Gold Frontier 25,000 baccarat for TCR

This showed up recently after the closing of the Frontier in Las Vegas. DennisO had it on consignment and sold it on eBay. I can find no Frontier baccarat chips listed in either reference. This is the first metallic-gold baccarat chip I've added to my collection; strangely, the principal use for metallic-gold chips seems to be for dollar chips and NCV's. Probably some exceptions, but none that I know of.

Chip is oversize (43 mm), metallic gold with 4 lime and 4 light-blue Vee inserts. Paul-son inverted hat and cane mold.

Seller stated only 5 chips survived; if so, this is a rare chip, probably in the Z1-Z5 value range. Sold at auction for $680, probably because the population is uncertain. If a box or two survived, that price may be a little high, but there are few (maybe 2?) real $25,000 chips from Nevada available to collectors.
