... I'd sure as heck would want the example that Jack illustrates to be in my collection side-by-side with the soon-to-be 25¢ Bally's chip with the correct location spelling.

In my book (and in Webster's, too); an error is something incorrectly done through ignorance or carelessness; a mistake... no matter if 60-million or one exist of an example. I also believe any author (or anyone cataloging/indexing such chips from Mississippi) would be correct in calling this chip an error. Even if one wanted to stretch the issue and simply call the chip a "mistake" -- Webster (and I know we have viewers who believe Webster was bent all out of shape) defines a mistake as: "an error resulting from carelessness; inattention and/or misunderstanding."

IMO, an "error" of any type (concerning chips) should not be understood as occurring in the actual production process, only... no matter how many examples exist.

Somebody made an "error" here, folks, and it continued on (un-noticed, perhaps) in the production stage; the finished product was delivered to the casino and what took place after that (and why) I'll leave to those who have knowledge of such. I do know one thing for sure, though; Bally's made a correction.
