Poker enthusiasts can now ante up with real silver, platinum and gold high roller poker coins made with actual precious metals courtesy of The United States Gold Bureau.
The “High Roller” poker sets use real silver, gold and platinum coins from the U.S. Mint for the chips, rather than the plastics or clays that are normally used at home games, poker clubs and even casinos.
There are several sets forthcoming including the “Billionaire Set” that features components of the “Modern Coins” set and adds in 10 1-kilo bars of pure gold, and the “Wilde West Set”, which uses U.S. gold and silver coins that were in actual circulation during the 1800s and early 1900s.
“Imagine tossing a handful of $5 Indian Head coins into the pot, just like Jesse James or Billy the Kid may have done,” said John Hutmacher, president of The U.S. Gold Bureau. “It really brings history alive and turns a regular poker game into a truly unique experience.”
The standard set retails for $375,000 and prices are available on request for the other sets and custom sets. Prices can also fluctuate with the market for precious metals and collectible coins.
“The U.S. Gold Bureau is a leading authority on consumer education and using gold as an investment vehicle,” said Hutmacher, “but that doesn't mean we don't understand the value of owning precious metals as a status symbol.”
