    What leads you to believe that the chip is that old?

    If it's a poker chip and not a casino chip, it won't be worth much. Also, how do you know its age, does it say on the chip?

    A casino chip will have a denomination on it, and the name of the casino. Most casino chips were destroyed when they went out of circulation, so if this is a casino chip from the 1800's, it may have some worth. More valuable are the casino chips from the 1940's, right after the war.

    Poker chips have little to no worth since they are mass produced for consumer use. They're not rare and easy to find, which old casino chips are not.

    Your chip looks to be a poker chip, and it's not in great shape. I don't think you'll get a lot for it since no avid collector would be interested in it.

    You could do some more research on your own, or contact an antique appraiser near you. I'd look for someone that specializes in gambling equipment.

    Good luck.

    PLEASE just go on ebay and start searching other chips, pens, and pillboxes.
    Your pictures are blurry and incomplete, you don't know the material of anything, and it's impossible to help you.
    The chip shown is just a monogram. You need to know whose. It's too damaged anyway.
    With all the flaws in the objects you have shown, I don't think you should waste your time on any of this.
    And 'in about 1800 century' makes no sense. 18th century is the 1700s. The 1800s were a time of enormous industrialisation at the end, so it matters what year.
