I admit it. I’m hooked.

After getting the Omnia lots a little while ago, I’ve felt the need to go after old Colorado casino chips. I’ve looked on eBay, and all I can see are single chips for sale at wildly different prices. If I go that route, it’ll take a forever amount of money, so I call upon the good citizens of PCF to aid me in my quest.

Any denomination, any casino (minus the ones currently in operation. I figure I can get those whenever I want), any condition. If you have a rack, a barrel, or just a single chip, PM me and let’s talk.

I can’t go crazy with cash right now because my house was, very recently, literally falling apart. I’m hoping to make contacts on here for when I’m more flush and can go big. If you have single chips and aren’t asking an arm and a leg for them, I can probably swing them now.

Here’s a list of what I have so far:

Womack’s
Palace
Colorado Central Station
Midnight Rose
Annie Oakley’s
Otto’s
Bonanza
Black Hawk Station
The Gold Mine
Aspen
 
For sure, I should update the list!

I have:

Annie Oakley’s
Aspen Mine
Billy’s Casino
Black Hawk Station
The Brass Ass
Century Casino

Colorado Grande

I’ll browse through my singles to see if I can find anything of interest. It’s a small collection, but I’ll let ya know if I find anything
 
Just grabbed a pretty big score today. One Lady Luck $1, two Teller House .50’s, a friggen barrel of Golden Gates $1’s, and something I never would have expected nor was even looking for: a Department of Corrections, Colo. State Pen. gambling token!

That’sa nice looking chip, and I don’t have a Paulson Bullwhacker’s yet, but I might have to let it go.

I’m looking at selling some of my excess singles to help offset a second kitchen flooding that happened on Christmas Eve. Money was tight before, but now we’ve been downright devastated. I’ll have to put off buying any new chips for a while. ☹️

Don't forget about the Jubilee in Cripple Creek! That was my favorite casino as a kid. There was an arcade and a balcony around the entire 2nd level so you could see the whole casino floor. We could play in the arcade, and watch my dad play blackjack.

I like the Jubilee chip a lot! The colors in the "inlay" are vibrant, and the design is just fun.

Update: I’m very close to completing this project! If anyone has a spare Golden Eagle $5 they’d be willing to part ways with, I’d be very interested in taking it off your hands. This is literally the last chip that I need to complete the entire set, so if you have a spare GE, I’m basically asking you to name your price. What’s it going to take to make my chipping dreams come true?!
