Offered exclusively by Bloc Galleries is the single most important plaque set in casino-chip collecting: the five-piece Sahara Hotel & Casino Plaque Set, all numbered 0001. Formerly displayed in the Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum and once retained by the Sahara’s parent company, this set comprises the following denominations:

$20 — Serial0001
$50 — Serial0001
$100 — Serial0001
$500 — Serial0001
$1,000 — Serial0001

Why This Set Stands Alone

Only matching serial-numbered Sahara plaque set ever confirmed.
Historic provenance — the corporate set held by Sahara owner Del Webb.
Documented in the 2002 Plaque Registry established by Jim Follis (VP, Casino Collectibles Club); no other matching set has surfaced in 20+ years.
Plaques are coveted within the hobby; Las Vegas issues routinely command five- and six-figure prices.
Serial #0001 status is irreplaceable; there will never be another first-numbered set.
Conservative valuation from museum founder Steven Cutler: $100,000.

Included With Your Purchase

Original typed & signed provenance letter from museum founder Steven Cutler (copy provided; original available to the buyer).
Professional packaging & fully insured, trackable shipping worldwide.
Bloc Galleries money-back guarantee and 30-day no-questions-asked return policy.

Investment & Display Potential

Matching-number casino plaques rarely survive in private hands, and sets with serial #0001 are virtually unheard of. For museum-level collectors, investors in gaming ephemera, or high-end interior display, this ensemble occupies the top echelon of scarcity, condition, and provenance.

Secure this once-in-a-lifetime set today — when it is gone, another will not exist!

Offered exclusively by Bloc Galleries, this authentic casino chip comes directly from the Casino Legends Hall of Fame collection — one of the largest and most significant archives of Las Vegas gaming history ever assembled.

Founded by curator Steve Cutler and operated from 1999 to 2006 inside the Tropicana Las Vegas, the Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum showcased over 500,000 pieces of gaming memorabilia, including more than 20,000 rare chips and tokens. This listing represents one of those original museum-held items — officially archived, curated, and preserved as part of Las Vegas history.

What makes this chip special?

Provenance: Held and displayed by the Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum (Tropicana, 1999–2006)
Historical Value: Part of the official exhibit honoring iconic casinos, entertainers, and the golden age of Vegas
Collector Significance: Museum-provenanced chips carry higher long-term value and collector interest
Authenticity: Comes from a curated archive, not a general release or circulation pull

This is more than just a chip — it’s a piece of the museum, the casino, and Las Vegas entertainment history. Whether you're a dedicated chip collector, Vegas memorabilia enthusiast, or first-time buyer, this is a rare opportunity to own an item once preserved behind glass in one of the Strip's most storied locations.
