Christy Jones Shiny hat, H&C mold first made in 1955.

Christy Jones 1st inlaid order was December 1958-$5 Mint Club Reno – Dec 15, 1958-It actually says in the Burt Ledger “(1st crest and seal order)” They called inlaid chips, C&S in those days.

Christy Jones (Bill Christy) Co split in 1964 when Bud Jones left.

Christy took the mold to Paulson.

Paulson sold more many more shiny hat chips than CJ ever did.

Above facts, thanks to Jim Blanchard and Burt Co records.

If you put a CJ H&C and a none CJ H&C side by side, IMO the difference will jump off the chip and temporary blind you.
