Yesterday I went to Ventura where the air is much more Pura.

The Riverboat of Lake Charles had a green streak across one side. When I attempted to clean it, the green mostly came off but a scratch remained. I immediately thought of the scrap jeweler's trick of drawing nitric acid across metal to check for real gold. Perhaps to someone, a "golden" $1 casino slot token was "certain" to be gold?

The Commerce chip shows smearing to the inlay. It is not surface wear. The shiny inlay cover is not marred. The paper below it is. Interesting variant. Some of these items are for sale, as many are duplicates for me. Some of the chips were sealed together in baggies, buy the whole item. The vendor had another baggie filled with home-play or generic chips, $1000 values and so on, asking $300 for them. Sorry, Godfather, but that was an Offer I could refuse!
