Can I put stickers over Paulson hot-stamped inlays? (5 Viewers)

[Hokuto789]

I'm thinking about getting some new Paulson chips with hot-stamped inlays.
The original denomination is $1, but my plan is to put separate stickers over the inlays to treat them as 5,000 chips.

Is this a good approach?

Putting labels over hot stamps is not a good idea, they will probably shine through. @Gear goes as far as not producing labels if they‘re knowingly for non-milled hotstamp chips. I would just ask them for what would be the best approach, Andrea is very friendly and helpful!

When you eventually remove the sticker it will peel off a layer of the hotstamp.

Thank you all for the great advice and detailed explanations! Fortunately, I haven't purchased the chips yet, so you saved me from wasting money and ruining good chips.

Thanks to your input, I now know what my next steps should be. I am considering two options and would love to hear which one you think is better:

Option 1: Buy the Paulson chips, get them milled as advised, and apply custom labels.

Option 2: Order a completely new set of custom chips from CPC (although I've heard they might not be accepting orders right now).

When weighing these options, please keep in mind that I already own over 1,000 Paulson chips in total. Considering that, which route would you recommend?
(I plan to use these new 5,000 chips together with my existing Paulson set in the same game.)

Thanks again for your help!

Yes, but ill advised. Here is a close up of some horse heads I got a few years ago.

Why not both?

Thank you for showing me the picture. It helps a lot!

I wonder if this is a hot stamp too?
There certainly are some raised areas.

CPC might take a while. It is up to you what you want to do with your set. I‘d probably take the mill route.

Love me some Horse Heads with the top hat and canes. Super rare.
