Yes these are not Dave Walons work but made by the original manufacturer Reliable Engraving Co. in San Leandro California. The 2 $500 chips came from Harvey's vault in Lake Tahoe. I talked with Jeff Ehorn at Reliable in 1989. Yes several off colors were sent to Harveys so they could observe on camera the different colors in table play. They would then order the ones that worked the best for there security cameras. The maroon and blue $500’s are both off color from the table chip that was pink. I am not worried about showing the colors because I think it would not be wise to change an original pink $500 because they are just as rare. I also have a $2 off color that is not listed. I will not tell the color because someone could take the original brown and make this off color. I would like to have comments on to show or not to show the $2 off color and why?
Having fun Steve
