Following info provided by Dave Spragg / Owner - Marlow Casino Chips / UK
who has owned a couple of these along with the companion piece (only 6+ pieces)
"Chariot - No Date" / SSC#: CPlvnv-001
All the examples of this strike, like this one, should be in perfect condition, as
they were never supplied to the casino because Caesar’s cancelled the order.
The only 6+ of each that were made were then forwarded back to the mint that
took over the order and that’s how he came by a few for his collection.
Heritage auctions sold a pair for $3000.00 + $2500.00 plus the premium, that being
the Chariot and the Coliseum. Dave also sold the pair privately at similar prices.
William Cohenour's 2017 Strike Guide place the value of this at $2000.+
and the companion piece, "Chariot - No Date" at $2000.+
Howard W. Herz, owner of Howdy's Strike Guide placed the value of this at $3200.
and the companion piece, "Chariot - No Date" at $3200.
