Please use caution!!!!
As previously discussed here... it is believed that nearly ALL of the Horseshoe chips, since it was first opened, still remain intact! Only now are they starting to find their way into the collectibles market place.
I suggest that you not look at them (nearly any Horseshoe chip) as an investment, but only as an item that would be nice to have one of, and then, don't spend a lot of money on it.
Just think. When Binion was killed, there was a hourd of silver (Morgan Dollars that were once used in the slot machines of the Horseshoe) found as well as a lot of stuff in his Estate. Like Fitzgerald, Binion probably kept all the old Horseshoe chips in storage.
The above is simply conjecture, but I suggest caution.
