What is the best way to source a 1$ classics set? (4 Viewers)

[thrillingchips]

I'm new here and I'm trying to navigate my way through in acquiring a few Vegas classics.
My goal is to create 20 gift boxes with 3 classic original Vegas chips for handing to selected customers in the European iGaming industry.

From my limited knowledge, I'm thinking of going with these ones:

- The Sands: $1 White (House Mold or Hat & Cane Mold) [20 chips]
- The Stardust: $1 Blue or $5 Red (Retro Star Font Inlay) [20 chips]
- The Mirage: $1 White (Palm Tree Logo) [20 chips]

And then wrapping them up in a nice leather box with a small plaque explaining the chips origins.

Do you think this is feasible? Can i source these kind of chips for a reasonable price in the forum? or should i look for a store/reseller?

"reasonable" - what is that? You will spend FAR more on the custom leather box and presentation that the chips cost.

Maybe eBay in single lots. Maybe Spinetti's. You will be able to find these chips, it is only a question of time and money.

You aren't looking for racks, just a barrel of each chip. Easy enough in most cases. Now if you were talking 1950's Vegas chips that might be a problem at any price.

It is a fine gift for customers in the business. Good luck pulling it together. Please post pictures when you get this done. -=- DrStrange

Once you can, put up a wanted ad. Should not be too hard to get those.

I have maybe 50 used treasure islands, mirage and bellagio single $1s but they are in casino used condition

Yeah, i was thinking about getting the actual casino-used ones as an actual piece of memorabilia. From what i've looked online they are harder to get...
Maybe that's not the case in this forum
