Casino Marbella Chips. Who is the manufacturer and what would be its value? (1 Viewer)

[caperalta]

I found these chips at a secondhand market.

The seller doesn't know the year or the manufacturer.

They appear used, have notches, and the denominations aren't in very good condition.

Would anyone be able to appraise them and tell me what a reasonable price would be to pay for them? I don't know if they have any value or not. I hadn't seen these tokens before in Spain; they must be at least 20 or 30 years old.

Marbella is known for hosting the world's elite, where the super-rich flock to vacation, one of the most exclusive cities in Spain.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, not only for the price but also to learn about chips. I don't know where I can look for information on my own.

They are CPC or ASM scroll mold chips. If there are only 4 of them my guess is that are worth about $1-2 each unless this is some really desirable chip, but I don’t think it is.
A full playable set would have some more value. Just my opinion.

Good bet they were made be Hispania Gaming (out of business now). CPC now has the scroll mold and produces them.

Value: YMMV, depending on amounts and condition, could be anywhere from $1-$2/chip, I'm never a good guide for value, they are worth what some will pay....

I bought 20 of them (all she had) for 12€ (13.5$ aprox). Probably not a great deal but I think its ok. Thank you very much for your help!

A few more chips that were "in the wild" now find their way into the hands of a chipper. That's always a good thing.
Congrats on the find!
