I'm generally not a fan of
CIC chips because of how they feel/handle. The edges on them are too rough & the plastic too hard...they just don't feel "right" to me. The only reason I bought these chips is because my wife likes coins, and when she saw the row of my
CIC chips in my collection binder she took her time oogling them and said she like them.
Well...sheeeee-it. That turned out to be a relatively expensive binder page of otherwise inexpensive $1 chips. A couple emails and a few bills later, and here we are.
I have to say, I'm glad I bought them. Goodness knows I don't "need" another chip set, but these chips look AMAZING in person. I'm really glad I went with the brick $5's (thanks,
@Jackstraw, for the pr0n of them to open my eyes!), and the green/yellow $25's - a color combo that I'm not usually a fan of - really look bright and vibrant. In fact, pictures don't generally do these chips justice. Even the ones that look nice...well, the chips are just so much better when you see them in person.
Thanks to
@TheChipVault for making this a great transaction - quick responses to email, lightning-fast shipping, and some of the best packaging I've ever received chips in!
And now, the hasty pics...
