Help with THC Chips with hologram.stickers? (1 Viewer)

Interesting ... I have some of those exact chips, that I acquired probably 10+ years ago, and I have never seen any others like them since.
The hologram sticker seems to be factory-applied. That is, it's not over an inlay or another hotstamp.

This is what I was able to find for you...

Looks like the stamp was just covered with the inlay, at least that's what the desc says.

Ah, right, I remember that chipguide entry now.
The chips I have definitely do not have the Fantasy Cruises logo hotstamp. That's an either-or thing, meaning they either have the hologram sticker or they have the Fantasy Cruises logo. The hologram sticker is not over a hotstamp -- the chipguide description is wrong.

Same! They were from some Texas retailer back in the day if that helps.
Got it, thanks for clearing that up @Gear
Haha this place is awesome …so I really not need peel these stickers off to see what’s underneath…was kinda curious as the “starburst“ inlays were the closest I could find to these.
Maybe it’s just shadow, but that hologram doesn’t look like a factory inlay to me - it looks a hair smaller than the recess. Was it previously milled?
I seriously doubt it. I had these chips in that condition loooooooong before I ever milled anything.
You’re the expert and you have it in hand, so I’d take your opinion as fact. But the picture makes it look suspect to me.
Yeah, you're not wrong. That is, I guess someone milled it, since the inlay recess is slightly bigger and deeper than on normal chips, but I suppose I've always assumed it was done by Paulson back in the day (i.e. someone ordered them like that.)
Maybe not? It does seem likely that they were modified after final pressing. Who/what/when/why remains a mystery, but my point is that if these were indeed milled and labelled by someone outside of Paulson, they did it YEARS before anyone around here (or even the blue site) did.

Great googly moogly, they butchered this poor guy.
Milling is when somebody takes a hot stamped chip and drills (with a spade bit) a few millimeters of clay off the top to remove the hot stamp and make room for a sticker. The idea is to make it look like a factory inlaid chip, but the results can vary.
Look at the edges of the hologram - does that look to you like an inlay that was pressed into the chip while the clay was soft? Or does it look like somebody drilled out a recess for that sticker.
(The answer is B)
Yep what u said! Actually, looking thru the rest of the chips some of holograms are not even centered correctly. Maybe they succumbed to heat and moved or were just stamped on incorrectly, but thanks again for your expertise in chip knowledge.

Milled and re-labeled.
FYI- I am afraid to post this pic as @upNdown will tell me how bad it looks. Hahaha.

Absolutely thanks dood! Not really worth trading/selling but for everyday play these are the bomb and feel/play great.
