If there is no casino name then they are probably home chips. Take a look at the casino chip of the day thread and you can see what a real chip looks like.

The chips are most likely simply poker chips. Not cheques, no real value, just chips used for "home" poker games and tournaments.

If there is a casino name on them, you can search for it on the Museum of Gaming History Chip Guide.

If the chips do not have a casino name on them, there is no chance that they can be cashed in. However, even if they are "home game" chips, if they are very old, they may have some collector value.

Good Luck! Let us know how it turns out.

Pictures of the chips would help a lot. Generic home chips are usually not worth more than $1 each.

He can't post a picture as a new member. I wouldn't know what I'm looking at. Do you want to give him an email address he could send pictures to?

I tend to think he is a one-post wonder. If he really wanted to post a picture he could upload it somewhere and then post a link to it.

The aspect I find curious is that the chips have no casino designation yet are implied as having $5 and $50 denominations. No home chips that I've ever seen have dollar figures as they're meant to configure your own home game value.

I'd like to see them!

See the image Blue Eagle posted for home chips that have denominations printed on them. I couldn't really understand the original post, but a $50 chip would be an oddity.

I have a set of 300 Paulson chips like these:



I have the red 5 cents, green 25 cents, and grey $1. We usually set the reds at $5 and the greens at $25.
