I'm still trying to find this out. Your input is a piece of the puzzle!

The CPC "speed bump" - a bit out of hand these days (3 Viewers)

Same with @Chippy McChiperson I have customs on the FDL mold and the B mold. I've added onto the FDL mold three times. I have never experienced this problem either.

This appears to be a lathing issue.....is only on smaller daimeter CPCs i.e. diamond square. Is the hour glass mold a smaller diameter mold? Maybe the lathe is set at a certain diameter and is just not getting close enough to get the ridge out of smaller molds.

Another oddity is that this can vary so much even within molds. We've seen scrowns come out in the past couple of months that appear, based on the pictures, to have none of this. And other scrowns where it's in every denom.
1) I like split/smeared edgespots. Reminds me of the endpapers in old books.
2) Some of said speedbumps appear to be “innies,” and some appear to be “outies,” for lack of any better terminology. Or you could call them bulges vs. grooves.
Maybe that gives a clue as to the cause, that both type of flaw can occur?

A very small percentage of my cpc’s have this issue, but it doesn’t bother me at all.
Forget better terminology. Innies and outies wins.
Are you going to try grinding this down yourself?
I have CPC sets...can't check my chips... they're in storage at the moment, but I don't recall seeing this issue

I believe I've only seen this becoming a bigger issue after the second half of 2018. When were your sets produced?

I might have missed it but has anybody reached out to David @CPC yet?

I never quite figured out how, but I always assumed the lathing had to be done on a machine, spinning a chip/barrel. If they were done against a grinding wheel, for example, I'd expect flat spots.
So perhaps it's just a matter if setting the diameter for the lathe/grind too wide (or, as has been suggested, the mold is smaller).

It's funny, the other day I was going to post a thread with the exact opposite reaction, just never got around to it. I got a large set of ~1800 HHRs back in February with some fairly complex colors and spot patterns. There is 1 error chip in the whole lot (spot swap). One. Uno. Considering the order, I was blown away by the level of QC for a hand made product like this.
I went back and checked my chips this evening, I have maybe one or two chips with a slight bulge, but nothing I was consider a defect. I also have HG molds that were pressed in late 2016 and scrolls from 2015, I couldn't find any issues in those sets either.

So a picture from my set was used as an example, and I hadn’t even noticed, lol. I took a look back through and found a few more. I’ll say this though - even with the chips that have this issue, the extras they sent me still outnumber all the error chips probably 3 to 1
That's a very good point. CPC always go above and beyond with extras

If that is the case, where “typical” chips that are sent as extras outnumber the atypical “bulgers”, then this becomes a non-issue for me. I personally would not want to have to use one of the atypical ridged chips in my set. So maybe the people who posted pics with the ridged chips have extras to replace them, but didn’t notice the ridges or didn’t care.

That wasn't the experience I had. I had so many of these in my add on that I have no choice to have them in play. The last set posted in pr0n had so many per denom in a random pic that there couldn't possibly be enough in the extras to replace them. Hence part of the reason why I started this thread to begin with.
These would have been before that

I hope you are referring to the Cutthroats. I hope my set is the only one that bad.
Honestly I have been walking around with a barrel of the 500s(blurple) on me everywhere for the past week and now after close inspection 4 of the twenty have the bulge.
The pics of the 5, 25 and 1000 show a whole lot more.

Has anyone contacted David & CPC directly about the issue with your chips?
Discussion is fine but not informing the vendor immediately about a problem doesn't give them the chance to correct things.
If after a vendor has been informed of the problem and then don't try and fix it then by all means bring out the pitchforks (ie Mod$#%*
)

I don't know that it is pointless. A big part of the conversation revolves around whether this is an issue or not. Through 3 pages of the thread so far it actually appears that half the members think it's a dealbreaker while the other half don't notice or in any case don't care.

If it's an issue for you, as a customer, then by all means you should reach out and express it to the vendor. I can understand you want to get community input to see if your complaint is valid I guess? But the feelings of others don't really matter in this case. It's your money and your purchase, and you seem unhappy with the defect so approach the vendor and give them an opportunity to address your concern.
If this (quoted from the first line of your very first post) is your actual goal:
Nothing wrong with discussion, but until the actual manufacturer chimes in, it's all nothing but conjecture.... and beating around the bush to get an accurate answer to the question.
...then anything besides contacting CPC is pointless.

One of the rare times I agree with @BGinGA. He's dead on.
