Guess the value of this pot and win Paulson chips contest (1 Viewer)

[RowdyRawhide]

You posted two Empress and a PNY...

He just can't add

 

[HanShot1st]

At least a 12 gauge. Your new guess is much closer.

Do you have any Paulson chips right now? If not you'd be in a coin flip with another guy for the bonus chips.

No, i do not yet have the pleasure of owning a Paulson chip...

You can’t just have “one” Paulson chip. You need at least a stack of them to play and shuffle around with to get a feel for the chips and enjoy the sound of them clacking against each other.

Of course, there are different Paulson molds – LCV, SCV, RHC, different inlay types and sizes – hotstamps, small inlays, grand, giant, etc. and all of those feel a little different. Some heavier, some lighter, some prettier, some classier. Best to get a stack of those as well.

New chips feel different than old chips. Some like the buttery feeling of worn out chips. Some like the crisp looking sharp edges of new chips.

Then you gotta check out all the different edge spots, maybe different diameter chips.

Before you know it you’ve got a closet full of Paulson chips in your newly single apartment.

Congrats!

How many 1K and 500 chips were in the stack? I had 4 and 0 in my count (the NCV Paulson Pharoah threw me initially).

 

[dammitjim]

Total chips 100.5

These are all the chips over $100. I believe all of them except the Capones $500 should have been visible enough to guess.

So I'm drinking already and can't math. Looks like these guesses were close. Did I miss anyone?

Godzilla28 18888
sleepypiggy - 18776.25
bentax1978 - 17775.80
chiptalker 17905
gopherblue - 18436
Maxb - 17881
Labmonkey 17776
AKA_Tattoo - 17999.33

Drunk math says these are the top 3. gopherblue winning with a difference of $157. Will do sober math later to confirm.

gopherblue - 18436 - 18279 = 157
AKA_Tattoo - 18279 - 17999.33 = 279.67
chiptalker - 18279 - 17905 = 374

 

[MaxB]

gopherblue - 18436 - 18279 = 157

Wow, that was a good guess

 

[Forty4]

Again cool idea, fun contest. Thanks.

[BiGGyT]

Shenanigans!! Get the brooms!

I never saw 2 PNY$1000 in the pics, only 1 or the capone's 500 in either.

Was fun, thanks for the challenge

The Capones was one of the clues.

Both PNY $1k are visible here. One is pretty well hidden, but 'Yorker' is showing.

 

[Socraticd]

Only been on this new forum for a short while but why not take a stab. No Paulson's in my possession so I might get lucky

14763.83


That or "eleventy bazillion".

 

[BiGGyT]

The Capones was one of the clues.

What, you expect me to read too? DOUBLE SHENANIGANS!!!!
