Most have been inspired by actual high end chips in various casinos.
Hunt them down. Kind of a fun process that will get you excited.
The white is the Aria $5000 for example.

That won't really be known until we get them. These will be the first China Clay 43mm chips. Based on past China Clay 39mm chips, calculating for a 43mm diameter, I would estimate between 11.5 and 12 grams. Mold and label size could affect final weights, but I'm close with the estimate.
Dammit. I meant to weight them when I had the samples in hand. Maybe @davin can once he gets them. Forwarded the traveling sample set off to him on Wed.
But I can tell you they felt great. I was impressed right when I first picked them up. CCs always feel a little light and airy to me but these did not at all. Substantial was the word that came to mind. But they weren't artificially heavy like the metal slugged claysmiths. These chips are a winner.
^^ Pretty much this.
The volume of a 43mm chip (assuming these will actually be exactly 43mm) compared to a 39mm or 40mm chip with an identical 3.3mm thickness is 1.22 or 1.16 times larger in volume, respectively.
If the smaller chip weighs exactly 10g, that puts the estimated weight of a true 43mm x 3.3mm chip made with similar materials at 11.6 to 12.2 grams, pending actual diameter of the smaller chip.
Lots of minor variables could be in play, but that's a pretty solid guess.
i can def weigh em, they show out for delivery today which is fricken fast since u just shipped them out on wed. did anyone locate the 2 missing chips>?
From Virginia to Hawaii in two days and yesterday was a holiday. USPS FTW!
Last I heard from @bostonjoe617 was that he had shipped them out, but they never showed up. Since then, he hasn’t responded to me.

They looked too good, and then he ate them. Don’t get on your high horse and act like you didn’t think of doing the same.

What's the size on the inlay? 1"?
Man wtf?
I heard from him today. He sent them out, but I assume they got lost in transit. It's quite likely, as flooding has caused our PO to move to a temporary location. If they show up, I'll forward them.
Hi any idea when the Royal DB will be in stock for Purchase? Thanks

I'm wondering the same about the dealer button. I sent apache an email about it two days ago and I will update when I hear back from him

Don't know how accurate the shipping labels are, but calculations said 10.5g, but that seems light.
Unfortunately 100% he either lost them or is too lazy to go ship which so disappointing cause I know he’s mailed other people chips since.

I really don't appreciate people COMPLETELY discounting my hypothesis that he ATE them. I mean they looked really good!
Great Thanks!

I don’t know how I missed those pics, I am beyond excited. Ordered 1100 blanks for a tourney set. Having custom labels made

Excitement of the purchase then the wait. OH the terrible wait. That oddly enough does not get enough empathy on here sometimes. We all hate the wait. ANy pics of the proofs on the labels?
