Heads-up: Cosmetic only: light molding flash and a few dust specks. Older production lot. — called out so there are no surprises.

Functional: Unused and never soldered. Not electrically tested: sold as new old stock, exactly as it came out of the distributor tube. Photos show 5 chips as representative; you receive 15 chips, all from the same lot (5041G).

Cosmetic: Crisp factory markings and bright leads. Copper-colored trim edges show at the lead shoulders (normal factory finish), the package seams carry light molding flash, and a couple of chips have small dust specks on top. All visible in the photos.
