Just an interest poll.... 2 answers one for interest and one for price. The thought is based on rehabbing stand on edge or almost stand on edge casino used chips.
Agree there, Depending on target Chip Condition Turn around can be pretty quick.... The order process has to be determined. A chip condition Rating standard on thickness and edge condition. I guess this can be done with pictures. I can see some chips after shipment being rejected on condition or waiver of diameter reduction. etc..... Maybe a pic of a mint chip with the target chip. If unavailable something similar. ALOT of variables and procedure to get in place! I think this could be viable!! I am looking at a couple projects for people as we type. The most important thing is what the prices will be and how to scale it. And what its worth to the chip owner..... there are certain supplies expended in the process but nothing over the top!
Were also looking into a method to restore a certain type of chip right back to 39mm exactly.... This process is a ways off but were confident it could happen!
Next step would be flat out chip manufacturing, for sure a long way off, but being investigated!!!! The latter would be expensive but may be a worth while venture! Then again maybe not. May be tough to compete with the Asian market as quality seems to be getting better there but it seems shipping is a hard task. I can definitely see why there's so much secrecy in the industry! retired at 55 is BORING!!!!
