I purchased the retired chips from the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) casino in northern Wisconsin (pronounced: lah-coot-oh-ray). These LCO chips are leaded THC-mold Paulsons, with shaped inlays on the $25 (and $100) denominations. The chips were used in this very small casino for 25 years, and are in much better shape than the non-leaded RHC formulation chips I have seen (for example, from the CIN/CLE Horseshoe buys).
This is the only limit set sold on PCF that has the better quality $1 chips that I hand sorted from the buy. The set has n=1,000 of the hand-sorted $1 chips + n=200 of the leaded, shaped inlay $25 chips. A great limit breakdown with 25 big bets at 2/4. Note that there will be one (maybe two) other limit sets sold in the future with the lower quality $1s (i.e., with similar breakdown as this set).
Full Set:
Starting Stack:
A comparison of the $1 "good sorted" vs. "culled lower quality" chips is below. The "good quality" $1 chips are still casino used, but are in significantly better condition since I sorted them to the best of my ability and removed the large defect chips.
Good chips (REPRESENTATIVE OF $1s IN THIS SET):
Culled lower quality ($1s THAT ARE NOT PART OF THIS SET):
There are plenty of additional pics here in the full THC set sale thread, including cleaned and oiled chips (which really pop). Note that there are only a couple of the full THC sets still available.
