I decided to give this flat file storage cabinet to the wife for her crafts and hobby stuff. Once the basement is done I will probably get a custom ordered Stanley Vidmar cabinet in all black to match my table.

Rounded out my set with quarters and the $1k chip. I like the Aztar secondary $500s a little more than the GV secondary $500s at $1k chips.
 
Looking good! The Aztar secondaries were an excellent idea if I do say so myself ;).

Pretty soon my set will consist of no original Terrible's lol.

Those 500's are MT primaries. Got a heck of a deal on them so I couldn't pass them up. I'm talking like half price and they were mint lol. Now that I see them they actually compliment the purple 1k chip so it kinda works out.
 
Looking good. The Aztars do makes nice $1k chips. I'm glad I could help you out. ;)
 
Was organizing some pics...don't know if I posted this one...

Nice. I picked up two of the Terrible's ones a while back. One will probably go into a case for a wall hanger.
 
That bounty chip could make a nice 25c chip. How many of them did you get?
 
I had 200 but I sent you two so 198 now Lol. That's not a bad idea being a blue Rhc chip is proving to be hard to find
 
Filled up my quarter 'needs' today! thanks saw!
up to 300 from 100 now.

Tommy how do you feel about wearing these chips down from use? I mean just from 8-10 uses I can already notice a height difference in stacks between the used and the brand new .50 pieces I picked up yesterday (stack of 20). I was quite surprised by this difference already!
They arent obviously making these anymore... so after a few years their minty-ness will be no more.. I want them to stay minty sharp FOEVA! :(
 
I'm not too worried. It's not like casino wear unless you let you players throw them around. I have not used my Terrible much, probably used about 200 chips from my sets. That will change once the basement is done. I plan on having a monthly game at first, then perhaps a bi-weekly game if we can work out a schedule.
 
I love the 500's too, I don't really have a lot of pictures of them though :/. I need to get on that!

Here's one that I happen to have though:

Showing off those Blue Chip Casino Quarters, very nice!
 
Just going with the red, white and blue theme. (It's actually backwards in the pics, so I guess it's a France theme then.) :)
 
Now I know why it`s impossible to find $100s. Nice collection.

Thanks. :) I had over 3,000 chips at one point. This is what I have now.

510 x .50 (new)
510 x $1 (new)
510 x $5 (new)
510 x $25 (slightly used)
510 x $100 (like new)
350 x $500 (new)

2,900 Total.

love it, if that was my set I'd add another 1 x 100 and 5 x 500
 
Just amazing, how the edges/layers of the 500s look!! this is my current wallpaper on my laptop

Just for reference, those aren't layers -- they are machine marks, made after the final pressing when the chips were finished down to 39mm diameter.
