Are these leaded?

After you shoot them, maybe.

Are these leaded?

I suspect they contain materials that are significantly more toxic than mere lead....

Yes I had a large set of milanos. They were not bad at all. Depending on what batch they were from they weren't too bad. To me the majestics were nice but very slippery at times. Dunes were so so on the slipperiness. Never had a complete set of royals but they didn't seem too bad from the sample. And Pharaohs seemed really nice but I only had a sample. These are definitely less slippery

Thank you for the detailed response! So sounds like Phoenix card room chips are better than Milanos in terms of colors and overall qualities; Phoenix card room chips are also better than Apaches in terms of slickness. Sounds like they are a pretty decent choice! Milanos I can’t seem to find a website with good availabilities.

I wish this could be an easier decision.

I have read so much great things about the web mold Tina here. I have ordered a sample set and am still waiting to receive them. I love ceramics as they are harder to chip/break, and the designs and availabilities are great. However, I don’t like the slickness due to it’s a harder material. I have high hope of the web mold Tina but I’m afraid the less slickness were due to the added texture, which would eventually fade away.

Therefore the China clay might still be my cheap choice in terms of handling/feeling. Just hoping my players won’t chip/break them too much.

Guess I'll have to perform a taste test

I have a sample set of these too. I like them for weight, texture, and colors. The Phoenix firebirds around the edges are nice, and the matching phoenix logo on the label looks good. The labels and the font size on the denominations is a little bit small, but not a dealbreaker. Although the marketing feels misleading/scummy, the design is very nice. They are currently in the top five of my maybe list. Were I to go with these, I would probably try and figure out how to relabel the light blue 0.25 cent chips into $50 dollar chips.

ugh the china clay bevel makes me cringe

Truly. If they could figure out how to make these chips with a square edge, they would be significantly better.

Just noticed the below. Paulsons and China clays being exactly the same confirmed.
