Something new for TCR.

I won a poker hand the other night that had a couple of $5 chips mixed in with the usual $1 chips.

Always on the look out for better conditioned Orleans $5 chips (which were only issued in 1996 and 1999) I was pleased to see one with sharp edges. I simply kept it meaning to put it with my traders. But after I got home (and upon closer examination) I could see that they have re-issued the $5 house chip with a 2005 date.

I am now in shock. I won't be back in Vegas for a couple of weeks and the place I spend more time at has new chips!!

Anyway, this is my only one (for a while), so sorry, no traders.

Thanks for looking.

Jim
