First post? nice. Welcome to the forum.
I would suggest getting a CPC sample set. Different monitors will display colors differently. The only real way to see the actual colors is to get a sample set in your hands.

Hi all!
I am joining this thread with interest in a 300-500 piece micro cash set with quarters.
In terms of themes, "Anarchy Club" is a little too close to my definition of an oxymoron to be able to pull the trigger on a set. I am happy with the generic stylized "A" theme suggested by @BGinGA or maybe in a pinch just the word "Anarchy" but I for sure can't commit to "Anarchy Club".
Highly generic theme brainstorming:
Alabaster Club
Arrowhead Highway LV Nevada
Albatross Room
Crown and Anchor
Amethyst Creek Poker
Aces & Eights Saloon

I just feel like hotstamps are kind of a classy look (simple timeless kind of feel) and Anarchy Club/Room/whatever doesn't really go. A full inlay with a nice design I think would work really well but I don't really like the idea specifically for a hotstamp. Arcadia Room/Lounge is still my favorite at this point. Sounds like a classy joint.
Using actual chip color samples is the only way to effectively evaluate colors. Pictures and screen renditions are not accurate.
Stylized "A" image on obverse, denomination on reverse (25c, $1, $5, $20, $100). Silver foil. No text.
Can add a sixth color with "A" image on both sides for use at owner's discretion.
I do not think this much detail will work for hotstamps. Too much detail gets lost and tends to look like a mistake.Anyone interested in ART DECO? With some design like this? I'm no graphic designer but maybe someone could implement such design if people would be interested? I like this retro look.

Does anyone have actual CPC samples they can share pictures of in different lighting? Especially dayglo tiger, Saturn, etc.

Even with proper lighting the colors will show up differently on your monitor. Highly recommend getting a sample set that you can view in person. This is really the only way you can be 100% certain about what the colors look like.

That's why I'm starting to think that just an "A" on one side and the denom on the other is the way to go. As previously stated that could apply for Arcadia, Aces, Anarchy, ect.....Now I think the "A" would have to be done right. Wouldn't have to be one of the ones I posted either. That was just to try and help to get the discussion started.
I agree. Something like this wouldn't work as a hotstamp.
Not really interested in
@BGinGA and @ChaosRock could I get numbers for a set that you might be interested in if everything works out.
Thanks,

One other thing to consider is set up cost and the cost of one more die if you are doing a different stamp on each side. Something to discuss with CPC.
Here's 2 quick mock-ups... Didn't spend a whole lot of time doing those and the fonts are just place holders... Used the font with a similar A as the "A Mold".
In regards to the quantity I could be ordering, it ranges from 0 to 800 depending on the design and colors. The color of the quarter might impact if I go quarter-less but not if I order the set or not... Not a whole lot of options for quarter colors imo...

I really like just the "A" and the denomination. Thoughts on making the denom smaller, and putting a smaller stylized A on the same side as the denom?
For guys that don't like "Anarchy", would just the "A" work for you?
If retro lavender was the quarter I probably wouldn't get any either.
Solid design. Ship/water stuff doesn't interest me much.
I believe @Irish has color samples that he will lend out if you cover the shipping costs both ways? I'm not positive. Maybe PM him?
I have been hesitant to comment on these chips because I'm not buying them but I really do like them! I think custom hot stamp dies are really cool, and to me they are way cooler when they include the denominations on both sides of the chip. That, to me, is what really makes them custom. That being said if you do design an "A" stamp for one side, maybe this could be an option to all who purchase these. If I was buying them I would want the denomination stamp on both sides. Some may not want it on either. Maybe you could do an "A" stamp as just one more option offered. In fact if I were buying I think I would make my frac "A" on both sides as a non-denom and then do my $1, $5 etc with denoms on both sides. Also, I would want the A in Anarchy club to match the cool "A" hotstamp. Anyway, cool project!

Mike,
Whether your buying or not. I value your input. I am going to disagree about having the denominations on both sides of the chip. I think it has more of a custom feel to it if the denoms are only on one side. Every other chip out there that isn't custom (and most customs) have denoms on both sides. Just my thoughts on this. You, Paulo, ect....are much more creative with this shit than I am.
Yup, I've got the full mold samples as well (shipping on just the colors would obviously be cheaper)
I know where both of you guys are coming from... I'm actually in between your preferences/views...
I believe the reason why many "one side only" denoms are really common in hot stamp chips is the casino/cardroom only needs one custom die, for the non-denom side... The denom side is done with stock die and imo, it really gives the chips a non-custom feel... I'm not a fan of this practice although I have a set of HS Ramada that follows this pattern and I like the set very much...
On the other spectrum, If one has denoms on both sides, it's very, very hard to insert any image/logo on the design... In most cases what happens is the inclusion of only the casino/cardroom name and the denoms... I don't mind that at all and some of my favorite HS sets follow this pattern... The issue with that is that it limits the customization of the set...
Soooooo... Because of the above, my preferred design for customs is to have a combination of both worlds... One side with a logo/image (with or without the casino/cardroom name) and the other with the denom WITH the casino/cardroom name to utilize customization to the fullest...
One example of that is Club Courage HS, another one is the custom set I just got made
(Pr0n once I finish oiling them and have time for pics).I know it seems I'm in the minority but I would prefer the name together with the denom in one side and the logo/image on the other for this project...
Apologies for the long-winded comment...

can you do a mockup using a red foil hotstamp instead of silver?

I'd love to see them in person (just the colors we're considering).
If anyone else wants to see them, maybe we could start a chain and pass them around. We'd only have to pay the postage for the number of people who want to see them, +1 to return, instead of twice per person.

Would anyone be interested in The Aristocrat Lounge/Club chips? Maybe someone could create a mock up?
It is an interesting idea
