PCF's Favorite $20 Casino Chip - nomination thread (1 Viewer)

[Okku]

UNDISPUTED!! My favorite chip ever by a long run!

Then, I just got one of these yesterday for my collection. I've had my eyes on it for a long long time. Nothing beats a black/yellow quarter pie.

Not sure whether or not these were ever put into play (expecting a DQ), but a little more pron never hurt anyone. Doesn't matter anyway with those Stardust $20s nominated .

EARLY PREDICTION:

The Final will boil down to two old-school choices -- Nevada Club (TRK) vs Stardust (C&J), with the winner reflecting the color pallette preferences of those voting at the time.

There are few chips as graceful as the Stardust, and none as loud as the Nevada Club.

Good shout on Snowbank. I’ll try to take a high res and a splash pot pic when I am back in London.

The Nevada Club has one too many colors and the Stardust has one too few. But we’ll see what the voters say.

Agree. From what’s been nominated so far, I think the Cali chips are favorite

One of the best right here.

I'm really curious what we'd come up with for higher denims like $1k and $5k. Do we go for the flags? Loud blaze chips? Or weird cali non standard colored ones? We must find out!

Cocaine Giraffes were never in play. They are not eligible.

.25 .50 1 5 20 25 100 500 1000 5000

I might do a 2.50, but I doubt it - pepto bismol overload

The 1000 and 5000 contests don't have much to pick from, but I will try them anyway

In my (slightly) younger days when I was 19 I'd go on to chip guide to see what casinos Jim might get and I can promise there are lots of big chips out there. They're all just in Vegas or Cali I know Commerce has a live $5k thats mexican rose and 8v

No brainer here. All time great chip:

West

And of course the goat that needs no introduction.

[Grandmasturkey]

Palmas del mar 20...no great pics will steal from chip guide:

This doesn't do it justice tho imo

 

[Sprouty]

Stardust $20s....so hot, I think they might contain actual stardust.

I passed on a few singles a few years ago thinking the price was too high.

FML do I want one of these more than ever for the prices I passed on.

 

[FDLmold]

Thanks everybody for your contributions so far. I'll start compiling them this weekend and putting them into random groups. I know there are barrel and rack photos of some of these, and those photos have not appeared in the thread yet. If any of you would like to find them and post them here, that will save me a bit of work, and I'd appreciate that.

 

[liftapint]

This is going to be a TOUGH one. I changed my mind about my favorite. And it's not the Stardust either (although cool chip!).

This will be fun!

Agree on NV Club, screams circus clown to me.

But the Stardust line of that era is delicious and shows how simplicity can be sexy.

And that tiny color pop in the stars… so subtle and it works wonders. Folks may not notice it.

Agreed. And the Stardust has been my favorite for many, many years, though I've never owned even one.. Such simple elegance...

 

[AlbinoDragon]

The Stardust was on my list as soon as I saw this thread. Here's two others that I have in my collection... one I expect to get very little traction in the voting and the other probably quite a bit.

Came back to make sure that two other serious contenders were listed in this thread for your consideration:

-- Bellagio Poker $20, 2008 blaze orange house mold version (pictured in @davislane post #15 above)

--Crystal Park $20, black RHC mold (the filthy photo on chipguide does it no justice, but @kmccormick100 has posted some barrel/rack pics on PCF that really show off the peach / charcoal / sky blue spot colors)

Wait -- is that center spot actually metallic gold?

I think they’re Coffee? IIRC

Looks coffee to me.

I find that high res splash pot pictures are the best for these competitons, as opposed to barrels and racks pictures. Will try to get you more pictures for some of the chips nominated so far. Maybe @JeepologyOffroad can assist, he is the lucky owner of most of the goat $20

 

[MeridianFC]

There is much sexiness in this thread.
