New to this forum and really enjoying the wealth of information on here! The past couple of weeks I've been trying to do my own digging with only some luck.
I've been playing poker for years and now a group of 6-8 friends and I are beginning to take it more seriously. I'd like to get a nice set of chips for us to play with, as for now we're stuck with some plastics. Been happily surprised at the prices of some of the cheaper casino offerings I've seen (some Majestic Star, HSI, and even some of the Jack Casino chips aren't too bad of a buy for me).
Problem is, I'd like to be able to also use these chips for casual games with family and potentially young kids around, so to save myself the stress I'm only looking for the Paulsons made after 06-08 with the low lead content. I'm aware there's probably no risk of harm from the lead in chips and the concentrations are probably overblown, but I'd much rather air on the side of caution if this is a set I'd like to use in a wide variety of situations. Don't even mind paying a little extra for some of their less desirable molds, but $2-$2.50 a chip would probably be my max. So with all of that pointless follow up, here is my question:
Is there an easy/accurate way to know if a Paulson contains lead by a picture alone? Or is there a way (by color, by specific casino, by specific mold, etc.) to determine if it was made after they stopped using lead in production?
I know it's a bit of a long shot but thought it might be worth posting anyone has any info. My bad if this is kind of a pointless hunt, new around here. Appreciate you taking the time to read this!
