Bit of a simian theme emerging...

 

[navels]

these mockups are driving me crazy. i am just hoping when my samples get here that I can't stand them.

no such luck:

 

[bivey]

Small crown ideas? I can't post a picture of that!

#4 is a dayglo base? What color?

Retro lavender

Retro lavender

Not technically a dayglo??? They have 9 dayglo’s and those four retro’s just don’t have the brass... correct?

Technically? No.

You are correct when saying that the DG and retro chips have no brass flakes in them

I ordered samples Aug 2016 and yours look brighter ... you think it’s camera/lighting or is this the slight color changes I have been reading about?

Ok... FINE!

If I ever get serious about a CPC cash set I'll have a proper inlay designed.

 

[Meddler2]

Obvious work in progress as inlay is just a placeholder for now. But my uncle is the artist that was commissioned to create the "celebrate" forever postage stamp a few years ago...

 

[joker80]

How about a Milton Krells Paladin 1/4 pie tourney set?

 

[Beakertwang]

Micro cash set. Solid nickel, quarter, dollar, five, twenty.

 

[Cowboys1]

So I'm planning to buy some custom chips and want the rounders mold. This is what I'm leaning towards right now. (I don't know how to get the rounders inlay so pretend the inlay are the rounders $25-$5000 lol)

$25 - Green with Dayglo pink spots
$100 - Black with Dayglo green spots
$500 - Purple with Dayglo arc yellow spots
$1000 - Dayglo saturn with retro blue and grey spots
$5000 - Maroon with light and dark chocolate spots

I agree on the 1” inlays. Just seems small with the 7/8. I am actually still leaning towards the DiaSquare though.

I measured my Mapes chip... the inlay is around .95"... here is the Rising Sun with 1" inlays... much better.

Excellent edge spot color combinations (the 500, though, would benefit from Blurple spots instead of Lavender).
Also, congrats on the frac values, from a fellow .25 hater!

If these are ever made to work with hotstamping (currently they're not according to David's post in the CPC channel) a suuuuuuper long term project for my next set might be a tribute to the Caesars Palace tourney chips (which I love).

Excludes the 10K (which I neither like, nor understand )

I know the original "5" is probably closer to DG Tiger. I just think the red works better. Maybe mandarin red.

Base colors:

Frac, $1, $5:

$25, $100

Thoughts?

I like it a lot. Only if they can eventually hit stamp them.

Fingers crossed for hotstamping. If they can be hotstamped, I might stamp the $1 as well

 

[Meddler2]

So a L11 chip with hub inlay would be $5.49ea correct?

What do you guys think the scrown molds would look like with hot stamps on solid colors? Something similar to the Atlantic club or private card room?

I think they would look fantastic! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like CPC will be able to do hotstamping on the scrowns in house.

Something like this:

Or this:

But CPC has indicated it isn’t likely that they’ll be able to hotstamp the scrowns.

You should know that showing off is frowned upon in polite culture.

Lucky for you, it's encouraged on PCF! Those are incredibly cool!

[gopherblue]

The problem, which even TRK had, is that the faces of the scrowns are ever so slightly concave— if you stamp hard/deep enough to make the whole image, you get a lot of material displaced on the edges, and the only solution is to scrape/plane the surface. You can see visible evidence of that on most of the Casbah Clubs—the faces look scraped. The worst part is that doing so removes a lot of the cross-hatching as well, so the chips are a little slipperier and aren’t as grippy.

Inlays don’t have that problem—fully intact cross-hatching means they’ll stack like bricks.

That sucks about the hot stamping on the scrown mold. What about the big crown mold?
