If I increase the" blue color saturation" on both, I can see a difference, so I'd agree the colors in the clay are different.

I can't believe this was done intentionally by Caesars though. Must be a re-order and they got close, but a different Mexican did the color mixing. I'm guessing that given enough time, a cataloger could come up with similar color variations for any casino's chips that had been reordered. Given that Caesars $5 chips in th 80's already had lots of intentional differences in the color spots, I question why we would go to the trouble of creating more in TCR.

What caused me to look at this pair of chips in the first place is the fact that neither The Chip Guide or Paul Hegge's web site showed both varieties of this chip. Either they couldn't see the difference or didn't think it mattered .
