In all my years I have never seen or heard of this. Anyone know anything about it?
Anyone ever seen this? Paulson error mold? (4 Viewers)

I've seen 'injection points' in LCV hats once before... but unfortunately, do not recall the details. 
That looks like an inlay replacement, however. The replacement label sits lower than the surrounding clay (if assuming it's clay).

WTF is that.... in before Kifer.....
That's weird it's got a long cane too

Is definitely clay. Milled by @Josh Kifer and labeled by me. It is LCV but I’ve never seen the dots. I bought 300 chips and there were 4 in the batchI've seen 'injection points' in LCV hats once before... but unfortunately, do not recall the details.

@justincarothers Does the other side of the chip have the same looking injection points?
Wow. I didn't even notice. I'm the worst.
All of them milled the same, so not sure what's going on. I would have thought I would notice a difference, but apparently I didn't....

Only one one side
Less booze?

No difference in feel
I was sober even! The worst!
I'd assume it's just a screwed up mold that they eventually discovered and threw out. Is it like that on both sides?
Some mystical @Josh Kifer milling boogers..... Explain yourself sir.
I kind of remember this being discussed on CT a long time ago, but too have forgot anything useful. Is it heavy or light compared to other H&Cs?
Yeah this looks like a relabel. Also, for anyone's info, the Flamingo in Reno was branded as the "Flamingo Hilton". Also its clay house chips did not have a Flamingo on it and I think the inlays were on a house mold.

I mean, the scraps tasted the same. When that happens, I assume they are good...Some mystical @Josh Kifer milling easter egg..... Explain yourself sir.
It's a HS that was milled and that's a gear label.

Only on one side
In that case, it's most likely just one mold they screwed up and eventually fixed.

Sorry this was a hot stamped chip that I had milled and labeled. They feel just like any other LCV chip.
Sure.... mill the inlay area and then add some fake injection points.... I call some kind of shenanigans......
Even more reason it's sad that all that information on CT has disappeared into the ether and we can't go back and look it up when we forget.
we eat a different kind of lead chips here
Somehow I doubt this will lead to a rash of fake injection mold pips applied into THC mold hats for shits and giggles.
I'm guessing it must have been uneventful, otherwise at least one of us would remember something.
Or maybe not.....

Yes! I have racks of two other solid color LCV chips with the same dimples in 2 of the hats -- one is a rack of orange solid LCVs (that were milled when I bought them), and the other is a rack of brown/chocolate solid hotstamp roulette chips.
If I recall correctly, I bought some or all of them from @duffman, and if so, he knows about past discussion* on these at CT and/or PCF and/or at meet-ups, and he was gracious enough to be forthcoming with the details and caveats about the dimples on the chips before he sold them to me.
*Cliff notes -- there seem to have been two camps -- one camp thinking they are somehow fake/counterfeit/not Paulsons, but the other camp, (especially the people who have seen and handled the chips in person) thinking they are genuine Paulsons, but made with some mold never used again.
But I don't think anyone knows anything definitive about the error mold or how they came to be made.
The chips I have absolutely look, feel, and sound like other Paulson chips. [I will try to remember take some photos this weekend and post here.]
The fact that there are other chips out there with the same markings, makes it seem much more likely it was some error mold never used again.
Thanks for sharing!

Interesting. Just saw this post. As far as I can recall, for the orange & brown chips I have like this, all the chips in the rack have the dimple markings. [Edit: one one side only, like the white chip above.]

I refuse to believe these are fake paulsons only because if otherwise impeccable fakes can pass the feel test from us chipes degenerates, then they would’ve made their way into a major casino’s circulation at some point Amd they have ways to snuff it out methinks

Well out of the 300 these four are the only LCVs and all have the dots. They definitely feel just like a Paulson. I would bet money they are genuine.
