I want to put together a mixed Paulson casino set for a .25/.50 game. I can find the quarters, ones, and fives, but I'd like to have $20's in this set instead of $25's. And knowing the stakes I usually play, I wouldn't need more than a barrel or two. But I don't think I've ever seen any for sale. Are they out there at all (aside from paying $20/ea at a casino?)
Any options for a $20 Paulson for mixed set? (1 Viewer)

Outpost casino has $20 too.
PNY has a $20.
The PNY and Garden City both have oversized inlays, which just aren't for me. But the Outpost chip looks perfect, albeit white. That's fine though, plenty of blue ones out there.
Keep them coming, folks, I appreciate it.

Well I guess I probably can't live without those.

PNY has a $20.
Palais des Congres has a killer $20.
Unfortunately, they're priced accordingly.

Thanks for posting this. I was going to start this exact thread as I'm on a similar search.
I've also heard the Dunes are nearly impossible to find. In fact, I would imagine many of these are difficult to obtain.
I'm leaning towards finding 1-2 barrels of a yellow chip with nice spots that I can relabel as a $20.

Are plaques an option?
I've thought about plaques. Too bad I wasn't around for the $20 bill plaque group buy, because I think those would be an excellent solution. They're very expensive, but like I said, I don't need too many - I could buy only 10 - 20 of them and they'd still probably never all end up on the table in one night. The problem is, I don't see any attractive alternatives. I won't go with the dice plaques, and there just aren't many other options.

Dunes Baccarat $20 are extremely easy to find... Spinettis.
Plaques are a kickass option too... like 5 bucks a piece, minimum order around 10. Oldwestpokersupplies. You'll need custom artwork though... several designers here who would be willing to solve that problem though.

One word: Inlay replacements.
...Ok, that's two words, but since I've already used more words than I first promised, I'll need a third and fourth word too: Gear Labels.
Find a mint Paulson you like and have @Gear make you some inlays.
When I needed a $5000 for my Empress tourney set, I went from this:
To this:
They are shaped, match perfectly, and even have a textured finish. Waaaay cheaper than plaques, too. Problem solved. Gear is the nuts.

It would easy to have one of the designers make a plaque any classic casino design. And cheaper too

So when would you do an inlay replacement vs. a relabel? I'm assuming inlay replacement involves removing the existing inlay (= lot of work). Isn't a label over an existing inlay easier? Is it a quality thing?
We'll do another group buy by year end. Those $20 MSKs were a huge hit. Others will be interested too.

Yes, it does involve removing the inlay, but Gear will do that for you too. Obviously, it increases the cost and I'm not sure he'd do it for hundreds of chips, but for a few stacks to a rack, I'm sure he'd do it. For me, it was a quality thing: replaced inlays look better to me than labels. But labels will also work.
Hell, he can also mill out a shaped inlay on a hotstamped chip. This is huge: find a Paulson hotstamp you like and he can create an inlay recess.
I bought some $20 plaques. The ones that look like currency. I bought them cause I thought they were pretty awesome, but I don't have a set for them. I'll try to post pictures if I can find them. ThEyre packed away somewhere. I think I have 20 of them but they were way more than $5/piece. I think close to face value haha

Back to the OP, I was also going to suggest a relabel of a nice yellow chip like the casino de Mexico $1, went to Apache to grab a quick photo, and look what I found... That set has its own $20.
Interesting. And weird that I actually have a casino de Mexico $20 in my pocket right now, for no apparent reason.
Not that there are a ton of casino de mexicos floating around either, but good to keep in mind.

Two different $20s, actually. Shaped scallop, and giant inlay.
Also Horseshoe Casino $20s, same chips as Casino de Mexico, different label.

I like the Gear label route... did it myself for some $20 Casino Aztars. Three barrels of Eureka quarters with no edge spots in the RHC mold. They look sharp in the set (y) :thumbsup:

Are the quarters Gear labels too?

Yes they are. Also had some T5000, T10k, and T25k labels made for the Aztar tourney set. Gear does a great job color matching too (assuming he has the chip to match, or in my case, I sent him sample chips to match).
I went with the Dunes oversized $20.Oversized Dunes Baccarat
Thanks Shaggy. Once I saw that chip, I knew there was no other option.
