Sands $5 Las Vegas casino chip sold for $63.65

A Sands $5 Las Vegas casino chip sold for $63.65 on July 2nd of 2012

Note: This chip years ago was very scarce and fetched many hundreds of dollars at one time. Recently chips from several casinos have been unearthed from construction sites around Las Vegas.  Instead of destroying them they were used as fill for concrete foundations.  Some of these, including many from the Sands, were found.  Most were embedded in concrete but it appears some might have been able to be salvaged and cleaned. Hence, the value of these chips has been steadily declining until we find out just how many were uncovered.
