Nevada Inlay Fractional of the Day

Up to Reno for today's chip from the storied Riverside on the banks of the Truckee, during the Pick Hobson (and final) era. This 50 center is 11th issue, N5494, released in 1978.

No shrinking violet, here. A banana yellow chip with edgespots of carolina blue and raspberry sherbet take the stage, subduing the small crown mold and plainish inlay. Odd irregular and lurching text curving, like their graphics package couldn't handle a smooth text bend. Nice touch on the mini bronco rider and stagecoach (with wheel ruts, even!).
