Chucks Golden Spike. Ran into Chuck At a game and he approves. (1 Viewer)

Got lucky and ran into the casino legend Chuck last night at a huge local underground Redding game. It’s not far from Carson City. He loved I had found these chips in this forum. He was very pleased they still held any value. Brag alert: He told me tons of stories about back when Paulson gave hotstamp sets with initials to their repeat clients. Free of course. Oh ya he had one of his “free” chips “In the cage” and actually gave it to me, plus he’s bringing me all the chips he has stashed away at home when he comes back in a few weeks. He mentioned Barney’s! Hash tag blessed. Love these old THCs complete with local history!!! Enjoy!!!

That’s awesome. Score! Chucks big claim to fame he told me was “I’ve opened more casinos then anyone over the many years”. He said he grew up as
a kid in a casino card room full of robbers, cheats, and card tricks. He also said he’s opened several hundred Indian casinos and gotten them registered with the feds over the years. All I kept thinking was get me a chance to order. Lol We texted about that again today. Baby steps.

Not necessarily. Paulson also made LCV chips.

Hey Dave

I know...but those hat surfaces look very shiny to me...

@SpaceMonkey420 could you put it on a scale ?

Why of course. Also have a green rack I need final opinions on.

 

[SpaceMonkey420]

@Thomacetti I’ve always assumed based off my color
Samples alone the green was Christy and Jones.

 

[SpaceMonkey420]

I think he said he has at least a rack of CPL for me. Score.

The green chips are indeed C&J, the white chips are Paulsons LCV (my bad)
Congrats

Hope this isn’t the same Chuck as the other thread

The hot stamp font is also a clue. The C&J THCs that I've handled had a fairly specific tall thin font for their letters.

Oh no what did I miss? This forum is non stop. Love it. Can’t possibly read it all though. Keep up the good work!

C&J is all in the sound and weight
When you shuffle a barrel of leaded LCV and a barrel of C&J you will know the difference in weight and sound immediately
Its easy to remember after that. C&J also very shiny surface the whole chip and more slippy feel on the stuff I have.
