I need help to identify a case

Hi guys,
I had never seen this case before. Someone could tell me more.
Thank you

I’ve never seen anything like this. Very cool piece. Antique road show worthy?

This would make a great thread: Unique Chip Cases. If one does not already exist.

Pretty sure that’s a franklin mint thing, metal chips with eagles on them.

Nice call, ekricket. A Google search for Franklin Mint aces and eights yielded some results.

Thanks guys

Is it possible to use these case with poker chips or it's only for coin chips?

 

[Odranoel77]

What is its value?

 

[rowlin]

A handful of recent sales appear on eBay, ranging from about $80 to $200 shipped. There are two currently listed for more.

I did not pay any attention to their condition, completeness, etc., in comparison to yours.

@rowlin can I use those case to store my poker chips or it's only for coin chips?

 

[rowlin]

Unless those coins are 39mm in diameter, my best guess would be that it would not work well for standard-sized poker chips. That is only a guess, however, and I do not have any experience with coin collecting to help speculate about the size of the coins shown in the picture.
