Dunes Nickel - What's the Best Color? (1 Viewer)

[echoseven]

Thinking about a Dunes cash set and getting some labels made for Nickels. Which one do you like best?

1

2 or 5 all day long... maybe 2 is best... that will allow you to use the $20 as a $20.

2... no question about it.

black nickel ftw

#2 - but put the nickel label on the blue chip and move the $1 on the white. It's really the only sensible thing to do.
in any
I got my set yesterday and used it in a two table game tonight. I'm most likely going to buy 200 $1 and swap the labels out with the white $500. When you stack the $500 and the $1000 together (we use a 5/6 starting stack) in any kind of less than optimal light it is hard to see the difference sometimes - even dirty stacks are hard to see.
Plus I'm kicking around swapping the $5000 with the $0.25. That brown just doesn't stand out enough for such a large denomination.

Agree with @BGinGA that black would be a great option, but since that's not one you listed, either 2 or 5.

Not any of your options but

Black nickel
Yellow quarter

Thanks all for the feedback! I had not considered black, mainly cuz I just associate it with 100's, but also I don't like that it would have the same spot pattern as the quarters.

I was initially leaning towards 1 or 2, but I got the samples yesterday and now that I'm seeing the lime $20 in person with the other chips I'm leaning that way... or maybe it's from watching the Seahawks:

The lime is just so damn sexy and would see more action as nickels than if I used them as $20. Maybe I'll relabel some blacks to use as $20.

The yellow 1K is pretty sick too, but spot pattern is a little too much for nickels I think. It'd be sweet to turn the yellows into $5's, but not sure I want to deal with that much relabeling.

#2 with a yellow $20.

 

[mummel]

I like the green. The other colors dont contest enough IMO.

5 for me with 1 coming in a close second

#2 with a yellow $20.

Hadn't thought about a yellow $20, I kinda like that!

 

[BoyWonder]

I'd go with #2. I like #5 also, but ultimately think the bright green draws too much attention to the lowest denom chip.

The lime $20 is perfect because it's a lime $20. If it was a lime nickel, it wouldn't be perfect.

Yeah, that's a good point... reconsidering #2.

Not perfect, but a really cool nickel? No?

I'm a little biased. The Dunes baccarat $20 is my favorite chip.

 

[72o]

After thinking more about this...I still like the green for your nickel. Then make the yellow the fiver and call it done.

I hear ya, lime $20 is definitely better, but just wouldn't see much play for a low roller like me.
