Hello to u all! I have been searching the internet trying to find information about some chips I recently found. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a whole lot. I did however come across this forum and hope that you guys might be willing to tell me a bit about them. I would be grateful for any info u could share with me.

Thank u
Jill

Great chips. If they were not drilled, each would be worth $1,000+. The two chips at the top are common in drilled condition, worth maybe $25 each. The $5 chips on the bottom are not common and are worth around $250 each.

Why do only some of the older chips have holes drilled and some do not?

Drilling chips is one way they canceled chips. Others that are not drilled were never canceled

Sometimes they drill old chips (no longer in use) and make them into key chains that they sell in the gift shop.
