It's the old coin collector coming out in me. I know there is a difference in chip and coin collecting. I'd like a chips looking the way they were when they hit the table on opening day. I can make a dirty worn chip out of any new one but, once the shiny is gone you can't put it back. Which half dollar would you want even if you knew the crappy one went down on the Titanic. History is good I guess. I didn't have to take history when I was in school.......there wasn't any.
