This actually caught my eye because @Spinettis Gaming linked this on Facebook.

I’m not sure where you got the idea that leaded paulsons have lead discs inside them, but they 100% do not. Break one in half if you don’t believe me. Leaded Paulsons had lead mixed into the clay formula. I’ve always assumed the lead was melted and mixed in, but I suppose it could have been in some kind of powdered form, though that would seem dangerous to work with. As far as TRKs go, I don’t know, I’m not a TRK guy nor have I ever broken one open, but I’d guess with 99% certainty that they don’t have lead discs inside them either.
As far as I know, the only high end chips that are slugged with metal discs for weight are plastics, like bud Jones. Not sure what metal they’re using, but it looks like brass to me.

I believe this is @Okku, but I could be mistaken

Yes, Paulson did not, it was mixed in the clay. Some of the older Christy & Jones H&C's did. Those were made by Burt/ASM.

The blue/grey chip on the right is a Silver Slipper $1.

Not Paulson, but THC. Maybe that’s what was being discussed?

The video was made by @Okku

No, the video mentioned Paulsons and TRKs specifically, which is why I addressed those. I appreciate that pic, @John Conor of what I assume is a christy and Jones? Good to know.

here's a very old Chip Club article written by Dr Allen Myers who actually x-rayed chips to see which ones had metal discs in them. It does mentions Paulson Auto-Truck chip, but don't forget, Burt (ASM) made H&C chips for Paulson for a little while before Paulson started manufacturing its own chips.

That was me who made the video!

My understanding is that it was a lead based powder, probably a compound of some sort. Not unlike how there used to be lead in paint and gasoline.

Whatever metal slug Abbiati uses in their chip, it is non-ferrous.
Has anyone done a magnet test on weighted Bud Jones or Matsui? (I don't have any)
