Real vs. Borland FLAMINGO CAPRI $1
In Response To: A Real FLAMINGO CAPRI $1 ()

3 things to look for in a Flamingo Capri Borland chip.

1. The chip color is not the correct shade or it is the wrong color altogether (example of wrong color - 25c brown vs. 25c blue)
2. The hot-stamp is thicker and more bronze in color.
3. The chip is typically medal-aligned, but not always.

Example of a real chip vs. the Borland chip are shown below.
