Help me find a chip to use for a $1 (1 Viewer)

[Rhodeman77]

I’m building a set of Paulson chips that I am going to go full inlay replacement with.

I have the $5, $25, & $100 chips, but would like some ideas for the $1 chip. Since it is getting the inlay removed it doesn’t need to be an actual $1 chip right now.

Parameters of what I’m looking for:

1. Must be THC mold
2. In VG+ condition. Some home game use is fine, I don’t want anything casino used.

I’m open on color and edge spots. The chips need to be reasonably available. I only need 150 to 200 total. Ideally I’d like to keep the cost at or below $3/chip.

Here are the other chips in the set.

 

[RocAFella1]

Scandia $1
Paris $1
Venetian $1
Jack $1
Bally’s $1
AS $1
AS $2

I like the AS 2 or Bally’s in there a lot actually. Not so keen on the AS $1.

 

[Rhodeman77]

Definitely considering the AS $2 and Empress T100.

I know the $2 chips is available and in the price range any idea of the T100 chip?

Also I am using the Paris $1 in my mixed set. I love the inlay too much to replace it. When I first came up with the idea of this set I contemplated making the whole set a Paris set actually.

Jerry’s $1, Paris $1 or Jack $1.

Too much pink/purple with the CdM $1 IMO.

I think the CDM $1 would have dirty stack issues with the $5.

Those Jerry’s are awesome, but I think they are next to impossible to find in quantity.

 

[Perthmike]

Can’t remotely replicate the colour in the cpc tool but what about the metallic gold labradors/cdm/whatever else they come in.

@RichMahogany has a rack of Jerry's. He might be willing to let them go.

Why not go with the AS $1 chips

I don’t want to use almost the same spot pattern on the $1 & $5. Plus several similar shared colors.

The metallic colors get/look dirty very easy I have read a lot. So the brown of the AS $2 would be a good alternative.

The ES T100 looks great in that mock up, too bad they re so expensive.

How bout these

[Rhodeman77]

@davin i love both of them!!! Availability and especially price may make them prohibitive.

Nothing a PLO session or two can't cover!

 

[davin]

What about Paris 1’s

 

[Rhodeman77]

What about Paris 1’s

I’m using them in my mixed Paulson set. I may have a problem lol.

 

[RowdyRawhide]

Sam's town 1(no inlay would need to be milled)
Silver sevens 1.....or 2(I think)
Boulder station 1
NYNY 1

 

[ChaosRock]

If not AS $1s, maybe Bally's $1s.

 

[Coyote]

ES $1 ?

 

[ChaosRock]

ES $1 ?

They would work great but I don't think those can be found below $300/rack.

 

[Coyote]

Gray Casablanca hundos 8A18?

This may a boring but pragmatic suggestion -- how about the solid blue Flamingo $1s? New stock was available (at least a few years ago, brand new chips were being added/rotated into play, at least in the poker room). I've harvested 2 barrels with sharp edges. These are reasonably available. And there are some racks out there on PCF. The condition should meet or exceed the shape of the $2.50s above. Cost would be below your budget.

 

[softchewy]

have 120 of these and more are readily available

 

[BSteck]

Scandia $1?

 

[Rhodeman77]

I’m liking the idea of a grey or charcoal if possible. I have sets with blue and white $1’s already. Both colors are still in the mix, but would like to explore all the options.
