Claims they’re all original Chipcos, which they might be. I don’t remember which chips the GOCC add ons were. Seller name is familiar too, again don’t recall from where(2+2 HP/CT/PCF)

Well I know there no fracs in the original Chipcos. 20s were custom too. Even some of the 1s weren't original. PGI made quite a few extras to help make sets playable IIRC
 
eBay add says PCF CT member.

Would think they would sell fairly fast here, pretty good price.

I asked him if he was a member here when he had some GV secondaries posted and he didn’t answer that part of the question.

Not sure why he chose eBay over the classifieds
 
I saw these this morning and wondered why they weren't in our classifieds. I wouldn't buy the whole lot but I would like a few racks of the fracs...
 
My recollection...
- Chipco only made the $5 thru $1000.

- All other denoms were custom from PGI, although they were supposed to be made on Chipco blanks w/Chipco equipment acquired by PGI.

- GOCC added others but with slight changes for existing denoms (colour of numbers on edge) and the $10k denom.

I would have been interested in one rack each of the 25c and $1. Not the whole set, though.
 
Looking at his picture:

You can clearly see the CI on the $5. There's also a hint of the CI on the 25c, $1 and $20 but it looks smaller and very faint.

I don't think there was a $20 in the original lot, nor any fracs but I'm not sure. I have 4 racks of 5c but yellow (I think originally from @Mr. Cheese ). I also have both yellow and orange $20. This is the first time I've seen the green 50c but they look exactly the same as the original $25.

@Jagamov ran a buy from GOCC a while ago and added dark blue $1 and orange $20s. It would be nice to build a history of these chips given there were multiple orders and customs from PGI and GOCC. Anyone know any definitive details?
 
I had some custom orange 20s made by PGI as well. I believe @CdnBeerLover is correct about the original denoms. All of the $20s were custom though.
 
According to this thread on CT
http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/threads/possible-one-time-gb-for-yak-casino-gaming-chips.83704/

Original denoms were $5, $25, $500, $1000.

PGI designed and added $100, 25c, $1 (post 17) with the CI marking and UV (post #30)

PGI then added a $5000 chip in red (post #131) and grey (#133). No CI or UV mark to my knowledge.

At some point, they added a $20, as per post #142. Again, no CI or UV mark to my knowledge.

Nickels were added by PGI after that. No CI or UV mark to my knowledge.

Hello, I believe the above is correct. I purchased a couple different sets to create this one but is was quite a bit ago. If you need more photos let me know.
 
Yep... the only original chip in that lineup is the $5 chip.

You can see the difference in the cherries. The artwork done by PGI on the replacements was weak.
The GOCC replacements done recently nailed the artwork.
 
I would be willing to split into 2 sets as long as I have 2 buyers and they can agree on the split denomination
 
Everyone is correct about the chips and the denoms. The easiest way to tell the originals from the PGI fracs is to look at the artwork. The $5 chip has much clearer and more defined artwork than the PGI fracs. Quite frankly the PGI fracs are not that great.

When I had GOCC make new ones, I sent them some PGI chips to get the colors right and they had the better artwork. So all of the chips I had made for the GB had the correct artwork and the correct edge spots. They turned out awesome.
