Hello PCFers,

I'm sure many of you can help. I've searched old posts and am probably missing something, but is there one place I can go to see the variations of Paulson chip molds? I think I have almost all of the basics down, but want to make sure I understand exactly what someone means when they say "RCV, THC, LCV, RHC etc, etc." I'm not certain that all PCFers call the same mold by the same designation (or they aren't specific enough).

One example: I think I've seen that Paulson's suited mold might have more than one variation? Another Example: Lucky Dragon now has some chips with a denomination on the mold?

Are there simply too many to list (Title, acronym or abbreviation, pic or example)?

1) if a thread exists, can someone please point me to it?
2) if one does not exist, can we start one that we keep updated in the OP with the basic info?

Thanks in advance!

Sparty

For translation purposes, that link shows Short Cane Version and Long Cane Version, which are often both referred to as THC (top hat and cane) - probably because the difference between the two is so subtle that reading glasses are needed to tell the difference.
It also shows Alternating Directions, which is usually referred to here as RHC (reverse hat and cane)
 
thanks! that's a great start. Still don't see the "suited" molds or the "Paulson Chip" molds or the newer "denomination". But this helps a lot! thank you!
You didn't look very hard.....
