New Project 43mm chips??? (2 Viewers)

[Apache]

I was watching the WSOP last night and saw they were using 43mm chips. Now that they are on TV and because of all the Horseshoe chips I might come out with a China Clay 43mm set.

This project is at least one year down the road but I would like some feedback. I am sure most of you guys have been shuffling your stacks of Horseshoe chips. I have and that size does feel nice.

Could be an all new mold. Maybe even a retro Horseshoe mold?

You had me at 43mm, you really got me at retro Horseshoe mold

I was watching WSOP thinking I wish I had more 43mm chips. I like this project already.

 

[links_slayer]

50mm in WSOP actually

 

[BGinGA]

^ Correct. Both the 500K and new 1M chips are on the 50mm no-mold. Everything else is 39mm RHC.

No wonder they looked so big!

I like 43mm chips for higher denominations (and that obviously means different things to different people - in my cash set, it's the $20's)
But personally, I wouldn't be any more attracted to a set that was all 43's than one that was all 39's.

agreed it is the difference in the big denoms that makes it special to me.

IDK about 43 or 50mm CC's, but I love the idea of a Horseshoe mold!

All 43mm is nice, but it's the size difference that appeals the most to me.

This may be the biggest take away from the idea so far...

I have 46mm bounty chips and they feel great.

 

[Marius L]

I love the idea of the higest one or two denoms of a given set being oversized. Definitely a fan of this idea and it would make China clays much more appealing if this was an option.

 

[chipjoker]

I like the oversize chips, I have my $20's on the 44mm... I wouldn't mind seeing a tourney set on 43mm and/or larger..

 

[SteveHNo96]

I like this. would this new size be just for China clays or would Ceramics also be 43 millimeters?

 

[Bigkyle]

50mm chips are awesome to handle.

 

[SemiNumerical]

Over sized dunes CC ??

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Different edge spots?.... (y) :thumbsup:

39 and 43 in the same set?... (y) :thumbsup:

Blanks available?....(y) :thumbsup:

This would be THE epic china clay GB!

 

[Matt Carden]

I'd be in for a mixed 39mm, 43mm, (50mm!) high denomination set! Perhaps with T50k or T200k possibilities?

 

[TheBigTater]

Retro Horseshoe mold, new line with 39mm & 43mm high denominations, old Vegas style theme..... naw, those would never sell.

ATHY!

 

[Dr Lecterr]

I think it would be cool to have a $5M denomination to go with the CPS chips. The 50mm would be sexy!

 

[Chris Flynn]

I jumped on the 43mm Boardwalk GB made from Sun-fly hybrid ceramics. Will probably have them in hand over the next 8 weeks or so. Love the idea of a CC set with 39, 43 and maybe even a 50mm chip! Will be watching this project with great interest!

I run a 1/2 game. We use different sets. One of them has 43mm hundreds. The players LOVE them. I switch out sets monthly, and they all complained last night about not having the 43mm chips. I bought 43mm high denoms for the boardwalk set for this very reason. If I could duplicate that across all my sets, I would.

 

[shawn15p]

They are awesome, but I agree with most that what makes them unique is they are only used for higher denominations. I wouldn't care for anything under 500 to be 43mm. JMO.

 

[Mental Nomad]

For tourney, I agree.

For cash, I just ordered oversize 20s.

 

[BGinGA]

I have played with a few all-43mm tourney sets, and it's a nice change of pace.

All the same size? I think uniform sizes makes storage easier.

 

[kk405]

It would be awesome to start a new China Clay set that feels similar to the Desert Palms, and uses dual sizing: standard 39mm ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) and 50mm for the bigger than 1K chip denominations (1K, 5K, 10K, 25K, 100K and 1M).

 

[mummel]

More choices with neat designs and options among affordable China clays? All-in.

 

[ChipTalker]

Josh mentions a retro horseshoe mold and I can see the virtual heads nodding in approval. I did a search in google and have a guess but I don't want to pollute the thread with bad info so can someone enlighten me as to what a retro horseshoe mold is?

thx
