WTF Josh? Were those chips embedded in concrete? Hard to imagine those cleaning up well no matter how much oxyclean, diamond polish or ultrasonicing you subject them to.

Unfortunately, this was not an uncommon practice for how casinos disposed of their old chips. Dump 'em into a new expansion work site.

Some of the Dunes chips were found in concrete. Spinetti might buy them

guess you could painstakingly sit there and pick at the concrete and in a hundred years you may have a chip worth a few bucks....i bought some dig chips from the Desert Inn, sort of cool but i would like a small block packed with chips to use as a paper weight but not at those prices.....maybe i will make my own...throw the Desert Inn chips into a bucket of concrete stirr em up and make a snowball out of it, let it dry...instant paperweight!!!

Seriously. Those asking prices are absurd given the condition of the chips and the work required to return them to some degree of usability.

Hopefully that's the total chip value per denomination and not the asking price

I'd be interested in the one at the top right of the photo depending on price. The chunk of concrete with one chip sticking out of it.

dont think your gonna get enough chips to assemble any type of playable set but the single chip collectors would know better than i if you could salvage 5 or 10 chips that have a decent collectible value then maybe its worth it but then there is that debate about how many chips of that certain type are known......someone unearths a few racks and the value may decline but the condition would still be difficult to compete with non-buried chips prolly.......

there was a story about some Travelodge Las Vegas chips that carried a good value since there was little known available.....but then they dug up some site in Vegas and and found a ton of them and were actually filling 5 gallon buckets full of em.....i will look for the pics...sort of cool, unless you bought some Travelodge chips a month earlier....here you go found the story
