CSQ vs DSQ hot stamp (1 Viewer)

[maxim_666666]

Hi guys, I need your photos and advice. I couldn't find any pictures of solid chips on my own (I honestly tried) and hope that someone will respond and show them in the exact shapes and colors I'm looking for so I can compare.

The thing is, I'm still hesitating between CSQ and DSQ.

From what I feel, they seem completely identical to me. Although I should note that I only have three DSQ chips, while I have eight CSQ chips… It seems that CSQ would be more suitable for my theme and new hot stamp t500 set, as it provides more space for hot stamping and is more consistent in height. Additionally, CSQ is 30% cheaper.
However, I find DSQ to be more "solid" and not as youthful (if we can put it that way) compared to CSQ. Perhaps their higher price influences this perception.

In general, your opinions, photos, and advice would be really helpful to me.


But maybe I'm missing something? How will they wear over time?
Only DG colours

This is just a quick draft, but it will be a two-color stamp. Many thanks to
@LinkyBabe for helping with the pink and tiger.

My vote simply reflects my personal tastes and the fact that I’m not paying for the set.

You should note that CPC won’t hotstamp Diasqr, but will stamp CSQ, so something you need to consider. (Vendors here will gladly take your business.)

Edit: fixed typo

In my opinion, CSQ is the best feeling (shuffling) mold CPC offers. Almost buttery smooth right from the start. Downside is wear. The outer ring being so close to the edge makes it susceptible to flea bites. I have talked to a couple owners of that mold that have mentioned it.

DSQ is nice and some of my favorite CPC sets ever made has been made on that mold. It is a bit smooth for my tastes... but my taste may not be yours. I tend to lean more towards the more textured molds like B-mold, Jockey and HHR. Of course cost factors in. The mold is older and makes more chips that have defects that drive the costs up.

With your inlay my vote goes to DSQ. Or you could go totally off the grid with LCROWN. That would look damn good with your inlay as well. Good luck with your decision.

I was thinking about a crown, but I like chips with a ring. By the way, I noticed that if the chips don't come from a casino, then flea bites on the edge of the chip are rather rare for home games.

Put in for CSQ, but as a note, I’d adjust the text in some way. The numbers feel a little ‘off’ to me, especially the 100k

My circle square set has zero flea bites. I wouldn’t hold back for that reason. I’m thinking about CSQ solid hotstamped set myself as my final set ever.

My CSQ set has flea bites, mostly because I don't have a table with a rail and a laminate floor.

I would go DSQ because my pet peeve with that mold are circular inlays that can be off center and are pressed into the inner debossed ring. Hot stampa or shaped inlays would be a requirement for me to use this mold.

Damn! That hurts to hear. Fix it.
Can you take a photo?

I’m biased because I absolutely love my CSQ cash set, but I think I’ll second what @Huskerchipper said about an LCROWN mold for your specific hot stamp. I think that would compliment very well, and the LCROWN has a ring, unlike the SCROWN. The beauty is, you really can’t go wrong. Good luck!

I think DSQ mold feels really plasticy. CSQ has my vote if it’s between these two.

Interesting. No intention of derailing but I feel that (feels plasticy) way about Ewing.
Again, i think the best feeling mold CPC has straight from the factory is CSQ. Other molds feel great too after break in but that is irrelevant to this conversation. Imo, you can't go wrong with either mold.
