The scan here shows an example of the 50/50 rule, where certain conditions are presnt in order for the occurrance to happen. As discussed previously (link here: http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/bbs521/webbbs_config.pl/noframes/read/774611 ) the chip MUST have several elements present for the variation to occur, one of which is that both inlays MUST have a different design. Secondly, the inserts must appear in a different color rotation when the chip is flipped over.
The scan here is an excellent example of two such instances where each denomination appears in two variations. I collect, when possible, these kinds of variations. I refer to this type of variation as a 50/50 rule because when the inlays are applied, the chip blanks are inserted into the holders in a random process, i.e., the blanks are grabbed from a bucket or bin, and without regard to the inlay orientation they are just placed into the holders. Statistically speaking, this is like flipping a coin; half the time one orientation will be used and the half the time it will be the other orientation.
(scan shows four separate chips)
This 50/50 rule is similar to the situation where Chipco chips with two different inlay designs AND a unique printing around the rolling edge of the chip is present that half the chips are aligned one way and half the time the other way. And Yep! I collect those variations as well, when possible.
Thanks for looking!
