"When the Osborn chips were made the person that was running the tumbler would go to dinner because they were made after hours (I wonder why?)."

They were made the same as all other coin inlay orders. I have seen the order cards. Nothing secret about the deal.

You would be surprised at the name of the LV "Good Ole Boy" that actually got Bud Jones and Paul Endy to make the Osborne counterfeits. Osborne could not have had the chips made without him being involved.
