[davin]

I'm not to sure about this, I'll have to check one second I'll get back to you I'll ask Gears aka chris as he has them in hand and can tell me

Bright bright bright lol

He's not wrong..... fantastic fives

 

[Gear]

base = Royal Red

spots = Lime Green, Sea Green, Orchid

Purple shades on Paulson chips are often a crap shoot, and this one is no exception. I did not find a perfect match but Orchid was the closest.

Will there be hundos?

The MOGH says yes.

Interesting. Says these chips were issued in 1998 originally. Pretty amazing if these chips sat in their boxes untouched for over 20 years.

While the $100 and $500 are both pictured... it should be noted that they are both NOTCHED.
This would lead me to believe that they were samples made, but perhaps never manufactured in quantity for that location.
Could be wrong, but this is usually the case in these instances.

The $1, $2.50, $5 and $25 are also notched on MOGH. Even the Chipcos are notched.

I'm guessing @davin got lucky to get ahold of some chips that "fell off the back of a truck." His chips are mint, I can attest. It looks like this ship never sailed and therefore, the chips never got used.

History from the MOGH:

Ship details: 4 level vessel, 3 levels casino, 87 meters length, Panamian Flag. From guest book source: Ship name: Lucky 7, sailed in the Bahamas.
In 1998 refitted for casino to sail from Cancun, Mexico but could not obtain license and moved to Eilat.
Update 2002: Ship scheduled to sail in Eilat, but did not occur.
Update 2004: The Company created a website on the internet, no details about future operations. Looks like it was to be operated by Casinos Austria Management Co.
Update 2013: The ship was up for sale as recently as last week--they were taking written offers up to January 31, 2013. A Tel Aviv law firm is handling the sale.

If no $100s or $500s exist, there are some close relabel candidates that come to mind:

But back to the thread -- per post #16 above, $225 a rack few left. Not sure if they're still left or not - get em before they're gone.
