I guess this shows the old adage that it is just as important whom you know, as what you know. Anyway, I thought/hoped that the blue chip on the right was a new mold, what with the crisp, deep, neat three raised rings in the center. However, my dreams of striking it rich soon dissipated. First, Don Lueders noted that the hot-stamped gold rings in the center looked like a cancellation. Then John Benedict noticed that the three raised rings in the center were off-center. [If the raised rings were part of a mold, they surely would be centered perfectly.] I thought I saw the word "Rainbow" in the hot-stamp area. Allan Myers used acetone (a very strong and fast solvent that eats into the clay, by the way) to remove the gold hot-stamp (which caused the raised rings) to remove the gold of the rings to see what was underneath: "RAINBOW......GARNENA, CALIF." So Maybe it is a $1 chip used at the Rainbow (Club) at 13915 S. Vermont, Gardena CA, 1942 to 1982 (see p. 205 of TGT; small crowns mold cited there). What is it worth now?
