how broke is that guy? How broke are you when all you can find to sell as you look around your home is a worn out poker chip? How broke are you when you have to sell your only possession for $1.85? Either he's THAT broke or he's the cheapest ass on earth! If you're so cheap you can't throw garbage like that away, then you shouldn't clean your ChipCo's with acid. You shouldn't even buy ChipCo's in the first place! Dumb ass...

Yeah, take him out.. I'll hold him down while you get the brick.

Actually looks like this guy just sells single chips.
The real question is who is the guy who actually bid on it and is paying $1.86 for some broke ass chip.
