Yah you’d be surprised how well hot water takes off some inlays with nothing else
I’ve done a bunch just hot as I can get tap water that wouldn’t just pull up
$2 leaded TRK’s?

Water buddy. Water. In retrospect I’d say easier than any other paper label and NO NPR involved
Well well...
I am all ears! What exactly did you use to soak em in?
You planning removing 18k inlays?
If I knew I could remove the labels reasonably easily I could save you the trouble by taking a few off your hands. To me those chips are very "ho hum" & I can easily pass if I know I can't get the labels off easily. If, however, I know I can get them off reasonably easily they are a lot more attractive. Lots of customs ideas could become a reality with those!
And p.s. no damage to the inlay recess edges.
Those look like real dirty bitch’s of a chip!!I don't think I read this whole thread until just now. Anyway one thing that came up that I can attest to: TRK's are tough bitches to murder. This question was raised:
I can not attest to murdering BCC chips as I have never done that, but I have murdered about 35k Paulson THC's and RHC's not and probably around 1000 or so of those have been older Paper THC's and exactly 1 TRK scrown chip and it was a total nighmare. If you think you are going to murder these, think again. You are extremely unlikely to be successful with this. I didn't even bother to time it, but I can assure that unless someone comes up with some solvent that dissolves the adhesive without turning the paper into a big mess of sticky goop they are pretty much a "No Go" on the murder scale. As a rough estimate, I would say they are going to take at least 5x the amount of time as a normal RHC or newer THC type of chip like any of the nagb chips. I don't feel one bit of remorse for murdering it for many reasons, but among them is that it was pretty poor condition anyway. Each pic was taken after soaking in 70% isopropyl alcohol for a minimum of 10 minutes and probably at least 30 seconds to 1 minute worth of scraping. I never want to do another. Here are a few pics of how it went:
I got a few of these with a simple soak in a toxic agent with the chemical sign of h2o. Rubbed the paper down to just the smooth surface of the glue that remained. No time at all. I didn’t feel the need to get all the way to the clay, just to the surface that the label would adhere to completely as your not gonna see it anyway.
Hope that helps. I tried paper and linen inlays with chemicals and a friend told me I was wasting my time and only harming the chip, I doubted till I tried. These were easier than most and some were harder for sure.
Label by gear with a different target chip used so the label is a tad small but adheres to the chip awesomely.
Now realize I went quick. If you soaked in warm water longer it does break the glue down further.

I’m digging the purple/lavender spots on the $25s.
I got it. And you’re a friend!
Nope, not at all. I'm probably being overly defensive, but if the whole $2-$3/chip idea didn't stem from my post in the Wheeler Assembly thread about pricing, then I don't know where it came from. It just snowballed from my post, in which I was trying sincerely to be helpful, but perhaps wasn't particularly clear about the context I was addressing. If anyone started that thread at the bottom and wondered where that price point had come from, they'd perhaps scroll up to the beginning, see my post was the first to mention it, and (wrongly) assume things about what I was saying. And trying to correct that later on in such a thread is just shouting in the wind.
And I agree. When selling 18000 chips you have to settle in to sell the lot. I realize not everyone can float that kind of buy. I’ve never been a price gouger. And won’t be. But market is market on leaded 10-12 TRK’s. And all the discussion of selling would assume that they were for sale also. Maybe a small portion of them.
It’s hard not to sound a bit bitter when typing but lately a lot of chippers feel a finder owes the “community” chips and then come at ya with oh I’d never pay $x.xx a chip knowing what you paid for them. It’s also hard not to swing the hammer to that kind of person but hey, my names not Tommy.
