For most gamblers, a casino chip is simply a temporary plastic tool used to facilitate a bet at the blackjack table.

However, there is a massive and highly passionate global community that views these chips as valuable historical artifacts.

Understanding the Value of Rare Chips

The value of a collectible chip is rarely tied to the actual denomination printed on its face.

Chips from casinos that were demolished decades ago are highly sought after because they are no longer in circulation.

• Condition is everything; chips with sharp edges and unblemished inlays are worth significantly more
• 'Cancelled' chips (those drilled or notched by the casino before disposal) are generally less valuable than pristine ones
• Errors in the manufacturing process, such as a misaligned stamp, can drastically increase the rarity and price

Beginning Your Chip Collecting Journey

The easiest way to start is by keeping a single $1 chip from every casino you personally visit on your travels.

Attending a dedicated collector's convention is the best way to physically inspect rare items and learn from veterans.

Whether you view them as investments or just fun souvenirs, casino chips are tangible pieces of gambling history.
