Wonderful sets

Both are very well done.

But a custom hotstamp, with sweet TRK-style denoms? I'm weak in the knees!

 

[Klobberer]

'Merica! ASM clay hotstamps! Although those Swedish ceramics are pretty.

What does HMK stand for?

What does HMK stand for?

I think he explained in the original reveal thread that its his initials...

 

[Klobberer]

I wish I could remember all the content of every thread I ever visited, but I don't think that will ever happen. I have a case of the 50's...

 

[HMK]

It's my intitials, but also short for his majesty the King ("hans majestät konungen" in swedish) So it's sort of a play on that with the crown on the label. Kind of funny since i'm not much of a fan of monarchy, haha.

Just checked out the cash set and one of those 20s would look great in my 20 single collection.

Pm your adress and i'll send you one.

I'm pretty sure that custom ceramics shouldn't be competing with vintage hot stamps...although in 2020 I guess anything goes. On the bright side, my wife got vaccinated today! J&J one and done...

Ok, I know old school hot stamp fans are not very tech savvy, but c'mon hit the like button. Wait, that's YouTube...nevermind.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Both sets are very nice.

@Klobberer maybe in your game a $20 is more relevant than a $25 but since the color of the chip is purple I'd have made it a $25 to follow the Cali colors. That's the only think that I could say about the set. For the rest, it's awesome. I love the font of the denoms too !

 

[Klobberer]

I'm a $20 slut. My collection of $20 singles is up to 207 different chips.

 

[Klobberer]

And a lot of them are purple...

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Mmh ok. I thought $20 were mostly black and $25 purple. Anyway great looking set !

 

[Klobberer]

Most are black, yellow or brown. But one of my favorites...

 

[SteveHNo96]

I cast my vote. NGL, it's a tough call but the HMK bounty chips were the deciding factor in voting for them. I love the color scheme on that one. The cash 20 on the Turk's head has put me about 15 seconds away from suddenly being a fan of the hot stamps.

The HMK set is so clean, just down my alley. Well done
