Mega inlay? (1 Viewer)

First for me. That gives bicycle tire a whole new meaning!
 
Yeah, I have this chip and the $5 chip from this casino. Rare giant inlay on THC mold. I haven’t seen it very often, as really these chips and the Casino movie promo chips are the only ones that readily come to my mind. It’s not a combination that casinos choose to often.

Absolutely obsessed with that Casino chip. If you ever decide to flip it... :whistle: :whistling: :whistle: :whistling:

I had two at one point, but sold the extra one. There’s plenty of them out there. One of the local CO members found a lot here on Craigslist and sold a bunch here on PCF. I’m sure there’s another member here that has an extra or two.
 
Foxwoods has an alternate $1 chip like that. I always bash giant inlay chips, but when they’re giant textured inlays on a THC, they feel very cool to the touch and to shuffle.

Here’s a couple more, though these are more recent, because they’re not textured (except around the edge (shoulder?) which I find interesting.
There’s a Vegas casino that released a bunch of commemorative $5’s like this, which you can find on eBay pretty easily. I think maybe Rio?

There are definitely a few out there.. the Ttump Marina with the Dolphin on it is a house mold but still giant inlay with the THC ring. . Cool chip!

Hard to tell but inlay goes to outer ring.

Also the winner's choice?? That @JWC was selling a while back is the same style and there were some brothel chips floating around a while back with the same mega Inlay... can't remember the name but I will see if I can find a pic!
 
There are only around a dozen or so (by my personal count, certainly not authorative by any means) of THC-mold casino chips with giant inlays. I have a few in the collection.
 
I intensely dislike the typical oversized inlays, but these are great. For me, the essential point is that the inlay extends beyond the ring of hats, rather than bisecting them. Huge difference.

Love the way all of these chips look. It's a bit like combining the full-face graphics of a ceramic chip with an enclosing ring of pure and simple clay goodness. That outer ring provides just the right touch to keep the otherwise over-the-top inlay artwork grounded.

They have hints of butterscotch and almonds too
 
That Warrior Chief $5k has a texture that's been imparted to it by the THC mold. You can tell because the texture runs uniformly across both the inlay and the exposed clay - check the "dots" carefully and you'll see that they line up, i.e. they're "pointing" in the same direction on the inlay and the clay edge.

I don't know what to make of those two RHC chips you're holding, where the inlay is textured but the clay edge is not. I guess the RHC mold is smooth? And the inlay material was sufficiently textured and sufficiently rigid before it went into the mold that the smooth mold couldn't completely press the texture out of the inlay?

just a guess
 
Rio and the Tropicana are the most common I’ve seen
If I could do a custom set I would do this method
Long Cane mega inlays
I’m guessing they no longer produce these though and for sure not the nice heavy leaded feel
Best Binions $5 color I think
Same colors as WSOP T5

This AC chip too old and leaded I’d bet and way up

Arguable the best $5 chip of ever to me
