LGK Chips - Availability and Pricing (1 Viewer)

[Talrem]

Greetings, Programs!
I'm putting out feelers for a possible (near?) future purchase - LGK solids! I've already purchased a few LGK racks (thanks to @JWC and @chipinla !) but I've decided to purchase more chips that were solids instead of spotted (is that a term?). I'm providing an image of the chips I've found on ChipGuide's website at http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_query.php.
I don't know if any of these chips are available by the rack, nor do I know how much they would cost if available. I chose three chips for each color should one be more available than another. I also provided the site's reference numbers for each chip.

If anyone knows anything about acquiring these chips, or if you have advice for how to track them down, please let me know. Much appreciated in advance!

Cool! I think if you can pull together a set based on this concept it will be amazing. My guess is that finding any of these in quantity will be very challenging, but I don't have enough knowledge to say for sure. Hopefully some folks with more chipping history can give you a better insight.

Good luck!

Good Luck, you will find LGK's (or Supergems) a bit tougher to come across in quantity as they haven't been produced in many years. Only produced by ASM/Burt (distributed by many including BC Wills and others) & some by Hispania but the mold has been out of use for many years.

Occasionally a small hoard is brought to market like the Dragonara's recently by @chipinla. Not many home sets were made but can sometimes be found, just don't think it was a popular mold at the time with home game players. Otherwise retired casino chips are usually the only option and most were small runs for whatever resaon and usually sell on the singles market instead.

The easiest to come across especially for solids would be the Harrah's Roulettes (both Reno & Tahoe). You may have to buy them a few at a time but there seems to be plenty of them especailly on eBay. Others that come up for sale from time to time are Dragonara's (not solid but spotted) a casino in Malta http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=M2STD1&v=2862560155. You can also check with Spinetti's they usually have some used condition Monte Carlo's http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=NVREMC&v=3381826105 (a mix of solids & spotted) available https://spinettisgaming.com/product...eno-nevada-1970s?_pos=26&_sid=a1df43e7f&_ss=r. Also noted i didn't see any in you OP pic, did you check/search for chips in the foreign casino section of the Chip Guide as a lot of foreign casinos used the LGK/Supergem mold.

GL with the search.

When I searched the ChipGuide website I didn’t specify any country, just looked up the mold and it’s colors.

I contacted Spinetti’s and they only have a brownish-orange Monte Carlo chip at $10/chip. Way too expensive - Not gonna drop $1k for a rack!
My search continues!
