I contacted the museum people, the ones that run the annual poetry gathering in Elko, and asked about this years annual chip. I was informed that there was none planned for this year. So that makes the end of a series very likely.

Five chips, all issued 2,000, not rare or hard to find. (up until now) In fact last year, with some hunting, all years were still in play at the casino. It took a couple of days to find the 1998 and I expect that by Spring, it will be getting harder to find 97 and 98. A couple of boxes of the 1997 were found in the vault and put out on the tables last January.

Both sides of each chip are shown. I only have one complete set, other than my collection, remaining, and some day I'll release it from my grubbing, hoarding little hands and put it up on Jackpot Auctions. ;-)
