Harrahs New Orleans NCV THC chip sale (5 Viewers)

I have all the info and pics here:

Great gallery!

Only just noticed this… I wonder why the typeface for the denoms on the 25 and the 25K is not consistent with the rest.

The rest of the set uses a blocky, sans serif display font for the numerals, whereas the two denoms above use a serif face.

The blocky numerals are themselves slightly inconsistent in their widths and shapes, but that was probably due to space considerations. See for example the 5 on the T5 vs. the 500. But they are all roughly in a similar camp, unlike the serif denoms.

Odd.

(This is why no one will buy these and I will have to scoop them all up in pity for Jim.)

It's "Harrahs Casino" chips in the sale though right? Those have some differences in colors from the "Harrah's" chips? I'd like to see some pron and color spec info on those if available.

Correct.

Those have some differences in colors from the "Harrah's" chips? I'd like to see some pron and color spec info on those if available.

This photo is from Jim:

Colors look mostly the same to me from his photo. I think you would only be able to tell the difference if you zoom in real close. Or hold up one of each chip and really scrutinize. The differences could be mistaken for lighting or even varying degrees of dirt.
But I don't know--I don't' have a "Harrah's Casino" set to evaluate!


@ everyone: I would love to be able to borrow 10 of each chip of the "Harrah's Casino" version to document them like I did the "Harrah's" version.
Please PM me if you get a set and wouldn't mind loaning me your chips.

Great gallery!

Thank you!
Shout out once again to @Gorbash for loaning me the higher value chips so I can complete documentation of the entire set.

I don't know why that is either. But it looks like they fixed it in the "Harrah's Casino" version.

So are these leaded? Or no info?

The Harrah’s are leaded. There’s no definitive info on whether the Harrah’s Casino chips are leaded. A couple of members have commented that they think the Harrah’s Casino chips are probably partially leaded, but unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any definitive info.

 

[PlaidDragon]

Correct.

Excellent shot. Thank you!

But.... the "5" ?

 

[joker80]

Do the golden tickets still have a 500-post requirement?

Historically , yes. They only are a giveaway once or twice a year

I'll have to get my numbers up for the next one.

For those who need to know, the science of testing for lead is well established. $9 on Amazon....

Not next to each other but same lighting that Jim posted with the weight.

 

[Carnth]

Hmmm...

Depends how many there are and how many people are seeking them.

It's hard to say. Depends on demand. If you want to purchase, I recommend being ready when the sale starts.

 

[UniLover]

Milliseconds.

I can check in on Southwest and get As no problem but have not been able to buy any TCR sales.

 

[Carnth]

Milliseconds.

Not exaggerating.

1000 milliseconds is one second. And that's happened before on high demand chips.

If you want to purchase, I recommend being ready when the sale starts.

Nothing but NCV tournament chips in this sale.
Just what you see in the OP.

It'll depend on quantity. But it's basically 3 clicks for a Tourney set, and it'll still be a race. Even though it's a little easier than the usual multi clicks with X amount per chip.

Would imagine there will be lots of 5s available at $2 per chip.

Keep in mind, these are T5 tournament chips, not $5 cash chips, so I don't think I would assume there will be a huge number of them.
