Has Anyone Ever Partially Stamped an Already Hot Stamped Chip? (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

I want to stamp chips with a new denom, but keep everything else intact.

It's either impossible or far too intensive/exact to have done by any of the mass hot stamp providers/vendors.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but I *just* want to put a new denomination on the chips, like below, replacing the "2" with a "5". I dont want to murder or whatever you call it to all the chips, because for me they lose their luster of being Vegas chips once I do that. Yes, I understand they are destroyed once I remove the 2 and add a 5, but it feels cool getting the chips into a cash set and play as close as possible to their initial state - if that makes sense at all.

Have looked online at some things like below, but guessing that others have tried something like this and might be able to tell us what definitely doesn't work, and what might work. Willing to spend money on the solution to get it done, but don't necessarily want to go through trial and error of 5 different options/machines if we don't have to.

I know you can't triple stamp a double stamp.

I can do it. I just don't think you are gonna get a great return on "perfect to great". Like I've stayed in PM. It would make more sense to mimic that stamp, defoil it, add the five, and restamp, then at least once the die is centered, it's going to look exactly how you Invision.

Doing it the way you want is pain train city.

And I'm not saying that because I'm some boss ass bitch.

On my best day the way you want, I'd get 30-40 passes a rack. You'd prob be lucky to have a 50% pass rate due to rotation and centering. And that's if these chips were all stamped in the same run, if these are mixed floor, 50% might be shooting high

I know I know. The only downside is if I go that route where I’m dropping thousands on the set, I feel like I’d rather do a full custom stamp. And then if I’m doing that, why go rhc. Lol and now suddenly it’s a project.

Idk what I was hoping for, maybe someone who had used a crazy manual by hand stamping thing where it’s not as high scaled and not requiring a ton of alignment.

If it simply can’t be done, the next plan is still going to you to redo everything but the $1s as Paris hotstamps.
