I am trimming my Grove CIC set down to 2000 chips. I'm offering the best playable set I could put together with the remainders. I purchased most of these chips for between $1.75 per chip to $2.00 per chip, with the exception of the fracs, which I paid 50c per chip for. I was happy to pay around 5x their Chip Room prices to acquire them, and am reselling these at a pretty significant loss back to the community. There are 7 blue chips with damaged bezels (the ring that goes around the brass inlay) and about 15 with a small hairline crack in the plastic (14 blue, 1 red). All of these chips play perfectly fine, and were in play on the tables for several years in this same condition without issue. You won't even notice them in stacks. I remember seeing many of these in the count room and on the tables when I used to work there. All chips have the typical patina effect on the brass, and the blue chips show it more than the orange chips as they were in play every day, while the orange chips were only in play on Friday and Saturday night on one table for their 10-20 game. These chips are heavy and stack like bricks. They're really fun to play with.

All these chips can easily be polished to look brand new again. I put a tiny drop of brasso onto a paper towel and lightly rubbed the face of a few coins for only a few seconds and I was absolutely amazed at how they came out. See the before vs after pics below. If you wanted to spend the time to polish these, they would look INCREDIBLE when you're finished.

The fracs are less than impressive and are not negotiable. The few damaged (but fully playable) chips are also non-negotiable. This is a package deal at a discounted price.

In this lot are 500 total chips:
100x - 50c fracs
140x - Blue NCV ($1 chips)
240x - Orange NCV ($5 chips)
20x - Red (9 NCV & 11 '$25's)

Price is $500 shipped to USA
