I would guess at least 2 and maybe all three were table chips and not drop chips. Drop chips are not used on the tables and only used for the rake to reduce the number of chips in the drop. Most of what people are commonly calling drop chips are not drop chips. Real drop chips often sell for a premium because they are typically tough to get. $2, $3 and $4 table chips do not typically have any added value beyond a typical mark up, as far as I have seen, because they are usually easy to get.
