Title: Are these fake or real Golden nuggets, never seen these before.
Post by: Lydian on August 01, 2015, 08:32:13 AM

Here's the pic. I've bought them anyway, so will see when they arrive. But very intrigued as I've never seen any like this. Look like good fakes if they are anyway. What do you think? Lee Asher.

I'm not the most experienced person around when it comes to Golden Nuggets, but I've never seen a GN deck that looks quite like that one before.  I hope you didn't pay a lot for it!

These are real, though they are not made by USPC. They are made by Gemaco. Good find as they are pretty scarce. I've only seen one other image of this deck before in a Frenchman's GNugg collection.

Hope that helps...

Ah that's awesome thanks Lee. I took a bit of a gamble at the time, it was part of a lot of 6 green cancelled decks that I didn't want atall. I was really drawn to the black one though, I've got some more pictures. It's uncancelled, complete and looks in fantastic condition. Never even seen or heard of this deck before.

Here's the other pic.

(Pictured above) Those look to be a deck of AC GNuggs.

What does AC mean Lee?

AC stands for Atlantic City (New Jersey).

Lovely, surprisingly well. Helped me get over my disaster with the jerrys opening at least!
