Please don't do this. I've done it so you don't have to. The "ceramics" were much harder to break in half than the Paulson. The Paulson inlay is printed on Plastic. Some older chips I had (California Bell Club) were made with a paper inlay, and this swelled and was damaged when the chips were (poorly) cleaned. Those inlays were peeling up on their own, just waiting for a fingernail.
First, a Paulson sample chip (Moss Green).
Map-gas torch to the inlay

Snapped in half
Next, a fugly Chipco from the SunCruz Casino

Finally, Nevada Jack's American Beauties
