Need help choosing a $1 chip for mixed, THC (leaded) set (1 Viewer)

[Ben8257]

Having gone through a similar search a couple of times I seem to remember there being some solid options. They're easy to ignore because edge spots are cool, but theyre probably an easier to find, cheaper option.
Then again, theyre usually used, so if excellent+ is a requirement, nevermind.

You spend that kind of money building a beautiful cash set... I would want to pay a little more for spots on the $1 myself.

Put yourself out of misery and sell/trade me your Golden Eagle $5s.

/thread

LOL... well this is "secret option #3"... but I hope not to go down this path.

I actually have 2 racks of solid blue chips that are in used condition standing in as a temporary solution...

Rule #1 of chipping in 2022... never sell leaded THC $5s in playable quantities!

Rule #2 .... doesn't really matter, pay attention to rule #1!

Lmao

This wound be my pick as well.

For a 3D14, how about RPC $1's?

I absolutely love the RPC $1 and think that is ideal spot pattern. Unfortunately I'm assuming impossible to get and are not leaded...

Not impossible if you pony up from what I hear...

All the "ponies" in the world won't make em leaded bro! Lol

I’m sure I’m in the minority here but I’m not a fan of that $25 and $100 together. Relabeled it would look better, but as mixed the yellow throws it off IMO=

I hear you... my original plan was to re-label so it didn't matter at all. I also think it looks better in real life than in the pictures.

Does this help? The original VLC $5 has a diff blue spot than the HSG $1.

Thanks for taking the time to line that up. I have a bunch of HSG $1s too. At 1 point in time I didn't love the slightly different shades of blue spots next to each other so rules it out as an option.

I've gone back and forth about it. But ultimately I prefer the thicker spots...

I usually like thicker spots too but the blaze and yellow on the CDI $1s and their variations really pop. They'd bring some nice colors to the bottom end of the set as well, since you're already going to have a lot of white and blue.

Your CDI $1s seem to be darker blue than the couple I have...

Ahhh, the great Golden Eagle dilemma. Love those chips, nice looking set man Some good suggestions in this thread.

Hahahah... I did catch a thread about trying to pair $1s with GEs. I'm not the first to go down this path... Hello Aztar $1

The Aztar's are great but I do think dirty stacks will be a thing. I think I was fortunate with the 1s I had. Here's a look what I did and how they all look mixed.

 

[buffalojim]

You could be crazy and go full team black dollar and put those FLV's to good use.

Those Kings are amazing... They fit super well into the set too!

Thinking outside the box if you wanna relabel. These would fit the "Golden" Eagle theme

Not a bad suggestion... I just don't think I'm a black $1 guy. If I was going with something other than blue it might be CDM $1... but damn those CDM $1s are... lets just say, "not the best value" at the moment

I do love the gold... Im also looking at the HSI 25,000 for some $500 chips.

What do you think about those blue spots with the GEs though?

Those are great... If I were to start building a THC set these would be at the top of my list for a $1. But they are not leaded so won't be considered for the set I'm building. I think the only non -leaded chip I'd consider would be the RPC $1.

The blue might be close to the same color, but a gold dollar would be unique and cool for a full GE set, the spot progression works too IMO. You kind of have to just pick a chip you like and go with it I think.

I di think the gold is very on point for a GE set - 100%. I have been going back and forth a lot on options for a $1. Just have not fallen in love... yet.
