Why is it perfectly on the edge spots and not the Blurple. I cleaned 120 primary $100s last night that had color transfer "neon pink" in most of the white edge spots. Color transfer is clay, it scrapes off just like if you cut into a face of a chip. The pink crap on the $500s comes off in chunks almost like a hardened enamel, it's not the same composition at all. It is much harder almost like you need a small jack hammer to get it to break loose... and then when it does it crumbles off in chunks as you scrape, like a heavy duty coating.
Also you can Scrub color transfer off, it can take a while but it will come off. The pink crap on the $500s you can Scrub all day and it will still be there. I never scrape a chip with a knife unless it is 100% necessary .
Again as far as cancelation paint which does exist

This stuff is made not to come back off!
Back to why? I have no clue... but another example would be the Ace's Casino and Sports Bar chips (my first paulsons) about 15 - 20% of the used $1 chips have gray paint over the 1/8" blue edge spots shown here

Top left $1 Blue Edge spots, right just below center $1 gray edge spots but you can still see the Blue underneath and starting to come back through. You can scrape it off and get them back to Blue again... but the question here is why? I own 660 Aces $1 chips and have just over a rack combined from those 6 racks of the grays, my set was built over a year and racks from many different people and randomly they all had the same thing. It's not color transfer, it's paint and a damn hard paint at that. Someone took the time to perfectly hand paint over the Blue spots and not get it on the adjacent red spots though . Also can be seen in the bottom left rack (with the 4 barrels of $1s) in this pic

Maybe trying to make a secondary, marking chips for a specific game in a high Rollers or specialty room and didn't want to order different chips? Seriously no idea. Maybr it is the banks way of saying "these chips are no longer usable and the.casino doesn't have to carry the funds at the end to cover them when they are close to shutting down? Seriously no clue
But color transfer is flat on the chips, smears into the clay... this pink stuff on the IG $500 chips is only on the edge spots, scrape the Blurple and you get blurple, not pink chunks on your knife.
Or Maybe I flat out have no idea what I am talking about. Not worth a argument... took me almost 2 days to clean my 20 so no worries to me "inconclusive" is fine too!

But seriously good luck to those that bought a bunch of them. Hope your US cleaners get it off for ya! I hear those things work wonders! Lol
@Marius L seriously bro I appreciate it, but we have what we need. If one goes missing or if we find any more damaged chips then I may hit you up buddy. Believe me I wish I could have ordered extras. I normally get 5 extra of everything but woth the 2k restriction and doing both cash and tourney, I didn't even get the Ideal breakdowns I would like. Fingers crossed no more damage, but it happens. No big deal!
