Majestic Star $25 bronze flakes? (3 Viewers)

[maxim_666666]

Can anyone give me a quick review on the Majestic Star $25. I can't tell from the pictures if the $25 anniversary has brass or aluminum flakes? The regular $25 does. But what about the anniversary?

I don't personally have any anniversary $25s, but my understanding is that they do NOT have metal flakes.

If I understand correctly, Paulson removed the flakes and added a micro dot.???

Hey, I'm new here and have never posted so don't know how much my input will help, but I do have a majestic star set and I'm not sure what you mean by the metal flakes. However, I will say that i got two extra barrels of 25 when I got my set and those chips are much much newer than the the ones in the set and the chips end up not being completely even in height and can be confusing when counting out stacks. Other than that, they are great chips!

Really it's a shame the majestic stars were so worn. They would have been a GOAT set otherwise. Even worn the red denomination chips specifically are fantastic (when clean).

Привет, я новичок здесь и никогда не публиковал, так что не знаю, насколько мой вклад поможет, но у меня есть набор Majestic Star, и я не уверен, что вы имеете в виду под металлическими хлопьями. Однако я скажу, что я получил два дополнительных ствола по 25, когда получил свой набор, и эти фишки намного новее тех, что в наборе, и фишки в итоге не совсем одинаковы по высоте и могут сбивать с толку при подсчете стеков. В остальном это отличные фишки!

I mean them. Many casinos add bronze or aluminum flakes to the body of the chip. And also microdots. If you can enlarge this dot enough, there will be an inscription. Something like this.

Ya, it really a shame they are so worn

I gotten a set of the Majestic from TCR sales too due the sheer cheap pricing and spend a lot of sweat equity cleaning up those chips.

Chips are so vastly different before and after cleaning

What do you do to clean them? mine are also in bad shape. I cleaned each by hand once, but scraping the grey gunk that builds up off of them was so laborious

The reds are great, but similarly, the old ones are rounded so some of the stacks dont look completely even in height.

Thank you.

where are you buying them? i am in need of a few more barrels of 25s and 100s

First, I used Ultrasonic Cleaner and a Degreaser (to decoil the oil/dirt) and washing powder for the first round of cleaning.

And hand cleaned them after that with magic easer with the help of toothbrush and toothpick when need to as well

Just a lot of hours of cleaning, life have been easier now that since I upgrade to procuring Mint / Excellent Condition Chips nowadays

Or wait for sales from Jim. Or on the secondary market. I made a deal with Josh from Apache. He had the amount of chips I needed at a good price. I think he also has a Majestic Star 25 (regular and anniversary) at a good price. Write to him.
