Some cool GDC colored tokens not seen before

I found these in an ebay auction the other day. They were framed and were with 4 others that I already had. None of these were ever used in a machine. There are no marks on any of them anywhere where they were struck by the edge of another token.

Another interesting thing about 2 of these is that they are variations of a similar token that was in use.

I think this first one is a sample of some sort. The first side is a variation of the token that was used at Harrah's in Shreveport. Although it is similar in design, it is completely different than the one they used. The other side is for the Harrah's Jazz Casino in New Orleans. I am unaware of any colored tokens ever being used there.

The 2nd token is from Bluffs Run Casino in Council Bluffs, IA. It was a combination dog track and slots only casino. It was taken over by Harrah's some time ago. I had heard that they produced 1 or more colored tokens, but had never seen any. I don't know if this is one that people have seen or not. It is a GREAT looking token. If someone else has this one or any of the others I would like to know.

This token from Players Island in Maryland Heights, MO is very close to what they used in the casino, but there are lots of coloring differences. The general layout and design are the same.

This last one is a manufacturer's sample from GDC. I have not seen one of these before. Have you?
