Golden Nugget $2 Label Removal (1 Viewer)

Does anyone here have direct experience removing the label from GN $2 house mold chips? I'm having GEAR print replacement labels and wonder if I should also contract out the label removal. How challenging is it with these chips? Thanks.

Gesr does it in house and they will probably make the labels to fit better.

I did 120 of these. They’re newer inlays, not terribly difficult to remove, but certainly time-consuming. The labels themselves aren’t hard to get centered correctly, but again, somewhat time consuming. Maybe 2 hours total time invested for everything.

It’s a time vs money question for me. What do you value more?

What about overlabels?

 

[FrankBlack]

I'm willing to spend the time. Was unsure of the necessary skill, tools, and technique.

Hoping I don't give it a go with removal, only to find myself in over my head.

Removal is tedious, but as other people say relatively new chips are a lot easier than older ones. You'll probably make a few mistakes, thankfully most of the gouging I did is hidden by the labels. If $ was no concern I'd pay to have them removed, but it aint cheap for something you could do yourself.

What about overlabels?

Considered overlabeling, but would prefer second rack to match the first (a previous GEAR label replacement).

Any tips on removal technique?

I gave it a try on a few chips. The labels came off more or less like the video link above. Thanks!

Does anyone have some spare GN 25¢ replacement type Gear labels I could try until I'm able to place my larger order with Gear?

Before you murder the rest of those chips I may be interested in trading for them.

@FrankBlack, any updates on your project? I am in the same boat, I have completely harvested my GN set but now I need to figure out what I want to do with my $2s. Would love to hear what you decided and how it went!

After learning to remove a few labels, I was contacted by another PCF member who offered to trade my rack of GN $2 for some that had already been relabeled as GN 25¢. I took the deal.

I might have a rack of $2s converted to 25¢ available soon, done by the man himself (Gear).

What about overlabels?

Over labeling does work well on GN chips. With non-laminated labels, there is still a recess - no chance of spinners.
