If you picked up bidznesman's ebay auctions this week for those chips, consider yourself lucky. Those are the original Nevada mold NJ clays.

I posted a link to that auction somewhere here on chiptalk this week and got a warning for inappropriate posting......

I own a cash set of NJ clays, put together over the last 18 mths or so and it includes the fractionals that are no longer being produced. Recently I picked up a bunch more off eBay, but they looked different than the ones I own. The white 25c chip isn't white - more an ivory - and it has brass flakes. The grey 50c chip matches in color, but also has the flakes. They're also just a slight bit thicker. Also, the inlay on the ones I have is a little smaller, and the image is not as sharp as those I just picked up.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about these. I've done some online research, searched chiptalk and asked the eBay seller, but haven't been able to find anything out. Any info would be appreciated.

Oh, and before I get grilled for not including a picture or scan, I tried, but can't get the detail I'm talking about in my post to show up well enough to include.
