Anyone have the 411 on such a chip? (1 Viewer)

[RivieraDanny]

I have researched this and believe it to be “counterfeit”. The only official reference I can find on it was a brief mention that Paulson made it and MGM never approved it and in fact told Paulson to cancel any made. The official was on a yellow chip with a Paulson overlay on one side as pictured below.

Any close item that’s real is below. I’ve never known MGM to have a 10’er in recent times.

Check the NGC report.

According to the NGC report, the first ones were real:

The second one which is yellow with 3ta316 spots was also ordered by the casino, but I'm not sure whether they were used, given the lack of information on the report:

If somebody is capable of “counterfeiting” TH&C chips, even with hideous giant inlays I have some money I want to throw at them...

Yeah, that's pretty unlikely. Very nearly impossible.

Fake in what way? Not Paulson-made? Not the original inlay?

I would wager large sums of money -- giving large odds -- on neither of those being true.

In what other ways could it be fake -- CGI, aka just a virtual image and not a real item?

Probably not official casino weight

well interestingly enough listed on eBay with the other 5 or 6 just like it are a sheet of inlays of that very chip. I asked the seller if they were authentic and he said if they were fake there would be a fake coa with them. I wouldn't think Paulson would let those slip out but I could be wrong. The seller of one of the chips told me if i bought it i could cash it in at MGM for 25$. That made me laugh, cash in a 10er for 25!! Ill do that all day long.

Certificate of Authenticity.

Also not the first time a sheet of raw Paulson inlays has surfaced. Rare, but not a first.

Looks like Mike took a bite outta that chip.

In fact, there's three such sheets on eBay right now, all from the same seller.

Tyson's opponent was actually "Bosa". They used Mike's pronunciation.

Was Botha wearing the chip as an earring at the time?
