I need to decide on a $20 chip to use with the set below. This will likely involve a relabel. Looking for any suggestions on what would fit. The examples below are all I can come up with. (The Mirage chips are labeled as nickels and the Paris chips will be labeled as quarters)

With your nickels already yellow and your hundos already black, you 're basically looking for a green $20.
The famous light green Dunes $20 comes to mind, but it's expensive and oversized.
Cleveland $25 Secondaries or Cincinnati $25s, primary or secondary, to be re-labelled?

You can't use two yellows, so the PNY is automatically out. I like the Excalibur snapper, but I'd look into something green for that chip
 
I knew the PNY was not a good idea, but I'm really struggling for ideas. Currently I'm using relabeled ES primary T5Ks until I find a replacement.
 
Realistically will the 5c and $20 ever be on the table at the same time? I think the Excalibur (first Vegas casino you played poker) fits your set well and frankly I would rather change the Mirage out since it's not on your list anyway.

What stakes are you playing? Did you already label the 5c chips. In my opinion 5c chips are wholly unnecessary. Our group plays 20 NL and we just use blinds at 25c/25c and it really works well. It took me a long time to accept PCF advice on this but it is so much easier than trying to play 10c/20c. or other forms of blinds.
 
What about a purple chip? Cleveland HS $500’s are reasonably priced if you don’t need too many of them.

That is probably unlikely. The nickels are just for the occasional non serious family game. Often used as play money.

I picked up the Mirage chips from FDLmold who already had them relabeled as nickels.

As far as fitting the set theme, I justified their inclusion as an homage to Vegas Vacation.
 
Some alternative oranges though I don't know if there will be dirty stack issues with the Flamingo 5s. And pretty hard/expensive to get these in volume.

I'm not someone who needs traditional colors as long as they are labeled with the value... but doing a white/red/green/black combo where the green is 20 instead of 25 seems like asking for confusion to me.

I like the Venetian 2s suggestion personally though.
 
For the purpose of this discussion let's forget about the nickels. They will rarely be used and I don't want to limit my choices for the main part of the set.

I tend to agree with this. To throw another complication in the mix, for the higher stakes games where the $20s aren't used, I have Dunes $25s.
 
Ok, you 're set. You don't need anything.
If you like more the purple $20 Stardusts than your current gorgeous yellow ES T5Ks as $20s, buy them if you find them.
Otherwise, no need to search for anything.

I really would like to get a Bellagio chip into this set, and could conceivably invest in a rack of live $10s or three barrels of live $20s. There are two concerns, though. One is the dirty stack issue you mentioned. The other is that it would be the only chip in the set with a dark label. Looking at mock-ups, I think that might tilt me a bit.

I wish the '98 versions of the 10s and 20s were still available.
