Condition of used Cincy HS $5s (1 Viewer)

[fish72s]

I am starting a labeling project for a set of used Paulson RHCs.
The first 2 denoms are going to be the Diamondback $1s and the Chips (Bremerton) $25s.

I would really like to use the HS Cincinnati $5 as my 3rd denom.
From the picture on theChipExchange's sale thread, the condition of the chips seems to be close
to the Diamondbacks/Chips. The edges don't seem too rounded and they look like the recesses
should be deep enough for an unlaminated label.
Is this true? I thought I remember reading somewhere that these were beat to hell?
Maybe some are ok and some not so ok?

Cincy are better than Cleveland, i have $1s and they are not bad. You can always get some uncirculated from the seller, and some on eBay.

I've seen the new ones and they are sweet. But I need the condition to match the rest of the chips in the set.
Maybe I should just get samples

Here are pics of the Diamondbacks and Chips.

I would get samples. Unfortunately all I have are the uncirculated, so I cannot say. But the table $1s are same or better shape that the diamond backs and the $5s are same or better based on what I see,

Here are my $1s dirty and after ultrasonic, and the line-up so you can see the barrel.

Those $5s are new, right?
The condition of the $1s is about what I'm looking for, except in the $5s.

I have a bunch of 5s - they are a little more worn than the 1s. 5s in casinos get a lot of use. Still, they feel and stack great.

Do they have enough recess to take an unlaminated label?

Yes, $5s are "new" aka uncirculated

Bump.
Anyone have any pictures of the used Cincinnati $5s?
Anyone have a rack or 2 to sell?

Thanks.
These don't look too bad. Seems they would take a label.
I think I'll place a WTB ad; or PM the chipexchange.
