Now we're on the same track. Yes, I know that the clay blanks have their hot stamps of images applied randomly, so there may be an equal chance that you'll come across both varieties of chips. Out of the 2,600 $1 chips in my collection only 1% seems to have this insert ordering possibility. That was the gist of the thread.
So, for those collectors who would categorize both variations as 2 different chips then by paying attention to the order of the inserts you may be able to add another 27 chips to your collection. For those who do not care about those differences then move along please.
