I didn’t realize there was 2 versions, the only one I have seen is the one in the 1st post with maroon and orange, do you happen to know what the other was or why there was 2?
What I remember is that some people did not like the first version and they wanted it to be brighter. Personally I like the one in the original post. Here is a picture of both side by side. I would like to confirm we are ordering the one in the original post since I have way more of them.

IIRC there were two GB's for the zens, where you were allowed to participate in run#2 only if you participated in run#1. In run #2 they changed the color scheme for the 1000 chip, so there is a V1 and a V2. I forget which one is which.
Yes there were 2 runs you were only allowed to be in run #2 if you were in run #1. My personal option is since you started with V1 you stay with version 1, no one else brought it up so I guess no one else cares but I would like version #1 which is what you posted.

I personally like both so I dont mind staying with the ones from the OP. If someone has a strong opinion about using the V2 please let me know we may be able to work something out.
I prefer the 1000's with the orange spots. The second version ( with the orange spots) looks better in person than the first (with purple spots) IMO. If at all possible I would like another rack of 1Ks with the orange spots.

Oh its much more black on the edges then I thought thanks
hundo is one of my favorite chips. The combination of white/turquoise and black is wonderful.
I've own a few Matsui chip sets. This issue always comes up so I took a rack of Zen $5's off the self and shuffled a barrel a few times and these chips
seem to have a matted surface on the outer ring. That makes them easy to shuffle and much less slippery as compared to other Matsuis. Zens were originally made in the late 2000's. Maybe that's what accounts for the difference. These are fantastic chips!
Thanks for that info. Good to know. These chips look very nice.
I have a sample set of the Matsui Zens. I have a full set of the Matsui Emerald Bay chips. In my opinion, the Emerald Bay chips are slicker than the Zen chips, but I only have a small sample size of the Zens.
That being said, the Matsui chips in general are slippery compared to clay or ceramic chips, the friction for the material just isn't there in the same way. Normally the slipperiness comes into play when moving large stacks of chips around, either players picking up big stacks or big split pots being counted out and then pushed across at the winners. I haven't been playing for decades like some on here, but in my games we've never had an issue sliding stacks of these across to a player. Maybe if you have 20 years of picking up a barrel of Paulsons and know exactly how much pressure to put on them you will find an issue with these, but not me. YMMV
