Re: Help Me I.D. These Harrahs Dimes

*************
Saito listed 5 with Reno only and 8 with Reno & LT for a total of 13.
I'll start at the top of your scans & go down.
1. Purple, Reno only, N5136
2. "Reno & Lake Tahoe" Reverse, HS-Gold, N9890
3. This may be a new one. The denom font is different from the others.

If it is HS-Blue and an ampersand bet. Reno & LT, it would be N7083.

If yours is HS-Gold and/or a slash bet. Reno/LT, it's a new one.
4. "Reno & Lake Tahoe", same on both sides, N7082
5. "Reno and LT", HS-Gold? Probably a new one
6. "Reno/LT" N7058

LMK if 2, 3 or 5 may have had a HS-Blue.
I'll check Doug's articles again & make sure we have then right.

Thanks for the ID's, Allan..

Regarding #3, the hotstamp is blue, but the typeface and word-spacing are identical to that on the red chip #6, which has a slash, not an ampersand. I think I can see a slash with a glass, but the chip is pretty worn. I'll try to find one like it at the show next week to confirm.

Regarding #5, it appears to me the hotstamp is black, not blue. Doesn't look the same as the blue hotstamp on the other chips anyway.

I'd say there are two new varieties to catalog. Will let you know if I can confirm them.
