Wanted Aruba Palm Beach chips (1 Viewer)

[bentax1978]

Potentially looking to expand my Aruba Palm Beach set a little, seeing what's out there.

Looking for the $5 and $25 chips in the picture below in EX+ to near-mint condition to match what I have.

Would also be potentially be interested in either version of the $100 chip, or even trading one version for the other (I currently have some of each version).

It's a hybrid set in that the $1 chips aren't the originals, but it was a real casino, closed sometime in the 80's I believe. There are basically only $5/25/100 chips out there (two versions of each). I've seen a real $1 single once on eBay (it's a very light blue solid), but that's the only one I can recall seeing. I don't think there's a $500 either.

They did come out great! (thanks @Gear)

I'm actually thinking about shifting the blue chips into the $0.25 position and moving the off-white chips I'm currently using as the quarters into the $1 position.

Not 100% sure yet, part of it depends on whether I can get a couple more racks of the off-white NCC $25 chips (I have another WTB ad for those).

The property originally opened in 1968 as the Aruba Sheraton, which was later changed to Grand Hotel/Casino (1980-1981) and Hart Sheraton Casino (1981-1982).

The Aruba Palm Beach Hotel Casino only operated for about a year (Nov 1982 - Dec 1983) before being renamed Palm Casino (1983-1999), then Centurian (2000-2006), and most recently, Cool Casino (Jul 2007-present). Located next door to what was once the Casablanca Casino.

So many beautiful chips from such a small geographical location. There is something amiss.
