Maybe I missed it. Who made the Tropicana stamp?

 

[WedgeRock]

My guess is @AK Chip had it made.

nicely done. they look like they have been really lightly stamped on. The $5 almost looks like it has been printed on. Is that because stamping any heavier would lead to spinners?

No, I try to stamp a chip with the least amount of pressure and heat needed to get a complete stamp. Sometimes it requires a deeper stamp and will need scraped, which is a pain in the

I think a size in between these would be perfect.

Agree. The larger stamp looks good on the small crown but it’s just a tad too big for the roman.

@AK Chip, have you tried stamping FDL chips? I know CPC won’t stamp them, but I know I’ve seen some hotstamped FDL’s—Le Boudoir, I believe.
