Hi everyone,
I own this Fitzgeralds Las Vegas $100 chip from years ago and I'm trying to identify the exact ChipGuide listing and estimate current collector value. Appreciate any and all feedback!
Information:
• Fitzgeralds Las Vegas (Fremont Street)
• $100 denomination
• Original chip (not a reproduction)
• Casino no longer operates under Fitzgeralds name
• Photos of front, back and edge attached
Could anyone identify:
• ChipGuide catalog number
• Approximate year issued
• Manufacturer
• Relative rarity
• Recent market value or comparable sales
The chip has not been cleaned at all fwiw
Thank you!
Gene
Here's how to use the ChipGuide -- this search is easy and available to all, not just CCA members. FYI, it's part of ChipGuide's objective to support their non-profit educational mission.
Go to chipguide.themogh.org -- you'll see a USA map. Click on Nevada, and search in the "F"'s, then scroll down to Fitzgerald's (Las Vegas). Scroll down until you see your $100 chip -- I've made a screenshot of it below.
Answering your questions the "CG" number is CG059457, with an issue date of 1992. It was made by Paulson in a Hat & Cane (H&C) mold. I don't know about rarity or value as I'm not a big-denomination chip collector. I will say that the gouge or chip on one side, at the 2 o'clock position and general wear will affect value. Doubtful it is worth face value at this point, IMO, though I'm not an expert.
