Nevada Club/Lodge $1’s. A 50 + year old TRK SmallCrown chip. The rack on the right in the first picture is typical of one of 2 conditions of these chips. Either almost stand on edge or bike tire. There are certain rare appearances of more “minty” chips but not typical for sure. Edging beautifully restores these chips to a rich blue edge. Bike tires usually see 1/2 to 1mm reduction along the outside edge which is normal and if used in games with mint chips noticeable but the difference is negligible.

Fremont Casino Las Vegas. Leaded THC, Red/White/312
Coin in center.

These came to me in near black condition, extreme bike tires. At the price they were a candidate for the development of the edging system and cleaning mixtures and methods. After all the testing, beating and chemicals I brought em back out for a final spa treatment so they could shine and maybe find a new home. I’ll have them reasonably priced in a sale ad soon!
Like an idiot I didn’t take before pics! Ugh

You did amazing edge-work on my Lake Elsinore's and these still blow me away. Wizard

Still can't believe the chips on the left in the top image are the same chips in the bottom one:
