And there is usually no intentation made. These were hot stamped twice, but were more of a surface stamp. Since the whole rack came out, the prices on these are typically less than a $1 each, if you buy 100 of them, comes down to maybe .50-.70 each. These are used mainly as poker chips. I use about 600 $1's and $5's in my monthly poker game. I have a feeling that guy selling them used them as poker chips and doens't know much about the casino chip collector market.
