How hard would it have been for someone to center that $1?
Printing irregularities are part of the charm of old chips, IMHO. These are from 1968.

I'm also from 1968, and my "1" hangs slightly to the left as well.

Except... depending on the buyer, they probably did. Now I'm not saying they should get every penny back they spent having them milled or murdered. And also, if they've been relabeled, don't try to ask for what you spent relabeling them. Nobody wants your personal custom labels. (generally)
But If I'm looking for a chip to put into a custom set, as opposed to just wanting the original inlay, I will absolutely pay a little more for a chip that's already been milled or murdered. Because it's going to save me time, trouble and postage in the long run over buying the same chip unaltered.

Okay, I don't know what I did other than just state a controversial opinion as that's what this thread is about. I'm not trying to pick fights or poke at anybody, so I'll just bow out of this thread...LOL! I guess my comment is definitely controversial... 
Oh, one more controversial opinion, or at least seems contradictory/funny to me: People that consider leaded Paulsons to be preferable due to the weight, but then order dayglo base colored CPC sets.

Controversial opinions get pushback. It's the whole reason to post them and tell people to eat a bag of dicks. That's why it's so fun.

I don’t know how many people actually care about weight - although I can appreciate heavier chips, it doesn’t matter much once you’re playing. We love to post weights just to have some kind of measuring stick. But I don’t think many people seriously care about the difference between 9.5g and 8.5g.

I misread this as "measuring dick", but that's also how I perceive many of the posts with weights.
Oh great. We are gonna measure dick weights now? I'm gonna need another scale. Shit.I misread this as "measuring dick", but that's also how I perceive many of the posts with weights.
I tend to agree with the smaller differences, but I think most of us probably notice major differences.
I know when I pick up a stack of 8 chips to put in a shuffle pile I notice and appreciate the heavier chips.
I categorize them in 3 groups: noticeably light (under 9g), normal (~9-10.5g), and noticeably heavy (above 10.5g).
I was going to post this exact thing @extreme517 Your post got a ton of pushback, which only means it was a highly successful post. The worst is to post something you think is controversial, then have everyone here ignore it. In this instance, you win!
but you're still wrong...

It all depends on the chip. A lot of chips people like with the sole intention of murdering them anyways so if they are already murdered then it saves you some work.
Other chips people don’t want murdered so selling them murdered won’t fetch what they would be if original. (ie my pca $25s which I didn’t murder but someone else did only sold for 3/5th the cost the originals did)
Ahhh. You need one with more decimal places?

Oh, I have yet another controversial opinion:
Dayglo peach is NOT the best CPC Cali colored $5. In fact, CPC has 4 or 5 colors MORE yellow than dayglow peach, which is ORANGE.
Dayglo peach is the PCF bastardized $5 color, NOT a Cali color.
(For the record, I like the Tiger Palace VIP2 $5...in fact, VIP2 cash set is the nuts.)

Which CPCs are more yellow?
State them, watch the controversy flow!
No. It's the best one color.

Dayglo Arc Yellow
Also, back in the day arc yellow was always considered the nuts for ASM/CPC colors It's weird to me that it changed to peach somewhere along the way. Peach is a good edge spot on a green chip... that's about it. LOL
I don't see any issues with the yellow....
I don't see any yellow...
That's because you are colorblind.... This is actually an intervention and we have been needing to talk to you about it.
@bergs has a letter he would like to read. Please sit quietly and let him finish it before comments. Thank you.
Peach isn't trying to be yellow. And I don't think this is controversial. There are maybe 3 total sets that use peach on the $5
