it is possible the scan was from the art work. Art work does get out. The casino usually has several copies. It is also possible the chip was notched. I said I have never got one of them. I did not say nobody ever got one.

If it was an actual chip the seller could have the Hard Rock and Nevada Gaming knocking on their door. I am sure someone from one of these two places will read this thread. I know of at least two Nevada GCB agents that are avid chip collectors.
