Exactly what I needed, thanks. Thinking of relabeling my ESSTs.

If you need a better close up lemme know

Just letting everyone know that these chips were produced with 6500ppm lead, just before the cut off when they switched over to 50ppm lead content winter 2006-2007, this run happened before that to prepare for 2007 event. Once you clean them they clack at higher frequency and weigh a good amount as opposed to recent used casino chips produced after 2007 with more composite like and muffed clack. Pre 1998 had 470,000 ppm(yummy). However the 25,000 k and 100,000 k were produced later and have current make up(don’t know what the current makeup is) or 50ppm in them as GPI stated they started using after winter 2006/2007.

I don't think this is accurate -- lead content was significantly reduced in material formulas for all chips except six colors long before 2006.

Got any documentation?

I was told, so nothing in words, However there is an official statement from the president at the time how much less was in their formulas, yes they lowered after lead amount 1998 and then again 2007. Google should lead you to presidents lead statement, when i find I’ll post link if you don’t. Gpi representative words lined up with the document and I don’t think he would need to tell him anything inaccurate.

Also, my post does say it was reduced, still leaded good amount then and reduced once more afterwards. Also, I am a firearms ballistic tester and machinist, we have lead testing and these chips have lead, not as much as pre 1998 chips but more than today’s chips. Hope this helps, thanks for your response.

Not looking for an argument, just accuracy.

GPI company correspondence I've read (and posted here on PCF) reflects that lead levels were gradually dropped starting in 1998 to essentially nil by 2005 for all chips except for six colors (Blurple, Day Green, Fuchsia, Indian Blue, Metallic Gold, and Metallic Silver). Royal Blue was never converted and was dropped from the lineup.

Neither here, is it the statement in regards to the lead amount change stated by the CEO/president where he states in 1998 they changed chips from 460,000 ppm to 6500 ppm, then in 2006-2007 from 6500 ppm to 50 ppm with chips being only 50ppm after early 2007-2008. The statement/correspondence details these amounts and dates. Also i wanted to see for myself and I have grinded and tested the black, green and purple chips since hearing about this so my q&a engineers told me lead was present, and these chips were produced late 2007-2008 around time they phased out the lead amount again around time caesars was changed to horseshoe .

Regardless of accuracy of either of our posts there is lead in them. Sam’s $1 from 80’s had quite a bit, bahamia and these Wsop had around the same but a lot less than Sam’s and recent chips had non to little to even show up on the ppm scale. Send the lead statement link you posted and I’ll let you know if it was the same, since Angel bought out GPI and now site is gone, archive may have been gone with it too but I’ll search when I have some time. Like you, I’m a guy that doesn’t always go off of what people say but I assure you, there is lead present in these, as for T1000’s and up I wasn’t willing to grind them so those I’m unsure but I assume as they were made same time but as you know, some colors got phased out quicker than others.

Some Pron, mission complete.
