And now onto the other denominations

My earlier comments also cited the $5, $100 and $500 denoms. I will therefore attempt to clarify that statement.

Dealing with the top two values first, it has long been known and recorded that examples of these were also manufactured in 1991 after the casino closed. The two I show were made as such.
It has not been possible to confirm whether genuine examples of these two existed prior to the casino closing as they have only been recorded in uncirculated condition with identical mold. There were no CJ issues for these two values.

Onto the $5. The first two chips are both CJ, almost certainly one of these would have been ordered along with the 'notched' $25, by PS from Burt. The other could well have been a re-order. The two chips are definitely of different color. Large nicks on the reverse confirm same.

The right hand $5 displays all the characteristics of the PS mold used to create the other 3 denoms after the casino closed. Likewise they have only been recorded in uncirculated condition. Furthermore, their route onto the market is the same as the other denoms. The only thing that stops me being 100% sure (as oposed to 99%) is that the chip has a SCA inlay rather than cog. It could of course be that in an effort to 'replicate as near as possible' the existing issues, an error was made with the inlay.
