Greeting fellow pcf members. I have a cdi set which i recently purchased. After closer inspection today i have noticed that on some of the 500 chips that the green is vibrant on both but the pink is slightly duller on others. Is it possible that they were made from a different mode or manufactured at a different time? I have supplied some photos. When i handle them they feel and sound the same.

Could those more purple spotted 500s be relabled paulson classics?

The mold also is slightly different being "indented" on the chip with the brighter spots.

I’m not sure. I’m leaning towards the idea these chips actually turned out different, during different production campaigns.

During my time owning Paulson Pharaohs and CDIs, I saw this throughout some of my chips, None of them were relabeled. They appeared different even as minty chips. I also saw this same color difference in the $25 denom, in both Pharaohs and CDIs.
 
Not 100% familiar with these, and there might have been different runs made? But I found some pics after a little searching just to show your what I mean.

Mold is slightly different. Cdi05 vs classics.

Ah, didn't see this reply when I wrote my last reply.

Did you see different molds used for both sets as well?
 
Thank you all for your replies so far.
I’m leaning towards this simply because of my experience with the Pharaohs $25 and $500. I have photos somewhere but I need to dig through a back up drive.
I would be interested in seeing them:)
