Eddie's Fabulous 50's Fakes

In David's nicely documented paper it says: "All Eddie's $100's and $500's in the design above are known to be counterfeits. The inlay design would have already existed from the genuine lower denominations." Does this mean that Eddie's did not have any $100 or $500 chips or that all that were ever made were destroyed? I remember going into Eddie's - it was a pretty big place and was right on N. Virginia - I have got to think they had $100 chips and may have had $500s as well - not that I would have seen them - those were the good old days when you could still play $2 blackjack - boy do miss that. I think the above quote is a little misleading - I think these chips, like the other Osborne chips, are accurate reproductions of the actual chips used in the casino and not every chip floating around is an Osborne chip - though as the TCR points out, it is impossible to determine which is which.
