shift in blog location

I gots too many blogs started....
And they're all useless.

So, to be disciplined and to give the thing some visual punch, I'm shifting over to Wordpress.
try me at http://66point7mm.wordpress.com/
Looks cleaner.
Hopefully I can be more centralized and less scatterbrained about it.

Outpost Casino, Pacheco and San Ramon, CA - 50 cents -$2

The Pacheco fifty cent chip, with grey edgespot that almost matches the $2 chip spots.
The fifties still have the finger goo on them... yuck.
Note the punched inlay on the $2. my favorite 'points' shape.



Note that the green is not a match with the newer San Ramon chips. They are darker green in the older version. Maybe that's due to hand oils, but who knows? I don't have a Paulson color chip sample set, so I can't call out the color names yet.

Outpost Casino, San Ramon, CA - 50 cents -$2

The fifties are short cane versions. (Less spinners from this mold due to a deeper recess in the center inlay area.
I learned something new this week.

Outpost Casino, San Ramon, CA - $2-$20

thank you cpiaaq.
Some long cane versions for consumption.


My only beef with this inlay design is that the denominations are outlines rather than filled solid numbers. I think it would have punched up the level of detail for the better.

Reviving this dead beast

blogger killed off the template I was using before. Pity, looked nice.

Picked this one because of the nice 'lime green' color.


I will post some of those starburst scans you all come here to see.
(lol)

November: Reverted back to original theme template. Okey dokey again.
