My pride and joy.

An uncirculated Bellagio $1 House Mold rack. I’m not into this for $100. This rack procured from poker cage after a few days of chatting and tipping and flirting for good Bellagio $3 and $5.

I knew this day would come and come quickly. I told myself I won’t keep chips I’m never going to felt and I’m afraid to look at these let alone shuffle, play or even transport them. The remaining two barrels y’re [mostly] are absolutely glorious. Mint, clean, chalky, uncirculated.

Unapologetically priced at $65 / Barrel for the 4 2 perfect barrels. These are the nicest chips I own.
The "lesser" Barrel E discounted to $45 and only available with the purchase of the rest of the barrels or after the rest of the barrels are claimed.

Barrels A-D - Four stunning uncirculated barrels:

1/2 of Barrel E also looking very strong but the slightest imperfection in any chip in the other barrels and sold rack - a nick or a bite - went to Barrel E. So while Barrel E is uncirculated and these look good they're not quite drop dead perfect like the other 4 barrels.

The remaining 10 chips in Barrel E have this strange wear on 1 side. The manufacturing or boxing process must be hard on the end chips on one side of a rack. I had two racks of these. One perfect uncirculated rack has already been sold @ $65 / barrel. All 10 "end" chips with this kind of wear on one side were culled into this Barrel E.

I'm certain this is some part of manufacturing or handling and they're released from Paulson like this. I've had the same wear on other mint chips. This pic gives you a better sense of how the 10 chips with a "wear" side looks. They're rounded off and dirty. I can't believe this would be part of Paulson's process but it appears that it is. Maybe someone more in the know can enlighten us as to why and when this happens:

All the barrels together:

Not instant dibs. Priority given to largest purchase for first 48 hours.
You're not required to take Barrel E if you want Barrels A-D you can lock them all up immediately.

Shipping:
$6 up to 1 barrel via USPS Ground Advantage
$11 for 2-5 barrels up to all via USPS Priority

Sometimes new chips can have a rounded edge and dirty from a cage person using that chip to “rack check”.
Basically, when counting large amounts of chips quickly, they are loaded into a rack, and the cage member takes a lone chip at an angle and runs it along the edge of the chip faces to “feel” if the rack is full before loading the next rack full of chips. It wears down that lone chip edge, and can leave a star pattern on those chips on the ends.
Beautiful chips, and GLWS!

I don’t think it’s that. It’s around the entire chip uniformly and exactly 10 chips are like this, 1 per barrel. AND the RPC fat hat chip has the same rounding and they were never in a casino cage.

Yea, maybe it’s the chip at the end of a stack in the finishing/lathe stage of production.

It’s gotta be that. I’m shocked their production standards would allow 1/20 chip to be adversely affected by… production. That seems way too high.
 
Split underway bump. 2 Barrels left.
