Unfortunately my sample collection is nowhere near big enough to do any sort of proper color matching. But someone who has a sample set volunteered to help with that, so a single is en route and we'll nail this down for sure soon enough 
Appreciate you laying that out! I think you're on target with Ice blue, dark brown and almond. Not sure about that pink though. We'll find out shortly!

I got the single and the official results are in!
These are some damn good guesses. You got 2.5 out of 4 colors correct.
Ice Blue base with Almond, Peach, and Chocolate tri-moons.
EXCELLENT and very color accurate photo! As soon as I saw it, and before I read the text below the photo, I thought, “That looks like Peach and Almond!”
I’m curious, what phone or camera did you use?
I use an external light source and a lot of finagling in the phone camera "Pro" mode. Just about every setting was adjusted to get the chip portrait to come out as best I can (white balance, iso, f stop, focus, etc.. etc..)
I'm hoping to get an actual mirrorless camera, then I can really see what I can do.

At the risk of thread crapping, and as someone who has harvested a bunch of racks (Meaning I understand the work involved) ... you are still at 16x face value; that's gonna be a hurdle for many.
But as to my guess for how low ... $225 to $275.

I appreciate your feedback! I sold one rack for $500 when the casino first opened, which is why I started there. But if it goes down to that, so be it!
I think the 16x face is kinda irrelevant. It's more about the effort to get them, than the comparison to face value. So far how many other racks of these have been offered anywhere? Here or on eBay? So far as I can tell, this is the first time they have been offered up for sale publicly as a rack.

If they make it to the $200-$250 range in probably a buyer.
The biggest downfall these chips have is the decimal and cent symbol... that's slightly off putting. Otherwise, very beautiful tri moons

LoL, I know how triggering that can be to some people. Things are about to get interesting here. I've gotten private messages from a couple people that said they're close to pulling the trigger. I have a feeling they'll be gone by the end of the week.

I'm one of the people caught up on that tiny little decimal place. Who knew something so small could cause such a large distrubance

It's always the small details that get overlooked until it's too late
I would probably take a small chisel and scrape the offending "dot" right off of these. After all, it's just a hot stamp.
You would just need to make sure that they are clean, so the fresh clay under the hot stamp matches the rest of the chip.
You would lose the cross hatching for that tiny area... so, I don't know if that would still appease the OCD. But at least they would be a proper 25¢ frac.
Also, for as disparate as these colors are, this chip is pretty striking in person. Even though I personally don't like brown colors on my chips, it seems to work in this instace.
And, the peach colored moon lights up under UV light. (If this matters to you.)
I would gladly use these as a frac in one of my sets, but they would be snagged by someone else before they would reach my price.
Back up dibs if @innacanoe changes his mind.
I purchased the first rack and @Carnth’s photo of these chips is spot on! You need to see them in person to see how vibrant these chips are. So glad I have a rack of these. Thanks to @Teach42 for selling. Great seller.
