Here, my CG000234, Isle of Capri Lake Charles, LA, $1 chip, which has a physical mix (smooth) print, and "standard" font for the city name.

And here, my just acquired variant of the Isle of Capri Lake Charles, LA, $1 chip, which has an optical mix (dots) print, and bold font for the city name. The $1 is also of a thicker font, and a darker purple.

Both photos are scans taken together and separated, so are of the same original size.

Do we believe I have a valid variant?
