To All,
A few days ago there was a discussion on the board invoplving color of chips. At that time I was discussing the Fremont 50 cent chip. I stated that I had never seen the maroon 50 center listed in TCR as N3027. Allan Myers replied and said he had one and he was going to mail it to me. The chip arrived yesterday. Upon inspection I was surprised to discover the chip is truly maroon in color. It is a Burt H&C (H&C made AFTER split between C&J)hot stamped and by gosh from the Fremont hotel. My guess is it was the first 50 cent H&C of the series used by the Fremont. The HS has a some what different type of lettering than the brown 50 center. It obviously came before the brown one.

You see people - if you look at enough chips some day you too can make an a.. out of yourself like I did Best, Jim
