What are the blue specks? Pure lead? Haha

Put a few SD on the press, the wear is significant enough for it not to fit my jig snug enough, got a MM or more play, where it shifts around as you are trying to place it.

Millable, but may need a tweak or so to the chip holding rig to get consistent centering.

Definitely spices up overall goodness to label them.
There are almost no readable denominations. On the 1s and 5s.

SD new-ish 1s harvested whilst cleaning.

Out of 640 chips, there were 64 obviously square, new SD 1s mixed into the racks.

Wonder if Jim mixed in 1/10 ratio like that or if it’s just a coincidence.

Way nicer than the others, stamps almost fully intact, barely played.

Did you get any SD $5s? I'm hoping to find something similar. 10-15% in good condition would make me happy.
 
Okay, SD1s, sorted through pretty good. 640 chips,
75 new awesome chips,
Sorted out about 50 chips that were spinners/flea bite.

5 solid racks with plenty of spares, worn, but stack like bricks, zero flea bite leaded goodness.

Gotta separate those new ones though, they don’t belong with the rest. I’ll trade them for SD2s.

These were just hand washed with simple green and tumbled in large towel, still have to actual clean them.

Pretty happy with these 5 racks, combined with the 3 yellow 5 racks, that’s a pretty solid set of cash chips. :)

Thanks @TheChipRoom

Anyone using ultrasonic cleaner? Need some advice on what should I add in the water. First time doing so, any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I cleaned mine in the US. Simply added regular dish soap in there and it seemed to get the job done. I noticed some water getting under the edges of the shaped inlays, so test with a few chips first. Mine did dry up just fine afterwards though, but worth keeping an eye on.

What surprised me was how easy all the gunk came off though.

Dibs on the minty :)

Similar results. 1000 ordered, 100 minty. So maybe there is something to this 10% conspiracy theory
 
Any Europeans / UK fancy selling a couple of barrels of the Elsinore $2’s?

P-please

My shipment is still stuck in La. :mad:
any other international orders having the same issue?

Yeah, I've stopped using paypal shipping labels for international shipping, because they all route through LA, and take an extra couple of WEEKS to ship, compared to printing shipping labels directly from USPS.com (or taking them to the post office). It's a pain, and it costs more than using paypal shipping. But the funneling everything through the distribution center in LA REALLY slows things down.
 
Elbow grease.

The 5s are in a bit better shape than I thought. significantly less tire-d than the ones. :)

Seriously, how bad was the fire that provided this soot? Did the casino burn down completely?

Gladly, they clean up nice.
Rinse after a hand scrubbing. :) that red/brown spot is mauve or maroon I think.

Thanks for posting! I've been waiting to see a few more pics. So these are from the "regular" Chiproom sale, correct? Not from the "extra-sooty and minty" chip group? Still not clear on how those were sold.

I'm still out of state so haven't seen mine yet. I hope I get some in this condition. Seems like I saw another post where the buyer got a lot of chips in worse condition than these. If I get a large percentage in good condition I may mill them and make them Cali $5s in my THC Texas Flood cash set.

These are from the regular sale. If I would have known there was a vip soot sale, I would have probably gone that way, but I am pretty stoked at having these chips at this price!

The fives clean up really well. Just are bastards to do right. Lots of delish things in this sale. Best sale he's had in a really long time IMO.

This is just 4 standard racks cleaned up over.... 8-9 hours.
