I've been working on organizing my chips, still on the A chips. I was going over my Casino Aztar chips, both Caruthersville and Evansville. I like to weigh them, and I was nitpicking best quality to try and get an idea on top possible weight, since I have mixed quality. Aztar Caruthersville primary dollars had variations with similar quality, so I started thinking different runs, and since the casino was open during the leaded and unleaded era, it really starts to make sense. But does everyone think about that ? I have racks of secondary which are mint, so I didn't bother weighing each one, as I feel they are all from one run, but I pull out my Aztar Evansville and I have two racks of secondary casino used, they all look pretty similar in quality and I find weights from 9.60 to 10.60, and it's been around during leaded and unleaded era. So I weigh them all and have to figure out where to cut the weight off, from leaded to unleaded. I just went with 10.20 and up and rest below and about 50% are leaded, but when they are all mixed in, it really doesn't show. I mean, all this makes sense, but how many people have a drug scale and weigh every chip ? I figure dollars probably have the most variation, since they have to replace them the most, but 5's are probably up there too.
So in conclusion, give thought to the idea that leaded racks might unknowingly be mixed with unleaded chips if the casino ran in both eras. It's just interesting to think about.
