All-Time Favorite Chip (1 Viewer)

[Nev]

Sure its a cliche question - What is your all-time favorite chip design?

But as someone new who is trying to get into the hobby, I want to hear some of the favorites of PCF members. All answers are welcome and thanks in advance.

BOOM, beautiful. Not the most valuable or historic, but its my favorite ever. Love the colors and design, over the moon.

Photos don’t do these chips justice, they POP in person.

Green chip best?

I love this chip for the history and how it was involved in the events at the MGM after the bite night fight, but from a design perspective, this checks many of the design boxes I appreciate. Clear, bold inlay. The color matching helps this a bunch (all the chips from the MGM as part of this issue color match the lion to the base color of the chip). Clean, uncluttered spots are also a big plus in my book.


[EDIT - I had mis-read the OP and thought it was a favorite chip thread and not favorite chip design thread, so I had originally posted the old California Club $5 on the hub mold I have.]

I remember watching the bite fight. Dads friend had ppv. People forget that after the bite they resumed fighting and Mike tried to bite him again. Lol.


But what role did that chip have afterwards.

From archive.org crawl of a LV Review Journal article the next day:

[EDIT - short version, people thought they heard gunshots, panic ensued, tables were turned and chips swiped off the tables. Gaming was shut down and secondary chips (still in use) were brought out for the hundreds. This is mentioned in Bringing Down the House, when one of the MIT blackjack team comes downstairs for their "shift" early in the morning to find only slot machines were running. When all was said and done, there were 19 of these that weren't accounted for when the remainder were sent the chip shredders.]

Mostly because It was my favorite place and its gone now, but I have always loved O'sheas $5.

It's like the roasted bone marrow of poker chips. The trike with ground effects of poker chips.

Y’all know what it is!

Hard to decide on an absolute favorite. However, this one is definitely towards the top of my list.

My bad. I also misread. My favorite custom chip would have to be the moonlight $5
