Found this auction. Know the name but not sure if he's an active member here. *Picture borrowed from listing*:

I'm not sure that's a "moon" spot. It's probably a "v" spot. The other side of "v" spots often look like that. I could be wrong though.
 
That’s my auction. I’m ledavatar from CT. It was an old screenname that I’ve used for a long time but a couple of years ago I had a bunch of accts hacked and just decided to move forward with a new screenname going forward. Not trying to confuse people, I just didn’t think anyone cared.

Anyway, correct that this is a brand new pattern. Here are the old 33 "official" pattern variations. Of course, these don't show pattern variations such as single spots, etc.



I think the two "carnation" colored spots are called "1/2 round" inserts. Size wise, they are bigger/fatter than the “V” but smaller than the “moon.” It is almost a W, but a W is more triangular and has an inner insert. Here's what I measure on my caliper in terms of sizing:
"1/2 round" insert = 0.46"
"W" insert = 0.55"
"V" insert = 0.30"
"Moon" insert = 0.76"


Here's another example of this "1/2 round" insert. Not my chip, unfortunately (pic borrowed from CT).


And if anyone is paying attention, you will note that "carnation" is a new 2015 color.

 
This whole album may have been the last funny thing adam Sandler ever wrote.

very true. we discussed this over in the movies thread and i'm pretty sure this was my cutoff for funny sandler material.

interesting. i remember being a bit confused when i saw the "rounded 8V" pattern on Parx's $100 chip. even weirder, it appears they ordered some 8V and some with this rounded spot. at the time i remember thinking that maybe the rounded version was a screwed up 8V cut.

I think that's because there are also "1/4 round" inserts which have the same base dimension as a "1/4 V." That chip you showed is probably a 1/4 round.
 
Behold, the 5 new Paulson colors…


The previous offering was 84 colors (including royal blue), plus these 5 colors = 89 colors total. Royal Blue is technically discontinued but can still be purchased as a reorder only.

I knows a guy who knows a guy…

Sorry to be coy, but they are industry guys who will not be named. I literally spent thousands of $$$ buying other cool chips before I can buy this new set of colors. There were lots of people waiting for these new colors. I was lucky to have it.

Anyway, stay tuned, I got some chip pr0n coming soon to share the wealth.
 
Glad to finally make the sleepypiggly=ledavatar connection..... was wondering why you never moved over from CT, and couldn't quite put my finger on the new moniker, but it seemed 'familiar' somehow.... :)

A positive for the chipping community, regardless of who/where.

Plot twist... I am actually John Boy.

Lol sorry couldn't resist. I'm glad he's purged from this forum at least. :p
 
I have some chips, where the 8v looks like a v on one side, but round on the other side. I just assumed it was due to compression molding.
