Pick Hobson's Riverside $.50 Chip (1 Viewer)

[BoyWonder]

Hi,

I recently purchased a sample set of the Pick Hobson's Riverside TR King chips from Apache. The sample set came with the $5.00, $25, and $100. According to the chip guide (link below), they also had a yellow $.50. Unfortunately I have never seen one available, but am really interested in acquiring one. Does anyone know if there are any of the $.50 chips still around?

Yes, but they are somewhat rare, highly coveted, and very expensive. Plan on burning a Jackson on eBay.

I figured it wouldn't be cheap, but I am glad to hear there is hope! Thank you!

Found one on Amazon for almost exactly $20. Good call on the price BGinGA!

What a fantastic looking stack. This brings me to another question though, does anyone know why there is no Pick Hobson's $1 chip?

Man I miss those chips! Glad to see them actually getting used though.

I have that Roulette set, but I don't have the pink roulette. The roulettes are so mint, I wonder if they were even on the tables?

Anybody know what size those $1 slot tokens are? The same as a regular chip? I am putting together a display piece and want to leave room for a token...

I use the Hobson's fives as quarters, since finding a TRK quarter for less than a mint is a rarity.

They're quite a bit smaller. Maybe 30mm? Not sure exactly

Display is mostly done, just missing the token between the $.50 and $5.00. I am torn between which side of the token I would show. I think the stagecoach is cool, but I really like showing the actual hotel/casino as it makes the chips feel more "real".

I'm not sure how rare the tokens are, is there a possibility to get another and display one on each side?

There are 2 on eBay right now at $12 each. I didn't even consider displaying both sides, but it is a great idea! I might need to redo the layout to incorporate this.
