You are buying the ACTUAL gaming cups for compression molding the Hispania Gaming scroll mold.
So...Palm Gaming AND ASM/CPC both had scroll cups?
I remember something similar offered for sale WAY back like in the CT daysSeems like I remember these being listed for sale once before.
I started KMCo with no idea what I was doing...So, it's probably *worth* $15,000... But unless you are going into the scroll mold business... Pass.
IIRC, several places have produced in the scroll mold.

Yeah I want to say Joe was selling it on CT back when he was liquidating, but memory is getting fuzzier everyday
If you had the secret to how BCC/Paulson make their chips, it is a low temp low pressure process and you can make chips like stamping coins. It goes pretty quickly, and you only need one cup (top and bottom) and a small (relatively) press to be profitable. CPC has a high temp high pressure process, and needs $20,000 molds with 20 cups because theirs is a longer process and you need to make them 20 at a time to be profitable.The more I watch machining videos on youtube, the more I think that cnc milling the dies for chips is really not that unobtainable. The clay formula, press pressure, heat requirements etc are likely where the real secrets are.
I'm sure we have a few chemists and engineersyou could make cookie cutters that punch out edge-spots, but the colors and recipe for the clay, that requires quite a bit of knowledge and experimentation.
Oh yes, if people here could agree on what colors / what mold to put the money on. Everybody has their own wish list. I have mine at least. No guarantee for success, of course, in such a venture.And since they have a scroll mold already, would be better to just send the 15K to David and let him experiment with some pigments
Or fund a new mold...
