Wanted Aruba Palm Beach $5 chips - 1 rack (1 Viewer)

[bentax1978]

Looking for one additional rack of Aruba Palm Beach $5 chips to round out my set so I can call the set "complete" after almost a decade of putting it together.

Possible alternatives to finish the set include another rack of $25 chips, or possibly creating a rack of solid $0.05 chips. That said, a rack of $5 chips would give the set the most useful final breakdown.

Thanks!

Including what I have in the works right now (in terms of milling and replacing inlays on the $0.25, $1, and $500 chips), I'll be at 1900 total.

My chip-OCD won't let me stop at 1900, so that's why I "need" to find one more rack.

One chip at a time?

Probably going to pass on going on that route

What’s the breakdown?

What’s the breakdown?

Below is the current 1900 chip breakdown once all my Gear milling is complete. In "( )" is what I actually have . So I guess I really only need 70 x $5 chips.


200 x $0.25 (200)
300 x $1 (300)
800 x $5 (830)
300 x $25 (300)
200 x $100 (175 primary/40 secondary)
100 x $500 (135)

So what you really need is 100 more 1s, 170 more 5s, and 100 more 25s

That would work, but it would also leave me with 2300 total chips, which would then just force me to start a WTB ad pleading my case for another rack in order to hit a more round number like 2400 chips. It's a terribly viscous cycle.

 

[Burke]

do you need 100 $500s?

No, and for a while I considered going with 160 x $100 (primary) and 40 x $500 and call it complete at 1800 total chips.

Only time I might possibly use a rack of $500 chips is if we were playing a blackjack tournament with the kids or something. Well, that or if I ever drove down to play with @kk405 and he wanted to use the Arubas

Anyone have an opinion on which $500 looks better? I’m still torn.
