OK boys and girls - is this a new variation? I know that these are new chips - they have no wear on them. If you look carefully you will see that the R in Caesars on the new chip is orange instead of light yellow. Also the leaves on either side of the chip are colored on the outside edge, white on the inside edge. The old ones are colored on the inside edge and white on the outside. I have several of the old chips and they are all almost identical.

At the very least these are a new run of chips and I would say that they are a variation of the old one.
