How many of the $1s have messed up inlays?

Let’s make this a little more interesting

How many of the $1s have messed up inlays?

I'm not sure. I haven't inventoried them. But they are the standard used Trop $1s, which pretty much all have inlay issues to my knowledge. Some people choose to replace the bad inlays with gear labels, some of the chips are fine, others don't mind. All the other denoms have good labels though.

 

[RainmanTrail]

I'll take a splashed pot pic of the $1s tonight so you can see them.

Looks like I can't edit the OP, but for those who don't know what @Marius L is referring to, the 2nd edition Trop $1s all have this super thin film that covers the inlay. Over time, this thin film can work itself loose or sort of bubble or wrinkle up a bit. It's hard to get a good pic of it when it happens, but these photos try to capture that. I believe you can often just peel it off (I just did one and it worked), but some are definitely worse than others, and some chips are just fine. This is pretty standard for these chips (or so I'm told). But it only affects the $1s, not the other denoms for whatever reason.

The splashed pot pic shows a few of the worst offenders best.

That’s a beautiful mold
