So I really need to get my hands on a leaded RHC ... if only there was an auction or something.
What's the Deal with PCA $1s (1 Viewer)

No... you need some THCs with the same color edgespots as primary ones....

I wonder how much of a premium the leaded/textured PCA RHC is over a standard RHC. But with the numbers of chips ordered, I guess it makes sense that they saved money by ordering the $1 in RHC. I wonder why other casinos don't do this ... seems like a good cost saving approach that would also prevent harvesting.

Well, if that's the case then what explanation is left other than @RocAFella1's comment about Missoura being "weird like that"

Most likely the $1 chip was on the RHC mold because the casino wanted a larger inlay to show off the name of the casino more. Much like the horrible Aztar $5. Be thankful that it was not a giant or Grand inlay!!!
The $1 chip being RHC doesn’t bother me. Would I prefer a THC, sure, but it is still very good.
I’d take the RHC regular inlay over the train wreck of the Aztar $5. All the other chips in that set are great, and the $5 is probably the worst chip ever.
the PCA $1 is a very nice chip.

So, I've always stayed away from oversized RHCs b/c of what people post here. I finally got a chance to grab some Aces $3s and I absolutely love them. I thought I'd be put off by the oversized inlay, but I wasn't. The Aztar $5 is a fugly chip, no doubt ... but I gotta say that oversized RHC ain't so bad.

Take a look at Riverside Casino. All THC except a RHC $5. http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MORIR1&v=3550805130

Yeah, ok, so what the hell. There's no way they bought more $5s than $1s, right? So why oh why! The artwork is just as big on the THC as on the RHC. The only reason is b/c MO be weird.
To expand on the MO be weird theory, it might be that a Paulson rep from that time who worked the Missouri region liked to recommend that one chip be RHC, either $5 or $1. I don't think the casinos would independently decide that they should all make the $1 or $5 chip RHC, and the fact that they're all from a similar region and time makes me believe that it's likely from a weird rep.

Exactly. When ordering chips from GPI you don't ask questions, you just pay the bill. Perhaps one day I'll be able to put that philosophy into action. I guess with the casinos it comes down to dollars and cents. We as chippers let emotions come into play. I.E We all have a case of the I gotta haves.
Very nice! What were these prior to milling?
Being generally a white dollar guy, I prefer the Aztar $1 secondary over those, as a smoother transition from pink-to-red.
But I think the best substitution done so far is @Perthmike's blue 414-spotted Scandias. They were a fabulous fit.
Spotted starbursts with the same spots/colors as Le Cove $1s

If you ever came to my house you'd probably burst into flames. Why no blue love?

I'm shocked but very glad that people have accepted the red-headed step child of PCA chips into their sets.
