Title says it all, looking to build a barrel collection and these are top of my list! Also love the color of the Jack's snappers... so if you have a barrel of that too!

Do you have a picture ?

I’m not familiar with a Dunes Paulson 25c other than some pretty rare house mold ones

I got some extra pharaohs i can part with: 25 of the $25s, and 10 of the $500s. Pics:

Chips are in great shape, sharp edges, no color transfer. PM if interested

Good luck trying to build a barrel of Dunes quarters, took me years, and years, still don't have great quality

Like the Red Card Room 25c?

Are you certain Dunes 25c is what you looking for? That is very different than the other chips you are looking for especially when looking for one “or” the other.

To be honest, now I'm questioning my-self. I'm also a noob so you're probably right. I'm picturing the original Paulson version of the 25c chip, that is currently listed in the China Clay set on apache. I assumed it was a 1-for-1 replica of the original set. I just fell in love with the light pink and blue.

I understand its extremely rare as is.

Yah the poker room quarter is pretty hard to find and most were in the dig

I think @atrachs was quoting the apache web site when it said the dunes china clays were exact replicas of the actual casino chips. They are good knock offs but for the home market apache adds denominations that didnt exist. Note he said he likes the light pink and blue, which is what the china clay dunes chip is. If you like that chip get some! This is your set, get what YOU LIKE, youll be much happier.

Oh I see. So the Paulson Pharaohs are what’s called “fantasy” or “home line” chips. They are really compressed clay Paulsons of the same construction and quality as casino chips but just made for and sold directly to the home market. Dunes was a real historic casino, so those original chips are a completely different ball game. And the inlay design was a replica of the real inlay, but the chip designs were different. And the Dunes quarters are very rare, very collectible, and very expensive.

If you want to see some other nice attainable fantasy Paulsons check search here for CDM, CDI, VLV, Scandia, and Paulson Classics.
