Identify Chips

[MCcHips]

Hello,
I recently came across some old chips:

2 - Silver Palace Downtown Las Vegas .25
2 - Las Vegas Club  .25.
2 - Horseshoe Club Las Vegas Nev .25.
2 - New Pioneer Club Downtown Las Vegas .25

Looking to get some information on them.

They were glued (you can see residue left on some of the chips) and framed how does this impact the value?  Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi, and welcome to the CCA forums.  There's a good article on how to clean chips here:

https://ccgtcc.com/education/cleaning.aspx

Take a look at that and see if you can avoid devaluation.  I bought a collection of chips that were glued onto felt.  When I removed the chips, I thought the backsides were goners, but I discovered that all I had to do was put them in water to loosen up the glue and with a little effort, they came clean pretty easily.  I don't know if you'll have the same luck.

If you're a CCA member, let me know so I can update the permissions on your account here (there are other categories you'll have access to as a member that non-members can't see or post to).  If you're not a member, details on how to join can be found here:

Hey! Welcome to the club! That's awesome.

Do me a favor and change your profile to make your display name be your real name and your membership number in this format:

"First Last R-####"

Once I confirm it with the membership officer, I'll update your permissions so you can have full access here. 

I hope to see you at our Annual Convention at the South Point in Las Vegas June 18-20.
