Glws. If someone wins this I'd be interested in the grey 100's and 25's

Love the set that hundo 25 is so awsome

But how come a casino have identical chips of different value? Sounds like a nightmare for a casino. Or is it a fantasy set?

Still love the grey chip whatever it is.

 

[JFCJ]

Correction to chip count. My bad.

 

[TheBigTater]

I must re-evaluate, this chip count change could impact my initial bid in a BIG way....

It's a home market / fantasy set or the chips were just never used.

Interested in one pink $500 and one yellow $1000 to complete my sample set... to whomever buys this. @chipjoker which singles are you looking for?

Would you be interested in selling me a total of 20x of the 25's/100's if you win this?

Unsure, there are only 31 of the 25's&100's in the lot. I'll have to think about it.

These are awesome looking chips! How hard is it to make a nice playable set?

It is my understanding that the shaped-inlay chips were ordered but never delivered, and were subsequently sold in the Las Vegas Paulson store. Paulson also later produced additional Horseshoe Casino chips for sale in their store with round inlays and in other denominations.

More importantly for us chip geeks, the awesome chip colors / spot patterns / color combos used for the Horseshoe Casino chips were also later used to create chips in different Paulson home-market fantasy sets -- Le Cove, Casino de Mexico, Foxy's Firehouse, the $1000 chips in the Casino de Isthmus and Fabulous Las Vegas sets, and in many, many other fantasy sets.

Nearly all of the older Paulson home sets have a color/spot heritage link back to the Horseshoe Casino chips. That historical significance should be worth an extra $100 or so at auction, JFCJ.

thanks BG!

These speak to me

Harder than it used to be. I've been building a set of these and the Casino De Mexico's (same colors scheme but used on different denoms) for many years. The shaped inlays are the hardest to come buy as like BG said, they were part of an original order that wasn't delivered to the casino. There were a lot of the round inlay chips made later by Paulson for sale in their store.
