Intro
I've received my Horseshoe Cincinatti chips and I've created this thread to share some pictures, progress on the cleaning process, which fracs I've decided to use, etc...

Why Horseshoe Cincinnati ?
I've decided to buy Horseshoe Cincinatti chips for several reasons :
- They are one of the few Paulson sets which can still be bought - in quantity - at a good price ;
- I like the branding of the casino ;
- I like the movie "Cincinnati Kid", so it's nice to have a set from this city ;
- Even if they are faux-shaped inlays, I like the inlay shapes.

The breakdown
The set is mainly intented to be used for Texas Hold'Em No Limit games.
The game will be either a NL25 (.25 / .25) or NL50 (.25 / .50) game.
The set shall cover a full table (10 players).
So I decided to go with the following breakdown:
- $.25 x 100 (+ 10 spares)
- $1 x 200 (+ 10 spares incl. 1 very worn)
- $5 x 200 (+ 10 spares)
- $25 x 100 (+ 11 spares)

For the fracs, I've initially decided to go with Horseshoe Cincinnati T25 36mm. My choice went to these because they are solid and undersized, which I think is nice for fracs.
However, they are too close to the $25 than I would have expected. So I've chosen another chip for the fracs, still a solid 36mm: Horseshoe Cincinnati T1000. The labels have been produced by @Gear . For the fracs, I've decided to have plain labels (rather than "faux-shaped").

I let go the T25 36mm I intended to use as fracs and already selected their subs. Just waiting for the seller details to finalize the deal. :-)
 
Nice set! I really like the spot pattern of the $5, I just wish the brown spot was a different color, of blends in so much that it looks like it only has 2 colors, at least in pictures. Does it look that close IRL?
 
Thank you. Yes, the spot color is close to the chip color.
 
$1 have been cleaned. Before / after photos have been added.

My fracs labels and chips are on their way.
The new fracs chips will be the Cincy T1000. Label will be plain (not shape).

New pics added:
- the worst chip of the set: a $1 very worn ;
- the cleaning of the $5
- the new fracs (still to relabel)
 
Great set! I have a cash set of these as well for a lot of the same reasons. I decided to use the Cincy snappers for my quarters.
 
First pictures of the labels for the fracs have been added.
 
@TexasKev211 for now, I just did 140 chips (my spares and the fracs). Oiling takes me about 45 min per rack but then I let them dry for 12 to 24 hours. Then I remove the remaining oil with a towel. This part of the process takes me a little bit less than 1 hour per rack.

NB: very nice avatar. ;-)

I cannot edit the first post in this thread but some progress here :
- received the dealer buttons (big thank you to @Coyote who organized a group buy for that)
- all chips are now oiled

Still to do: relabel +/- 30 chips.

I’ll post pics when relabel is finished.
 
Unfortunately I cannot edit the 1st post.
So everything is now cleaned, oiled, relabelled. I got the dealer and the cards.
So the set is now complete !
A big thank to all the guys who helped me building this set !
