Here's three of the five denoms. The other two should be here by the end of the week.

Railroad road pass, Golden nugget and tropicanas?
Correct, with uncirc. Dunes $5's and uncirc. Sundance $25's coming. The Golden Nuggets are in generally fanastic shape, as are the RR Pass. The Trops easily have the most wear, and they're not even that bad (particularly considering they're over 40 years old).

Very nice!
 
Love the looks of the Nuggets....I'm kinda surprised these aren't more popular here in mixed sets....great looking blue, nice yellow edges and a pretty decent inlay. Good luck with your set!

Me, too...and to be honest, I didn't even think of it myself! It happened that my harvester was staying there and when he told me that I basically had a "Duh!" moment and said those would be perfect. And really, the're great...and a little quirky. About 15% of the chips have the G N mirror imaged/reversed in the ovular part of the mold.

I just harvested about 40 golden nugget chips. Im staying across at 4 queens.

I'm going to get a full rack or 2 before I leave.
Just sit at the 2/4 or 4/8 limit poker tables and start sorting!

4 queens have mint $1 chips on the floor as well. I got a few. I may get a rack to before I leave.

I managed a mint rack of NYNY $1 chips too.

@stocky need anything? Easy enough for me to ship to you from back in Australia.

I'm good. Thanks buddy.
 
Hey, I think I like it.

I need to update my pics sometime because I substituted the Gold Coast Fracs with El Cortez although I keep going back to the Gold Coast. When I put mine together I was not so sure about the progression from the Dunes to the Sundance but it did it anyway. The Golden Nugget works great with the set. I think they look great!!

Congrats

Dunes to Sundance honestly isn't optimal from a coloration perspective, but there's also not a lot of great options available at that slot. I *could* have put the Trops there, but then I've got an even wider range of conditions than I'd prefer. I could have used the Dunes $25 and found something else for the $5, I suppose - Bourbon Street's, maybe? - but then I more than likely would have been either losing out on the house mold (and five denoms/five molds is kinda cool), or losing out on condition.

As it stands now I'm very satisfied with what I have. I *may* look at getting a rack of Gold Coast fracs so that way I have five house molds, but that's probably a concern for the distant future. Too many other irons in the fire at the moment.

That is the fun of a mixed set. It continually changes. I went through the same thought process but I felt good when I went with for my set. Great set!
 
The set looks great! I really like the Golden Nugget $1's!

Congrats on a stellar Vegas set.
 
Great job. Great set. I was one of those who did not initially favor the house molds with a bias towards THC/RHC, but this set is fantastic. I know the pink frac ties into the pink spot of the $25 and $100, but you don't have the pink in the $1 or $5 so I don't think you have to hang onto that pink frac for that reason alone. I think swapping out the frac with a house mold would be the icing on an already fantastic set, allowing your 5 denominations to be tied together based on that fact rather than color synchronization or spot progression. Let the journey continue. And if you decide to stop here, it works too!!
