I do like and prefer the Atlantic City to AC. The other one says to me, "Come to our Taj Mahal casino, we have air conditioning!"

If this gets off the ground I will definitely contact him, even if I'm not the one that runs it. Seems like CC will be the way to go with these

This would be amazing if we can get a new CC color/edgespot combo out of it.
I'd say so. Unless you can get china clays produced with difference edgespots on each denomination.

You mean like the Dunes?
Well look at that, you're right. I never noticed. That's progress!

I like the CPC's, but I know that the price would put me right out.

Very cool looking options. Definite interest here.
Nothing wrong with going with hybrids that ~look~ like those CPCs, though (minus the A-mold markings).
Slightly concerned about the small size of the "Atlantic City" text, however. May be best to just leave it blank.

Good to see we've had some serious discussion about this since I posted last night. At least I know I don't have the delete the thread. Sounds like this could become a serious GB

Not only that but with the CC we could have Taj Mahal stamped into the outer edges like the real deal chips same as Dunes

If there is any concern about using the Taj Mahal logo, you could always flip it...

I thought all AC Cash chips had to have the denomination in the mold. how did this one happen?

Level of interest for me is:
China Clay - (y) :thumbsup:
Hybrid - Hhhmm...probably not once the Boardwalks go through
CPC - (n) :thumbsdown:

I actually agree with this and feel like this is how most people would feel. However I am open to the hybrids. But do we really want 2 AC sets in the same mold? That's the thought I've been having

Yyyyyup. Too many hands in the Sunfly hybrid cookie jar at the moment.
Unless...Unless...we can get an under 50-cent price point by adding more chips...
Which we can't..........
Right?
No interest here whatsoever in a china clay version..... the required silver tint on the cheap factory labels is a deal-breaker with these for me (and I suspect many others). The design screams for a high-res printed true white label.
It would add some extra expense (about 10c/chip for 40,000 chips), but Sun-Fly is capable of creating a custom mold with the casino name actually engraved in the mold (rather than printed to appear engraved). At roughly four grand, It would be too costly to have a separate denom mold for each denomination chip, however. Given these are intended as tribute chips, there is some degree of artistic difference that can still be considered acceptable.
Agree, printing mold characteristics on ceramics is tricky at best, and often can actually cheapen the end result rather than embellish it.

I'd say let's figure this out now...what would these cost per chip to get done as CPC?

I wouldn't mind if we did hybrids and it just looked like the word was stamped into the mold. Like how the Boardwalks have the fake gold ring, we could lighten the shade of "Taj Mahal" to make it look like it's stamped in. But again, two AC sets in the same mold seems like too much. But if it's the best option to maximize sales on this, I'll do it. My only fear is that bring hybrids keeps people away because of the Boardwalks. And at this rate, this GB may get off the ground and completed quicker than the Boards.
I'm assuming there's nothing in between CC and hybrids? Again, I'm still a rook in this realm of custom chips.

Figure between $1.75 and $2 per chip for CPC.
Based on Tommy's post (#42) on the A-mold:
25c = $1.57 (LVL 1)
$1 = $2.96 (LVL 7)
$5 = $2.18 (LVL 4)
$20 (yellow) = $2.18 (LVL 4)
$25 = $3.46 (LVL 9)
$100 = $3.46 (LVL 9)
$500 = $2.71 (LVL 6)
This doesn't include additional CPC fees for paypal/taxes/design fees (if any)

Unfortunately there are no CPC quantity discounts.

Wellllll that's a matter of perspective. Numerous casino chips are on the same mold, same ceramic blanks, numerous custom sets on the same molds, etc. Spots and labels set them apart from each other.
anyone poopooing on the sunflys and haven't handled them need to get a barrel and play with em for a few minutes and pretty sure you will change your mind. That said I only have 43mm Boardwalks and they are fawesome, I have heard the 39mm feel a little different and I will find out when I get GOT samples.
if this can wait 6 months or so and these are sunfly I am prob in for at least 800, prob still in for CC's. i will get my customs on CPC
