this email was sent to Don but now I think all should read it.

Could the restorers take out the impression that the hot stamp leaves? I have removed hot stamps and although the color is gone the impression is still there. I have looked them over very carefully and there is no impression. I purchased the chips in a lot of 106 riverboat chips from 3 states and all the others have the appearance of just coming off the boat. I think these were obtained the same way. Of course, if a purchaser were dissatisfied with them I would take them back & make a refund. That guaranty is good for my lifetime if the chip proves to have been misrepresented. - Dave
