Value?: 1-9/16"embossed "Good For In Trade" tokens

Question to illegal club (and other local club) copllectors. Are "Good For In Trade" chips like these worth as much as a clay poker or club chip? The picture below is of a chip from the Old Faithful bar in Livingston, Montana. Bar has been closed for many years. The chips come in six denominations.They are a nice size (1-9/16"), rather heavy, thick plastic. They are embossed on both sides. One side says Old Faithful, Livingston, Montana. The other side says Good For 50ยข In Trade.

Chips like these were definitely used for gambling games like poker in the old days (they had other uses as well, like making change and for promotions). If a club was ever raided, these Good For tokens would be less incriminating than standard poker or casino chips.

Anyway, to repeat -- how popular are these with chip collectors?

Thanks,
Robert
