Spectacular Colorized Tokens from Chip Show

I got three colorized tokens from the Super Chip show last week. This 1989 Caesars Palace 5 is one of the nicest. Blue metal-flake background on a Goldine token. This token is O'Neal catalog 1261, except it's a die variety... the chariot side has a die crack under the wheel, and it appears that the couch side has part of a letter missing from the casino name; "Caesaps Palace". I have this token not painted with the die crack, but not with the broken letter, so it's possible it was just painted over.

I understand these tokens were all painted by old ladies from the far-West. I don't know whether the labor was cheap or not [g].
