Wanted ?? $5s For Mixed Set (1 Viewer)

[ruskba]

Thinking of building a mixed set, and want to see what's out there! I'd like 2-4 racks of $5s and a couple barrels of $25s. Only stipulations are they must be Paulson, preferably THC mold, and they should not be mint to match the condition what I'm building around.

Current potential lineup:

Thanks!

I have some I need to list tonight. Hawaiian Gardens 50¢ and Aztar $5. I'll comment here when they go up.

It would help if we knew the colors and/or spot patterns of the other chips. Honestly it would help if we saw pics. of the other chips but I get that you want it to be a secret. Does it have to be fifty centers or could they be quarters?

 

[ruskba]

I guess it was silly to withhold, it's not like people aren't going to try and sell chips they want to sell.

So I fell in love with this chip and I can't explain it.

But I think the Horseshoe Cinci $5 is one of the most uninspired chips I've ever seen. So mixed set it is! I'm not opposed to quarters, but if I get .50s then it's a denomination that I don't already have and I might be able to get a few less eye rolls from my wife.

I agree, that's an awesome $1 chip.

I posted the chips for sale that I mentioned earlier. Maybe you'll see something you like: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/spring-cleaning-chip-sale.19687/

Alright, thread updated. Time to find me some $5s!

Maybe the Golden Eagle $5 chip?

I did contact Spinetti's and they have those, but for some reason blue seems to clash with the blue on the $1 in my eyes. Great looking chip, though.

 

[Fleming]

Hmmmm. There's also the Par-A-Dice $5 chip, which is pretty easy to come by. Shaped inlay goodness, classy and simple.

 

[ruskba]

I do have a barrel of those and a hometown connection. I'll take a look.

I wasn't really thinking of selling any of these, but, PM me if you're interested in these as your $5 chip. Not sure that the color works well with your 50cent and $1 chips???

 

[churlbut18]

I would suggest sticking with darker inlays. Maybe something like the Grand Vic's, Chips, PNY's, etc...

 

[ruskba]

I do agree about the dark inlay. Now if someone was just selling some...

I appreciate the offer, but I'm not much of a fan. Definitely not locked in on a red $5, though.

The PAD idea got me thinking about the $25, which I think could work. Updated the OP with a new image.

Looking for some PAD $25s if anyone has any to sell!

Not sure, but maybe @chkmte ?

I like the look of the Horseshoe Cleveland $5s with this lineup, but maybe chips that are in slightly better condition to match the condition of the Cincy $1s.

 

[chkmte]

There's a rack of PAD $25 on eBay right now for $89. However, I can also sell you as many racks as you need.

Thanks for the mention @AWenger.

 

[ruskba]

Still need to fill in the blank!

(Pretty sure I'm gonna relabel the $2s as hundos...)

 

[chkmte]

perhaps you could go with...Aztar Indiana primary or secondary $5 chips. they have about the same amount of wear I believe and the colors are pretty nice.

 

[bivey]

The Golden Eagles are gorgeous but they have both blue and white and are this difficult to pair with other chips. Empress $5s would work and they are inexpensive. Two choices to pick from.

Casa $5 fits your progression reasonably well (0, 2, 3, 4), but not your precise THC mold plans.

 

[slisk250]

If you are still looking in July and 3 racks of yellow Casino de Mexico 5s work for you, let me know.

I do agree that the progression lends itself to a 3D14 spot. Those are a good suggestion.

Those are really great chips. Might have to switch up my $25s if I go that route to get some better contrast between the two.

Spinettis has Claim Stake and Sundance as options...but the house mold on the Sundance bums me out a bit. The Claim Stake are uncirculated, and they sure are pretty.
