~~~ chips with a fracture in the ring.
Though I do not recall exactly which one; the fracture can be detected by holding the chip up to a light where you can see it passing through.
For some odd reason the fractured chips were more popular than the chips that weren't fractured and the price had nothing to do with it even though they were (and still.are) $400 each.
It was Kenny who told me that the rings turned on both the obverse and reverse were the weakest part of the chip.
Kenny was also the first person to notice and report to us in our club magazine where the hash mark was on the arrow die chips and the 'tray marks on the edge of clay chips.
