Caesars Palace 1s (1 Viewer)

[heisman]

2 months in and I'm trying to build out a new set of Caesars Palace. Unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately) a lot of these are still live, so it's tough getting some of these at cost, especially the higher denoms. Luckily, I was able to score an almost complete rack of these (91) mint large textured inlay Caesars 1s. Supposedly, the couple that sold them to me bought a completely new rack from Caesars several years back and haven't been opened since. These are now apparently obsolete (according to chipguide). May not be much, but I'm pretty stoked about them. Pr0n pics in all their glory and holiness; still chalky and fresh out of the box--oiled pr0n pics to come:

Wow nice job finding a bunch with the large inlays and in mint condition. Great little score.

Thanks man! Still got a ways to go, but happy to have gotten lucky with this grab!

Very pretty chips. The look and texture is a bit different from the Paulson chips I have seen. Are these made by Paulson or another company?

They’re Paulsons but they’re on a house mold specific to Caesars instead of the traditional top hat and cane (THC) mold. Textured inlays are a little rarer to come by since I believe they’ve stopped manufacturing them, you’ll typically find Casino chips with glossy/non-textured inlays nowadays

Pair these with Caesers's $2 chips and I don't think there is a nice $1/$2 combination.
Nicely done.

IF you want large inlay then this is a fantastic score, especially given the condition. When I was harvesting there last summer there were still some large inlay chips floating around but rare to see. I had about 3 racks and each rack would have about 2-4 large inlay chips in it and the rest are all small inlay.

Small sample size but using that as s test we could estimate there is only about 5% of chips in circulation that are large inlay.

IMO the Caesars 1s are the best live 1 in Vegas right now. When I go back they are on the top of my list to harvest along with the oversize Baccarat 5s.

100% agreed! I do like the mix n match look though and it looks like they are standardizing towards the small inlay chips now, so I'm glad I was able to pick these up! Getting the 39mm sized 5s and 25s are next on my list, but I'm still working on getting out there to harvest myself.
