Other THC Sized/Styled House Mold Options (1 Viewer)

[pokercole]

Hoping for some additional recommendations for potential options to pair with my Mirage 2009 chips for a mixed housemold set.

Because they are more styled/sized in line with more THC sizing vs many of the current RHC sized molds of today, I wanted to match on sizing! Here is what I've found so far but struggling to come up with others so far. Let me know if you have any other suggestions that you know of that are somewhat obtainable!

 

[dizzyChipper]

If you need a frac and don’t mind overlabel these came to mind

Or use as a $20 or $1k.

I think modern CP $5 with small inlay and MGM Grand $5 with small inlay also work. While the molded part isn’t quite as think I think the small inlay qualifies it as a match.

Yeah Ive considered the small inlays as a alternative option if nothing jumps out to me. At least they would match in label sizing!
Also found another with O’Sheas

Yes! Forgot to mention Bally's. Great $5

$25s will prove hard. Sundance are collected by a few members here extremely competitively. Dunes $25 is the play but many are looking for the same however there are many more dunes $25 out there than any other house mold $25. You will need to get creative or consider a mixed mold set and insert a THC $25.

Nice. Just tagged 'em. Hard to argue that's not a great fit if condition is similar.

Yeah unfortunately those Sundances are too worn to fit. These Mirage are sharp so ideally would want something that stands on edge.

I'm still in the brainstorming period anyhow. Trying to mix and match. Will post a few concepts in a bit so far!

And Sundance $25s are pretty much by single collecting.

I think Tropicana $25. Lucky $25. Century $25. Dunes $25. Live RW and Wynn $25 options.

Thankfully my group is almost always low stakes so I'd only be needing a barrel at most for this modest set. Was leaning towards Sundance for the darker color theme that I'm thinking and I already have one lying around haha.

Here is my rough ideas so far, GN 5 much darker in person though which I like

Not sure yet on the frac... so far really only considered the GN $2 but don't want to double up. Barbary Coast not bad but I think harder to find sharp from all that I've collected in the past

This is awesome. If you need a frac wait until something works with this lineup. This is it.

Can even do this with overlabels frac. The yellow and pink spots are very frac-ish.

Yeah I also thought about this! Could be fun to do the old school harrah's logo to with it to keep them all "whiteish" in tone. and also just noticed we have shaped inlays for all of them haha. Guess I was worried about having double blue? I'll put all these together and see how they look. Just need the damn sun to come out today...

Some quick example shots

 

[mr11]

I like what you got so far but will throw in a few extra options.

 

[pokercole]

ohhh I didn't think about the Imperial Palace, that would be a decent option to potentially mill in a frac... haha

Did 4 queens ever have a house mold that was THC thickness? Not sure they did but always liked their $1s

 

[BirdCage]

After you've exhausted all your time and money on the hunt for the perfect $25 HM chip, just do what I did, convert something to a perfect $20 HM chip...

 

[mr11]

I don’t think so but I took a few measurements which might help

Chip edge to inside edge
THC - 7.0mm
Imperial palace - 7.6mm
4Q - 6.2mm
RHC - 5.2mm

Planning something similar with the Foxwood $2s on another set!

Chip edge to inside edge
THC - 7.0mm
Imperial palace - 7.6mm
4Q - 6.2mm
RHC - 5.2mm

Doing Gods work out here! Yeah I got 7mm on all 3 of the ones I had down so far as well Mirage, GN, and Sundance

I have taken to calling this part of the chip the shoulders. I didn’t invent it, but I like it. And I agree that chips with wide shoulders are good.

According to this, Golden Nugget had the first house mold. I think including a Golden Nugget chip somewhere in your mixed house mold lineup is a nice nod to history.

 

[pokercole]

Absolutely, think I'm sticking with the GN $5 with the darker muted colors. Double bonus if it also adds some lore to the set!
