Note the "S" "E" and "S" and maybe more letters in the close-up example are also missing parts.

Maybe a crooked or weak strike, possibly a broken or worn die.

While I have little interest in errors, of something that's got little in the way of quality control, except glaring mistakes in manufacturing, I tend to agree that most of these are avaailable my the hundreds if not thousands.

The whole idea of an error being worth more, isn't just that someone messed up, or that the die broke for 1000 chips. (in my opinion!) But that the error has some scarce qualities.

Even a misprint, where all the chips are wrong, can be worth more, if the casino pulled all of them, except a small number. It's not an error, it's a mistake.

What I'm getting at, is that an error, shouldn't be listed if it's on of 1000s, based on variations of the same TYPE of error.

Weak strike, or broken die, covers it.

As for values. Whatever the market will bear. TCR doesn't set prices, they reflect the prices and catalog them.
