Does your Las Vegas 25c Chip have C&J mold?

Here is a scan if my examples of the two colors listed in TCR for the Las Vegas Club quarter chips with inlays. Both these obviously have long-cane H&C molds, but neither is anywhere near "shiny". I notice there are other denominations of these chips that are listed as just H&C mold. Are my chips just the result of someone's agressive scrubbing off the shine, or can some collector show a "shiny hats and canes" version of these chips?

By the way, the lighter chip on the right obviously is from a different lot from the other just looking at the clay surfaces. There are lots of tarnished brass-dust particles in the right one; none in the one on the left. There is also a difference in the color of green on the denom, but this could easily be from fading, or from different amounts of ink in the screen press when the inlay was printed. Both sides of the chips show these differences.

The latter two comments don't relate to any suggestion of different varieties that should be listed, but I have a feeling the listing of one or both these as Christy and Jones is in error.
