I also need to make a $20 chip to fit the set. Only need 20. Those 2s would be great. Know where I can get a barrel?

The oak tree 100 is a great idea and an incredible looking chip. Great for the $20. While the $2 chip is nice its way out of my budget to make quarters.Maryland $2 for quarter, Oak Tree $100 for the $20 chip??

I mean you’re getting the Live chips in Maryland so why not get these at the same time?
Have you ever seen the oak tree 100s in used condition. Since I only need 20 the price is fine but since the charlie macs are pretty used it feels like having mint sharp chips with really used ones is as out of place as a different mold.Maryland $2 for quarter, Oak Tree $100 for the $20 chip??
The Oak Tree $100s are typically not mint. Not heavily used, but used enough to fit into a used set as the highest denom. I think they'd be fine, and you can always just shuffle a barrel down in a week or two to better match if it really bothered you enough.

Out of curiosity, does anybody have any real world experience about how long it takes to shuffle the edges off of Paulsons? I’ve always been curious about how quickly they actually wear.Exactly my thoughts. Use them as a shuffling stack while you are doing other things for a month, and they will fit in well.
Completely makes sense. I think ill be ok though because 80% of the chips will be the white 2v and the orange 8v which will mostly be in play at the same time. We play pretty small stakes so each starting stack would only have 3x 5s in it.Biggest problem with all-8V sets is that it's often tough to distinguish denoms in stacks (especially when chips have shared colors), and the resulting splashed pots are like playing with Skittles -- and nearly uncountable, especially at a distance. It's just too much of a good thing.
Some colors are just harder and more brittle, making them more prone to chipping. But it's mostly due to the awesomeness of lead that allows the older softer chips to slowly round over without getting unsightly edge nicks in the process.Why do the charlie macs that have semi rounded edges but have no chips peppered throughout? Heres a rack of chips casino tukwila. I would like to use these but even though they stand on edge they have too many chips. Is it a softer clay and are all these chips in this condition?
interestingly enough, you can no longer buy the $2 chips from the cage. When you go to the cage, they have hundreds of racks of chips on a back shelf.. There are easily between 20-30 racks of $2's there.I am headed to Live! this evening. I will try to cherry pick a barrel for you if you would like @Potsie1

Thank you for grabbing theminterestingly enough, you can no longer buy the $2 chips from the cage. When you go to the cage, they have hundreds of racks of chips on a back shelf.. There are easily between 20-30 racks of $2's there.
The problem is, the only game that uses a $2 chip is the 1/3 game (was 1/2, but that changed on 1/1). All limit games (even 6/12) use $1's now. $2/$5 and above have no need for them. So, since you cannot buy into a $1/$3 with racks of $2's, you can't buy them from the cage. I was told to either buy them from a table, or a chip runner. Found a chip runner, he looked confused, but gave me the chips. gave him one in return and walked out.
To this day, I still have no idea why the hell they use $2's in a 1/3 game when they are absolutely useless.
Makes sense. Its the same with glassware. Leaded glass(crystal) is softer and heavier and allows for deep cuts into the glass. Regular glass with no lead is too brittle for deep cuts.Some colors are just harder and more brittle, making them more prone to chipping. But it's mostly due to the awesomeness of lead that allows the older softer chips to slowly round over without getting unsightly edge nicks in the process.
