Help identify these chips? (1 Viewer)

[fisherpatt]

Hi all,
I dont currently own any poker chips but I want to buy a set for a home cash game. I was looking on Facebook marketplace which pretty much only had people selling dice chips, but I did find these which look interesting.

Can anybody tell me what type of chip these are and if they are decent quality? I'm not the biggest fan of the no cash value markings but I do like that there aren't denominations.

Nexgens.

Plastic chips, but I always liked the feel of Nexgens compared to other plastics.

Nexgens of some sort looks like. Decent chips probably, in the $100-$150 range for the set. Easy to label if you ever want to customize.

Nexgen, I got some of those. Interested if you selling

 

[fisherpatt]

Thanks for the help. Seems like this is a decent deal. They also have another case of these chips, are they also nexgen? (excluding the whites on the bottom)
Some of them seem like they are corroding.
They are asking $100 for both cases which would be 2000 chips if all of the racks were full.

Did some looking and it seems like they are the nexgens for sale in this post https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/nexgen-old-generation-set-slugged-set-case.104981/.
Offered them $70 and they said sure so I'm going to pick them up tomorrow.

These are all Nexgens.

The chips with the "CASINO" mold are not Nexgens. They are a cheaper plastic knock-off that were popular in the mid-2000's.
The white ones on the bottom are metal-slugged ABS plastic chips, slippery and not worth much at all.

Hmmm...I'm going by the multiple threads on these recently, where the consensus is that they're not.
Here's one:

I don't think Nexgen made any chips with the dotted inner ring.

well...to be fair, they also list the lucky bee and river poker tour chips under the "other" section instead of the "nexgen" section (where nearly everyone here would agree these belong)....so probably best to follow the wise words of abraham lincoln: don't believe everything you read on the internet.

 

[WedgeRock]

The Nevada USA mold was the first Nexgen chips I recall. I don't recall dotted rings either.

But, you know, CCGTCC has spoken and all...

Those Lucky Bee chips taught me the importance of buying samples.

Alphabet soup is wrong (big surprise).

FWIW (not much I know) the "Casino" chips feel like Nextgens to me whether or not they are. Actually I take that back, I think they feel better than Nextgens. They had a pleasing heft (thank you slug!), nice grip, fair price, and took labels very well.

As far as cheap plastic slugged chips go I quite like them and regret selling the set I had like 15 years ago.

 

[surfik]

The older version have a nice soft feel like rubber

FWIW, the CASINO mold has been used in several different configurations; some slugged, some not, some as blanks, some with labels, and some with absolutely horrendous label compositions (unlaminated with gold printing that rubbed off onto other chips, hands, and felt).

As you (and @surfik) noted, some of these variations were decent, and yet some were pretty awful. Hard to tell the difference by pics alone.

 

[surfik]

those (older so called 3 tone are slugged and bit rubbery) very durable and overal pretty nice chips if you like the look of them

those are later series, bit lighter, hard plastic , look decent but haave tendency to break in trays

 

[fisherpatt]

Got the chips in. They feel nice and I like the colors, though some seem pretty heavily used. I'm thinking about buying some avery 1" circle label sheets and designing some custom stickers to cover up the no cash value.

@surfik I have 2 racks of black which are in good condition if you want to buy any.
