What’s a good option to replace the BTP Cash $1? (1 Viewer)

[Eloe2000]

@Windwalker I noticed you swapped out the $25s from previous photos of your BTPs for $20s. Strong move. Huge fan of $20 chips and this may be the best out there.

those would be great except they repeat the spot pattern of the $5...so no go.

Was going to be my other suggestion

 

[Eloe2000]

The other good option, and fortunately WW knows a guy...

Are the Big Tops leaded, I'm thinking no, yeah? Mixing leaded and unleaded is a crime, is it not? Hey, I'm just the new guy.

That's very true.

But I think with the 18 spot pattern it would be a better fit than the current BTP $1 or the suggested ES 25¢.

Love the ES 25¢ on its own but not with any other chips. 8V frac is very busy and difficult to fit in a set in terms of spot progression.

came to the same conclusion. Moved to SB1s.

Yeah, what the new guy said.

AS T25k

Hmmm. I’m with @Hornet on this one. The $1 grew on me. Not sure a change is worth it, regardless of how awesome the ES frac is.

 

[Jeevansluck]

Aren't Big Tops 43mm?

BTP Tourney is ALL IHC

Thanks for the knowledge bomb. I think I have nothing more to contribute. Carry on.

A white (or light blue) 818-spotted $1 chip would bridge the quarter and $5 spot patterns quite nicely imo. So would a 6d18.

 

[johnjohn]

also, swap the 20s out for the 25s. Or ship the 25s to me for proper storage in exchange for fiat.

 

[wonderpuddle]

The newest circus circus $1? I think the 18 spots would look good in that lineup.

I have an 818-spotted white chip, hmmmm ugh, I could never murder those. Plus, they’re leaded.

@Sprouty and @MatB both used the ES frac

ES $1 (white) and Circus Circus $1 (blue, although not light blue) both come to mind... and being recent productions, neither are leaded.

Step away from those Eddies.

Congrats on owning a btp set @Sprouty

White isn’t going to work so well with the white $100

Plenty different, imo -- spots, colors, even size. Won't be many (if any) $100s in play with this set anyway.

Im so glad i got ES fracs before Windwalker went looking for them.

I looked at a LOT of different alternatives to the native $1. Although there were a few contenders, I wanted to keep with the vibrant theme of the set which eliminated most of the other chips. Then having it be a non repeating edge spot pattern in the line up.

I settled on the ES frac and LOVE it. But there are probably some other viable candidates.

 

[MatB]

Some candidates I looked at...

please don't murder these beautiful hot stamps. Would require a lot of effort to try to put together 2 racks barrel by barrel.

 

[MatB]

re-assignment surgery is not murder.

If the chip identifies as a BTP $1, then we must respect that.

 

[wolfpack]

Paris $1

Could I respectfully ask why the dislike for the original $1? I honestly think it’s one the nicest looking chips out there. Does it not play well with the fiver or something? It adds variability to the spot progression so it can’t be that right? Just curious.
