I was just wondering how to get the gold and silver hot stamp off of the chips. They also have a star-like depression pressed into the inlay that CANNOT be removed. I have over 200 of these chips that I use for my home poker games, and I consider them worthless as collector's items. I just wanted to clean them up a bit. If anyone has any more of these "Crown Casino" chips for sale, please contact me.....I especially need more of the $25 chips. Thanks to everyone for their replies on how to remove the hot stamps though, much appreciated.
