I looked in the chip guide but couldn't find a size. I may have missed it. Thanks!

More importantly, are they 14g official casino weight?

What do you mean size?...they are standard 39mm. I don't think they have any oversized chips

If it’s not $1000 or above I think it’s safe to assume all casino chips are 39mm with the exception of those 36mm horseshoe tourney chips

There are very few chips that are anything other than 39mm. Foxwoods are 39mm..
Horseshoe Cleveland and Cincinnati are 36mm
there are some chips that are 44mm, these are typically Large denominations.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!
Uh, no.
There are lots of chips that are not 39mm, although most casino non-baccarat cash checks smaller than $1000 are 39mm.
The Horseshoe Cleveland and Horseshoe Cincinnati cash sets are both 39mm with 43mm $1000 and $5000 chips. Some of the tournament sets are 36mm.
43mm chips are often used for baccarat, large cash denominations ($1000+), and tournament sets.
The only clay 44mm chips are produced by ASM/CPC, and afaik, aren't used in any casinos.

Well, still the vast majority of chips are 39mm diameter.

I thought one of the major casino plastic lines was 40 mm...? B&G, Bud Jones, or something similar?

What about this beauty headed to my house as we speak.. spinettis says 42mm which I have never herd of... @FordPickup92 found one for me last week and this one I just found today... only oversized frac I know of. @BGinGA do you know of any others?

Please compare it to a verified 43mm chip (if you have one). I'd be shocked if this was actually 42 mm. IHC hotstamp 50c, I think I'm in love!

Waiting for the first one to arrive... I agree most likely 43mm IHC but i feel like spinettis knows chips! Probably just a typo! I have many 43s and will definitely check when it arrives buddy! Still the only IHC frac that I know of... there was one on the chip board that Brie missed about 2 months ago and we have been on the look out ever since!! I had to buy the second one before posting or someone would have grabbed it! Lol they are a bit pricey but can't wait to add them to the collection! And no Mark I won't be chasing a rack of these if you would like to start! Haha
looks vintage. maybe its worn down a bit
It's a 43mm IHC mold. I have that one plus I think one other 43mm frac in the collection -- will have to check when I get home.
But yeah, not many 43mm fracs out there, and not very many hot-stamped 43mm chips, either.

Actually, that's not true, either. In terms of shear quantity, 40mm rules the world. Most made in China.

Definitely if you wouldn't mind sharing the other frac! I can't wait to hold one of these!! I didnt think there were others but I'm sure it's possible!

He said chips. You musta read it as 'shit'...
But China's only recently in the game. The vast majority of anything anybody is interested in around here is 39mm diameter.

I don't see an additional IHC frac on the chip guide but they do Have IHC $5, $25 and $100 shown as current! I doubt these are in play but would love to know... a rack of 5s actually worth harvesting at face value and no hard feelings afterwards!! damn it why is Wisconsin so far away? Any volunteers willing to find out??

Question, what is the reason behind 39mm becoming industry standard? It seems very particular compared to simply landing in say, 40mm. Would be interested to hear the history of anyone knows

I think it's because that's the same size as a US silver dollar coin (1.5" diameter). Could be totally wrong, though.
My best guess is that the initial hobs and mold cups were machined to 1-5/8" diameter (1.625") with plans to machine the excess flashing down to a 1-1/2" (1.5") final product diameter (some older TRKs are actually this size). And at some point, less material -- only the minimum amount necessary -- was removed during the machining/grinding phase, resulting in a somewhat 'standardized" 39mm (1.53543") final diameter.
Just a guess, though. @gmunny @PAZ @David Spragg ?
But they aren't the same size -- US silver dollars are 1.5" diameter (38.1mm).
