These should be called what they are, these are contemporary forgeries that were made to take advantage of the collector market.
What John is talking about is different, he is talking about chips that were reworked to be used in a different clubs.
I don't believe these had monograms that were removed, they were numeral chips that were used long ago. Someone found them
6 months or so ago and added the ships name to them around the numerals. They were never on the ship.
I think they should be noted on the guide as MODERN FAKES and I would include all pictures of them, even the ones put in the frames.
