So, I plan on getting just one more (I promise) custom set soon. I would love to use the design of those badass Horseshoe chips with those amazing black inlays and gold font, pictured below. I love this design with a passion and want to get a set that emulates these, but I haven't found any denoms lower than the 500. Does anyone know if there ever were any made? Prefer a cash set so it would be awesome. If not, can anyone recommend sets that look similar to this? Black inlays and gold/glittery font and glitter rings are things I love (a design with glitter rings may work better, minus the borgata design). Also love the unique edge spots that remind of BJ chips. Anyone got anything for me? I am more concerned with the material of the chips I plan on getting (I am dead set on a set of Abbiati injection mold chips), I just need to settle on a design, and if I can use a design like this it will be amazing, but I am definitely gonna need common cash game denoms, preferably down to at least 25 cents. Thanks in advance.

I’m confused. If you say you’re getting customs why not just design the set that you want with everything you mentioned? I realize some of the things may not work (glitter) but you can probably come close.

Because right now these are my #1 choice but I don't know if smaller denom designs exist for them. Also, don't consider myself much of a designer. Also thought this might help me discover some designs I haven't been aware of.
 
under 500s don't exist.

closest to what you are looking for is a recent completed group buys from Matsui however its tournie denoms
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/matsui-43mm-wsop-tribute-set-design-final.85219/

proposed group but not gold but silver
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/matsui-43mm-sands-casino-group-buy-order-thread.96778/

otherwise, if you want a set of Bud Jones from a closed casino
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ino-oasis-full-set-500pcs.97329/#post-2017444 - white label.
there is a black-label version you will need to ask the vendor about and or search the forum

or another while label option but not sure who is selling atm.

I thought there weren't any less than 500, but looking at the examples posted on the ChipGuide, I see a 25 and a 500 posted there that were from the one year the Horseshoe wasn't Binions (that awkward year after the Horseshoe brand was sold but the WSOP was still being held at what is now Binions). Not quite what you are looking for as they weren't exactly the same issue, but similar to manufacturer and purpose.

Click the green circle next to "no cash value chips" near the bottom of the page to get to the ones you have and the ones I'm talking about here.
 
10g 43mm Sun-Fly hybrids with 25mm recess, and design the denominations, spots/colors, and labels however you like (or have a designer do it). Well under a buck per chip, and you get exactly what you want.

Sadly, I figured as much. That mockup might help, though. Abbiati is who I wanna go with and I'm pretty dead set on a set from them, and this style of chip seems like it would fit very well. At the very least I may be able to work on using the inlays with a different design, I'm not as big a fan of Matsui's edges pots.

I already purchased those exact Oasis chips, lol. Which equals 4/5 set on my wishlist down. All that is left is a set of Abbiati's. The last factor comes down to the design and wanted something similar for them.

Thanks for the help!

I might just actually go with that design, that actually is one of my favorite edgespot designs, might try that with one of the aforementioned inlays and see how it looks; that whole set was pretty awesome. Thanks.
