Gene; In a more comprehensive article that was published in Coin World's May 24th issue, it would appear that these chips won't be slabbed in holders that we are familiar with. They are much larger rectangular shaped pieces that will encapsulate all four chips (probably not individually graded) and single slot token with "appropriate paper inserts bearing pedigree information".

The article went on to say that; "Gillio plans to exhibit some of the historic gaming equipment, silver dollars and casino chips in Las Vegas during the Las Vegas antiques arms and coin show, May 21 and 22, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. There will also be an exhibit at the Long Beach Convention Center June 3 through June 5. The Reno hoard will be marketed dring the next two years starting with sets consisting of four casino chips and a brass dollar token Gillio said. Each set will be certified by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America, the official certification service of the American Numismatic Association and the Professional Numismatists Guild. The sets will be labeled with the pedigree 'Fitzgerald's Nevada Club Reno Hoard' and encapsulated in specailly designed NGC multi-coin holders. They will be offered for sale to the public by David Hendrickson from SilverTowne in Winchester, Indiana. No retail price has been established nor has the date the sets will be ready for sale.

The set includes blue $1, red $5, $25 green and $100 dark purple chips issued in 1976 for Fitzgerald's Reno gaming establishment that opened that year, and a 1964 brass dollar token issued for the Nevada Club of Reno and Nevada Lodge of Lake Tahoe. The sets will allow collectors of gaming memorabilia to acquire pieces for their collection that they might not be able to obtain elsewhere, he said"
