May or may not be completely finished.CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS or STANDARDS are unnatural changes in chips and tokens as a result of othercauses. Specimens in this “Condition” category may be graded in any of the five “Grading Descriptions.” Acancelled, damaged or defective chip or token can be graded in any category from “NEW” to “POOR.”However, a dirty, cracked or faded chip cannot be graded as NEW, even if it has not been played in a casino.It is not in the original grade as when it was made. <strong>The</strong> “Condition” category consists of the following termsthat should be used as qualifiers to further accurately describe the five grades: (Examples: New/Clipped;Average/Warped)1. CANCELLED or MODIFIED (Either by the manufacturer or the casino)A. Drilled C. Overstamped E. Bent G. PlatedB. Notched D. Clipped F. Painted2. DAMAGEA. Severe nicks or chunksB. Loose or missing inlayC. CrackedD. BrokenE. WarpedF. Permanent stainG. Severe fadingH. Cigarette burn(s), fire damageI. Over-cleaningJ. Severe scratching or gougingK. Shaved edge (example: to fit in a bezel)L. Water damageM. Burial damageN. Clouding of sterling silver tokens, a symptom of PVC exposureO. CorrosionP. Anodized for different colorsQ. PlatedR. Obliteration of details3. MANUFACTURER DEFECTS OR MODIFICATIONSA. Inlay or die strike off-center (slight, moderate, extreme)B. Some of the script or photo is missing from the inlayC. Some of the hot-stamp is missingD. Manufacturer modification (example: one side of chip includesmanufacturer’s advertising information, even though the other side uses theactual casino chip design)E. Ivory chips only - nerve holes (small, moderate, or extreme, as a “seethrough”)F. Foreign material struck into tokens<strong>Casino</strong> <strong>Chip</strong> & <strong>Gaming</strong> Token <strong>Collectors</strong> <strong>Club</strong> • Auction 2012 • Page 5


4. MANUFACTURER ERRORS5. PROOF or PROOF-LIKEA. Incorrect inlay or graphic (example: Inlay or graphic is supposed to bedifferent on each side of chip, but it is the same; mismatched dies used fortokens)B. Wrong moldC. Double-strike (token) or of hot-stamp (chip)D. Mistake in color or number of edge insertsE. Strikes on metals other than standard (tokens)F. Railroad edge strikesG. Planchet clips (tokens)H. Strikes on wrong size planchets (tokens)For tokens, pieces produced on highly polished planchets and double-struck toproduce an exceptional image on a mirror-like surface.6. CLEANLINESS (or the lack thereof, resulting in a soiled chip or token)This may not be a permanent condition. To clean or not to clean is the choice of the owner.While cleaning chips is a commonly accepted practice for aesthetic or hygienic purposes, itdoes not improve the grade but may damage the chip and diminish its value and grade. Onthe other side, non-cleaning should have no effect on the grade unless the specimen is sodirty that grading is not possible. In a situation involving a permanent stain that cannot heeasily removed, the chip or token will fall into the “Damaged” category. Some collectorstake the position that chips and tokens should remain in their ‘natural state” and should notbe cleaned.How to Bid in the AuctionThank you for your interest in our CC&GTCC Auction 2012 sale.
