Hi Jerry: Where you been? Jerry brings up a good point. I've seen several chips that have been left in a window of a shop.... or on the cash register in a coffee shop... or subject to flourescent lighting or sunlight.... all of which has an effect on the original colors. Red is the first color to go. I have a $1 Brighton that has no visible denomination on the reverse, just a brown scalloped center inlay that used to be white on one side.... perfect on the other. Many chips show these brown center inlays on one side only. I've been asked about them many times. I've given the same answer many times about sun, grease, smoke, etc. all contributing to one side of the chip being perfect, the other (brown) side being exposed to something. Some have accepted my explanation, some have insisted that these are error chips. I don't argue with them. I've learned (especially since many of the e-bay Paulson fantasy chip posts) that we can't protect each other from ourselves. Some folks just simply have to have it.... like durgs, and they don't care about laying out the cash to aquire these things, even after they have been forewarned.. Archie
