New 'Chip of the day' -- Nevada Inlay Fractionals

I have really enjoyed the past and present daily chip postings -- so here goes mine.

Of the 147 or so Inlay Fractionals from Nevada, I have over half. With continued filling of holes, I should be able to get out a post a day and get us to the convention.

I love these chips because they are, by their nature, a thing of the past. With the manufacturing cost of chips having passed the denomination value long ago, every fractional chip that walks out of a casino now is a big money loser. Casino response? Make 'em cheap. All fractionals are hotstamped now, and usually pretty darn simple in design.

I will progress alphabetically, lowest denom 1st for that casino.

1st up is Artichoke Joe's $.25 TCR N7368 with LCV H&C mold and a the smaller, darker inlay print. A recent inlay chip from 1993, from a smaller town - Carson City. Love those peanuts.
