PCF's Favorite $.50 Casino Chip - Nominations Please (1 Viewer)

[FDLmold]

For the seventh (of ten) "PCF's Favorite" cash casino chip contest, it is time for the $.50 chips to shine. (The last three contests will be $100, $5000+, then $5, probably in that order.)

Fracs! I love fracs. I need nominations for your favorite 50 cent / $.50 chips please. The more photos you provide, the better. (If you can't find a photo, learn how to use chipguide.)

A valid chip for this contest must have been an actual cash chip, used in a casino of the same name on the chip. Fantasy and custom chips are excluded.

You may nominate 1-3 chips. There are people who regularly spam my nomination posts with 6-8 chips or more, and I usually just pick the best 1-3 chips that have a chance of winning a few votes, then I ignore the rest.

I'll nominate a few to get things started.

El Cortez 50c small crown


Miccosukee (FL)


Artichoke Peanut House (NV)


California Club (CA)


Tropicana (NV)

Solid chips so far. Nice! I almost nominated all of them except for the Joker Wild.

Shuffles Cardroom has a real shot at being the only hotstamped chip to win one of these.

Wait till the $5 chip

Some of us have absolutely no use for 50-cent chips. I've sold all the racks I once had, and don't miss them a bit...

If I was a drunk clown I would go by the name Shuffles…

… why do I feel like I’m setting myself up here?

Always liked this subtle 418 between the colors and shaped inlay:

Edit - These are sweet too; wish I found a use for them:

Yeah, that Grand Vic frac always spoke to me.

And those Choctaws -- don't recall ever seeing that spot pattern on a hotstamped chip before.

Like usual, very positive, valuable input, Larry. Someone get this man a cookie.

Y'all are on opposite ends. If they made a 75c chip I have no doubt you would get it on the felt between quarters and these .

 

[chipinla]

Winner right here.

Care to make a bet that that's the majority opinion in PCF?

 

[jpietrella]

I saw PCA in here but I prefer the secondary.

Who in the hell cares??? How many guys are actually using 5K chips in a cash game, yet we vote on them because most of us like to look at cool chips. I’ve never used a snapper in a game, and most likely never will, but I’ll sure as heck look at a snapper poll to see the best of the best.

 

[jpietrella]

Also!

That's unfortunate and maybe your loss. There are some 50c chips that seem like the greatest things ever made.

I’d pick the Bicycle Club 50c if it came to the two hot stamp chips
More pop
Both are great though

Surely someone has a good delta club pic @PocketAces ?
