Thought I'd show what I consider to be the different types of metal inlay chips.
The three on the top row are the types usually recognized:
The three on the bottom are properly called "plastic molded slug core" (PMSC to use Howdy's abbreviation). These heavy chips may initially appear to be metal inlays on a plastic chip, but in reality, the diecast metal core is produced first and the plastic molded around it; not not a true inlay. The Reno Ramada is a brass core and the Top of the Vine is a bi-metal core, the last type of PMSC chip to be produced before they went the way of the dodo.
