<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1974154, member: 23368"]There are no cracks because a cracked or broken chip has no value to a serious collector. There are cases where a drilled hole, similar to what is seen on a coin, is present. This was a practice used to void chips and to take them out of circulation. The inside of the hole would need to be addressed based on what you said. Another method to void unwanted casino chips was to notch the chip's rim. Similarly, these too would require attention if kept in the wrong flips. Although cleaning is an acceptable process for chips, I have not heard of anyone resealing them. Usually a light coat of baby oil or something similar, is applied to prevent the chip from drying out and bringing back the sheen. Excess oil is removed by patting it dry with a soft cloth. It helps enhance the colors as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
