Original Paulson Chips Made for the President Casino New Yorker:

The chips were manufactured on the MD-76b Hat & Cane mold (Reverse Hat & Cane) with giant inlays with the exception of the $1,000s, which were on the 43mm MD-76c oversized mold with giant inlays.

The chips include several Paulson / GPI anti-counterfeiting measures uses. These include ultraviolet markings, alpha dot (which with a 30x magnifier reads nine lines of the Paulson name), and metal security flakes in denominations $25 and up.

Updated OP with corrected colors and edge spots - big thanks to @ovo and @BGinGA Also added a couple of additional photos of the alpha security dot, courtesy of my son's microscope. (y) :thumbsup:

Note that while I've done a ton of research on these, I wasn't on the boards when the chips surfaced and don't claim to be an expert - I built these reference threads to be a work in progress - so if you have additional information or see something you think should be corrected, please feel free to comment or shoot me a PM, you won't hurt my feelings Also note for the colors of the original chips, we don't have the original order sheet so they are my best guesses (done with a little research & input from others). So if you have a full color sample set and confirm a different color shoot me a PM with a picture.

Great addition. I was contemplating borrowing to do the same!

Hello, maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, but can someone explain why there is a "primary" and "secondary" of the same denominations? Why wouldn't they have just made all the same color and spot patterns?

 

[Jeff]

Casinos have a different secondary set of chips in reserve if the primary set is compromised (forgery, theft, etc). They need to be different because of this purpose.

 

[n0m1n4l]

OK, thanks for that information. That is quite interesting that casinos would be willing to invest that much money into a duplicate set of $25's, I guess I understand the $500 or $1000. Lots of sunk cost, and lots of chips to sit in a vault corner, especially if the casino plans to use only the primaries until they get compromised.

I wonder if that is still the case with newer casinos today, with say MGM National Harbor casino?

Yep, check out these 3 threads:

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/pny-part-2-president-casino-new-yorker-casino-chips.19266/
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...-new-yorker-supplemental-chips-add-ons.19267/

- all of the information from that CT thread has been recreated here.

But..... if you're really hard up to explore the old blue wall CT thread, I did a web archive of that thread:

Bought a new scanner last year, just getting around to updating the pics in the OP. The colors are much more representative of the actual chips now. I also updated the supplementals in Part 3 (and the scans in the chip DB)

@Irish thank you for your work! I have fallen head over heels for these chips. Your history and work adds to the great appreciation and love for them.
