If i'm not mistaking, it is 11th issue, listed in the US Casino chip price guide as R-10, valued $7500 / $12000 / $15000

It says : "picturing 3 small pink flamingos, this chip is unlike any other. Perhaps this was a backup chip used for a short time and then destroyed, or a regular issue chip that was used for such a short time that almost none walked out of the casino. Of the two know exemples, one is cancelled."

Looks like a nice little treasure you found here ! Lovely chip indeed.

where would be the best place to put these chips up for auction/sale? ebay?

Either thechipboard.com or ebay would be your best bet for a collectible like this. I'd start it at 99c and put a reserve price you're comfortable with on it and see what happens.

Cool chip! Ebay would probably get you the best price. Keep in mind that the values of chips have come down and you may not get close to those numbers as the price guide is a little outdated. How many of these do you have? Is there a cool story on how you got it?

JM, no disrespect, but I personally think that it is unethical to hide the true number of chips that have been found. Greg
