Since its late 2015... info, opinions, and availability, probably have changed. I sure don't mind revisiting the topic here. :

The colors are nice, but that mold...it's not quite as bad as the Paulson Chips mold, but it's not much better, either.

I'm guessing plastic. Maybe a soft plastic but plastic none-the-less. The edge spot smears and lack of clay transfer to the lighter colors is kind of a give away. The outside edge of the chips edgespots (especially onto the lighter colors) usually smear when lathed down. The edges look so damn sharp so whether sanded or lathed clay would have smeared where as plastic has a higher melting temp.

Looking more closely, the texture looks pretty decent. Not smooth and not too much.

I immediately thought it was a clay ...
but, stickers ...

Definitely plastic. Looks like the ones in the photo have been edged to be razor sharp.

coin inside?

No slugs at 9.5 grams. I'd guess similar materials/process to the plastic injection-molded NexGen Pro line of chips.... and at the same price point.

The same company that was selling them in 2013, I see.

@maxim_666666 - I'm not sure whether they're china clays or plastic chips similar to Nexgen. The latter is more likely, IMO, because the price point is the same; china clays would probably cost a bit more. At 9.5g they're not slugged, so that's a point in their favor. One thing for sure -- they are not genuine clay compression molded chips like chips made by Paulson, CPC, or BCC.

 

[maxim_666666]

This is true...
it would be interesting to look at them from the inside. when they are broken

The OP picture really does have them looking like true clay. But in other pics, not so much.

The $25 even has a fleabite.
