... Sorry you misunderstood my intention of the word "original" in my initial post and then again in a response to Gene's post.

I refer to the chips I sold from the "Newhouse '95 Find" as being "original" in the sense of they being the INITIAL; FIRST and EARLIEST known and recorded with the large white inlay with the black litho text.

Also, my "Better yet... show me the Mason card" in my initial response to Gene's post will help us know exactly when this chip (series; or whatever) was in play, because there has been a lot of discussion between Reno historians as to when and where the chip (original; first known; earliest found with this inlay) was used.
