Sold Lac Courte Oreilles LCO Final Ceramic $5 set: 300 x $1 , 500 x $5 , 80/20 x $25/$100 (1 Viewer)

I purchased the retired chips from the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) casino in northern Wisconsin (pronounced: lah-coot-oh-ray). These LCO chips are leaded THC-mold Paulsons, with shaped inlays on the $25 (and $100) denominations. The chips were used in this very small casino for 25 years. This set is a fantastic option for someone relatively new to chipping, but who understands the range of available quality options. After these sell, the cupboard will be very bare for any other offerings.

This auction is for one 900 chip set, with the following breakdown:

• n=300 x $1 THC chips (sorted lesser quality chips)
• n=500 x $5 Commemorative ceramics (aka, the $5 chip on the right in the above picture)
• n=80 x $25 THC chips with shaped inlays
• n=20 x $100 THC chips with shaped inlays

Note that the winner of the auction will have the option to purchase both of the sets that are available, but this auction is for one set. Picture of the ceramic $5s with the other denominations.

Ceramic $5 edge spots and condition:

1. STARTING BID: $1
2. Bids must be placed in minimum increments of $1
3. NO RESERVE. NO BIN.
4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.
5. Auction will use my interpretation of the '6 minutes after last closing bid rule'. Highest bid at 4pm Central on Thursday 14Feb2019 will win unless there is a bid within 6 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be 6 min. after the latest bid was posted. I will be headed to the SQM and then Alaska meetups, so prompt payment after the auction on Thursday will result in Friday am shipment. Else, it might take a couple weeks to ship these to you.
6. Edited posts will be voided (except mine).
7. I reserve the right to: i) cancel the auction if no bids have been made; ii) edit the listing to correct errors or clarify rules as needed.
8. PCF (it's Owner, Admins, and Moderators) are in no way responsible for any actions in this auction.
9. Shipping Terms: FOB my post office, actual shipping costs to be added to the final price (i.e., based on buyer's geography). Likely one LFRB for $20 CONUS. International buyers are welcome, and insurance may be available for purchase per standard USPS terms and rates. As others can confirm, I package extremely well.
10. Payment Terms: Cash at a meetup, check, PayPal F+F (or non-FF Paypal with buyer covering fees)

Holy $#|+!!!! That’s an amazing price! Congrats!

I thought about putting in a bid, just for the participation trophy, but if I knew that $400 was in the realm of possibility...

That's what I thought I was doing (participation bidding)...now I'm sour I didn't check back in with this auction.

Helluva score @JWC, i am jealous! Dare I say the 400 THCs alone are worth your price of admission?
