Great looking rack. But I think they look a bit like Colon Orange

Are these Paulson or Christy & Jones?

 

[jpietrella]

Was going to pitch one on the table to color compare but didn't want to ruin the speed felt.

I actually don't know. How would I be able to tell?

 

[FordPickup92]

Long cane looks like Christy Jones but I dont really know on starbursts

 

[SiouxperStack]

Nice !

Simplest answer is they "feel" different. C&J feels more like a high pressure chip (ASM, BCC, TRK).

C&Js have very shiny hats in the LCV mold, and are also ever so slightly bigger in diameter. You've obviously got LCVs. The hats look pretty shiny, but if you can look under magnification, they will be completely smooth if C&J, rougher if Paulson. Make a riffled stack with some new condition Paulsons and see if they stick out.

So I don't have a magnifying glass but I just checked them out and the hats and canes are definitely shiny and smooth, not rough. They do appear just the slightest bit bigger in diameter, but I don't have a caliper to measure.

I can't say for sure, but they do "feel" slightly more weighty and different, but that's not very scientific.

I'm pretty sure they're not C&J.

 

[jpietrella]

I'm pretty sure they're not C&J.

No arguments from me. I have no idea.

 

[cpiaaq]

Yeah those hats aren't C&J shiny..

Didn't know that was an actual color until a few days ago. I originally thought he was making a feces joke.

I can understand as Colon orange is a bit rare, especially for Starburst chips.
I don't know if @Godzilla28 makes a lot of feces jokes but what I can tell you is that he's an expert for Poker chips, especially Paulson ones
