Up for your consideration, chips from my lot of razor sharp Elephant & Crown solids.

These Ruby Red with Gold Foil Stamping will play well in all settings; as $5’s or as nickels in a micro set. They are also a great acquisition of a noble and proud mold either as a set starter or part of a mixed mold set as they stack up wonderfully with molds such as DieCards, HHR’s, CSQ’s and other similar chips. As mentioned, they are stamped “MKJ” (unreportedly once belonging to Michael “King (of Pop)” Jackson.) The denomination is on the reverse. Very clean, stamps are in terrific shape, with only a few production run color variations, and they take edge oil wonderfully.

The off-white chips in this lot are equally as impressive edge-wise, would also kickstart a set build and also play wonderfully in mix mold settings. They were milled by a previous owner and two chips didn’t make it (so sad when elephants perish) and these two chips were replaced by eerily similar CSQ chips. They’re ready for labels and would indeed make for a great rack of $1’s.

These are in very good condition and like all chips of this caliber, crafted in this style, and from this era, shuffle wonderfully. And lest we not forget, they are razor sharp and stack as high as your card playing abilities allow.

The Elephant and Crown mold is proud, regal, noble, and will be a great addition to your poker chip cabinet, standing famously at the ready to grace your table with poker chip elegance.

White - 100 (98 and 2 CSQ)

Still plenty early. $50 a rack for these chips is unbelievable and could get it done. The biggest issue with buying these is that you'll be over anything but chips like these; the CPC and ASM awesomeness.

I have plans for the Rubies; two racks of nickels for the "Once in a Blue Moon micro-stakes game done with class, a barrel to my recently started Barrel Collection, and a possible mill project this summer to be transitioned into fracs. The Off-whites will be the first rack of that Mixed Mold Classic set, already milled and ready for labels.

If they go I'd be happy because so many chippers have no idea how awesome chips in this genre are.

Drop the $150. It might get it done. Or leave them to me. I'll overpost about the set as it comes along and make certain that anyone that considered taking a stab at these but didn't regrets it.

Cheers.

I’m going to have to meditate over this. If someone $150’s me while I’m typing this so be it. Otherwise, I love this mold, and like all the other molds in this genre; HHR’s, DieCards, CSQ, Romans, T, H, A, etc etc etc, the chips are amazing…

Can’t do it now. Cancelling.

Elephants!
