^ This. And noteworthy that the more they get used, the better the feel and handling. ASM/CPC chips are pretty hard when new, and take a long time (or a lot of use) to really break in and hit their sweet-spot.

I've recently collected a bunch of Diamond-Square and Square-In-Circle chips, and I have to say they look and feel really sharp!

I’m not partial to 312 spots, but it works so perfectly with that soapys parlour set that I absolutely love it. Kind of want one myself.

I know a place you can probably tackle 4 of those in one day.
At the time I bought the chips that was the only option, they do have a nice vintage look to them with the Soapy labels.
They work perfectly. I think the 312 just needs to right theme to work.
I don't like them much myself; however, even though they are very similar, I think the 3916's with their more rounded look are cool. Used them on a couple of chips in my looming CPC set.

I feel the same exact way!
But love my Soap’s Parlor set with the spot pattern, it fits so well that I don’t mind the the spot pattern.

Apparently I like the FDL mold since I now own two custom sets on said mold.

Money not being an issue I would use diamond square. I just can’t justify the big price difference from the A-mold and HHR which I love both of as well. Probably a slight nod to the HHR of the 2.

At the soapys, i gotta quote Solan from the movie Pinchcliffe Grand Prix ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073000/ )

My initial is A, so A-mold all the way.

I think using the letters to match the theme is slightly overrated. The horse head molds were used in casinos of all names for many years, the detail of those heads is stunning and I like the way the chips handle. I love most of the molds but the B mold also really feels good and has great look imo.

So am I to understand that there is a difference in material composition between the various CPC molds?
???
I would doubt it. But each mold does physically perform differently because of the characteristics of the mold. For example, some molds can't be hot stamped because the pressure of the hot stamp would disrupt the quality of the mold impression. Others may sound different because the depth or width of the depression will differ, etc.
No. Same clay, different feel, sound and handling based on texture, inlay size, hotstamping. Slightly different diameters too iirc.

Gotcha... I've got a barrel of HHR style I found years ago at a yard sale that I like very much and just bought a set of A mold style based on that feel I plan on re labeling.
I like the letter on the mold/theme link.
Jockey always felt the best but I have no affinity to it.
HHR, Circle Square, Dsq best feeling and looking imo.
Like the look of H mold, feel not as much. Same for A mold, and I own a set.
B mold and small crown I’m still on the fence, as I’ve not handled in person.
FDL gets a like too but I feel only suits certain inlays.
The rest is a pass for me.
All a personal thing though. As mentioned above the feel (like Paulsons) improves ten fold with a fair bit of use.

Need a video showcasing each of the different moulds on feel, sound, and handling, including the 44mm chips.

Csq for just looks. Horsehead for theme, would love then with an old western or saloon theme like S Soapys Parlour
H-mold. Classic and inobtusive. Let’s the color, the spots and the inlay/hotstamp really stand out.

Diamond Square > B Mold > HH
Curious about $20 chips vs. $25. I would guess the $20 would be handy in a 10/20 game, or some limit games, but I play mostly 1/2 or 2/5, so that is kind of outside my experience...

It's an either/or scenario. I prefer $20s, because my players buy in with $20s. If your players buy in with Hundos (or $25 bills
, then the $25 chip will go a little further.

Thanks. Question regarding the $1. I know CPC charges extra 53 cents for white, or doesn’t charge extra if you are willing to accept bright white with impurities. What route did you go?
