I was, and now that I look back at my message.

My vote is that someone was trying to defraud the casino.

TCR 3 lists it as Doctored $15 value. (I paid more than that) but the chip has been around for quite some time.

For someone to be making fakes to cheat collectors, they would have to have a bunch of hub mold blanks, or scrape off the real inlays, then get a real one and go to the copy shop to make color copies, which were not cheap even in 1995. Then the color of the glue and poor quality.

Chip collectors look at chips and inspect them. If created to cheat us, it was sure to be discovered very soon. The inlay isn't round, looks cut by hand. Yes that's brown glue around the edges and even smeared on the chip.

That's why my opinion is that someone was ringing in at the casino.
