The Desert Inn Coin-Inlay Baccarats

I'm nearing completion of this set of older Desert Inn Baccarat chips. Date back about 25 years and interestingly are regular 39 mm size chips. Just got the 100 at the Reno show last week.

There are significant differences in the value of this set between TCR and JamesC's book. James warns that there may be quantities overhanging the market in his latest edition and they do seem to show up too often for 'S' to 'W' value chips. Anyone care to share any inside info on where these are coming from and how many are out there?

In any case, I need the blue $5000 to complete the set. There also appear to be different versions of the $20 and $500 in TCR that I don't have. Any suggestions?
