What are these? (1 Viewer)

The ad says ceramic... But these look more like China Clay or injection molded plastics?

Nexgen injection molded chips.

you could do worse as far as slugged chips are concerned, imo.

Sorry folks, but those are not Nexgen 8000 Las Vegas mold chips, which are 12g slugged plastic with single-color 312 edge spots:

.

The old 8000-series Nexgen LV mold is now being used to produce cheaper plastic injection-molded chips with multi-color spots, as depicted in the OP's photos. They are junk. Doh, brain fade. I even have samples.....lol.

Correct. They are the multi-color 8002's.

I could've sworn there were "4A12" and "3A12" options of these chips too.

So you're saying they aren't Ceramic Chips worth $0.33 per chip?

They do come in a nice looking "Mohogany" box though...

Okay, I stand corrected on the 8002 chips.

There were originally three versions of the pre-NexgenPro formula 12g slugged Nexgen chips released around 2005 -- Las Vegas mold (8000), River Poker Tour mold (8100), and the Lucky Bee mold (8200). The 'series 2' Las Vegas mold chips (8002) surfaced around 2006, do not have the diamond spots on the rolling edge, and have multi-color spots. A second Lucky Bee mold with recess for a larger label was also made available around that time. They typically sold for around 25c each new, usually in rolls of 25 chips.

River Poker Tour (8100 series), endorsed (designed?) by Chris Moneymaker:

Lucky Bee (8200 series, original version):

Lucky Bee (8200 series, large recess version):

Two versions of the Lucky Bee mold:

8000 series (single spot color with diamonds):

8002 series (mult-color spots, no diamonds):

NexGen Pro Classic (9 gram, no metal slug):

Several similar 9g chips have been produced with identical colors/spots but different mold markings and labels -- Dunes Commemorative, Pioneer Club Commemorative, Desert Palms, and several military themes (Marines, Navy, Air Force, Army).
