need help with my $5 (1 Viewer)

[bricktown88]

Hey there,

I am looking for some suggestions on a $5 chip. I have spent a ton of time manually searching through chips but due to being overwhelmed, I am hoping you guys can think of some with me.

First, I am wondering if you guys can give info related to the availability+price of the following chips I am currently considering:
Golden Broken Arrow $5
Claim Stake $5
Point Defiance $5

Second, does anyone have any other recommendations of a $5 that is relatively available and looks similar to the 3 I mentioned? Particularly a hot stamped chip. The Point Defiance is the best "fit" to go with my $1 (Sam's Town) since it is hot stamped, but it's not exactly hitting my heart strings enough. If anyone has suggestions on a hot stamped $5 I am all ears.
That being said, I am not opposed to an inlay'd chip at all. I know that some of you might disagree with me pairing a different mold or an inlay'd chip with my Sam's Town $1, but I am not too concerned with it at this moment. Knowing myself, I will probably switch out the $1's later with my 2nd set anyway so its really not a big deal, but I do want to try for a hot stamp first.

My frac is a bright pink .50 from Ameristar KC, found here:

Thank you for your time

I doubt if anyone minds mixing hot-stamps with inlaid chips, so long as the hot-stamps are the smallest denomination(s). But going from an inlaid frac to a hot-stamped $1 would probably tilt most people.

As for the Golden Broken Arrow $5s, there are two versions -- one with spots, and one without. They have the same inlays (different on the two sides). The ones without spots do not appear in the ChipGuide.

Im all about the spots. Are they attainable?

Racks of spotted $5s pop up now and then, but I don't think I've ever seen more than one at a time.
