Silver Nugget - Tombstone, AZ | CPC HHR | Cash (4 Viewers)

[extreme517]

One of my favorite movies is Tombstone. There is a building still standing today that was built back in 1881 and it is currently a bed & breakfast named the Silver Nugget. This set is a tip of the hat to Doc Holliday. Background graphic on the 25c / $1 / $5 / $100 is a daisy: "You're a daisy if you do." Background graphic on the $20 for when you mean business in a 25c/50c game are huckleberries: "I'm your huckleberry."

I have ideas for another set (in the wake of CPC scouting for new ownership) that will involve color matched inlays and be a bit more artistic. My goal with this set was more of a "fantasy" set than a "custom" set; chips that looked like they came straight out of a card room. I wanted Cali colors because I did not have a Cali set until now and I wanted big red denoms.

I love a number of CPC molds, but went with HHR because it is tried and true...very consistent, stack like bricks, and certainly doesn't detract from the theme here. I must sincerely thank @David Spragg for working with me throughout the process; it has been a great experience and an incredible opportunity to be able to put together a set of CPC chips!

First look out of the box:

[ChipMonster]

Very well done. Simple and classic. What a difference shaped inlays make!

Yes, light blue. It's hard to show in photos, but it is definitely more blue than other older ASM/CPC light blues.

Rincon $1 / Key West $2 / New CPC light blue / Paulson:

Absolutely stunning set!

 

[Cratty]

[inapinch]

[TheChipVault]

Love it!

HHR vs. HHL:

 

[suchj0sh]

Bravo! Wonderful set.

 

[Rooster410]

So awesome! Love it. What CPC color red is the .25?

So awesome! Love it. What CPC color red is the .25?

I was going to go with Mandarin red, but took @TX_Golf_N_Poker's suggestion to do retro red and it could be my favorite chip! It has a slightly warm/pinkish hue to it whereas Mandarin red leans ever so slightly towards orange.

Retro Red / Mandarin Red / Red / old Horseshoe HHL chip:

These are awesome, love the inlays. Less is truly more. Canary is hated on so much, but look great here. (assuming that's your $5 base)

Yes, Canary base on the $5. Definitely not as bright as Paulson, but certainly a great color and I think these will break in very nicely.

CPC canary in the middle sandwiched by Paulson canary yellows (yes, these Paulsons are old dirty chips and yes, Paulson canary yellow is brighter in general if I cleaned up these edges):

These turned out amazing! Glad I could help just a little bit.

I love these retro reds! My inclination was to use all weighted base colors, but you stated your case and you were persistent. These quarters are your fault...LOL!

I'm also impressed with how well you Canary yellow chips came out. This is going to be the $1 if I get a set done. I think we may be using some of the same spots?

Yes, my canary chip has retro lavendar and purple spots. I am really liking the retro colors I used on my chips. And blurple is really rich and vibrant. I think you should consider swapping out the purple spot on your chip above and going with blurple.

I have blurple on my $25. I'm trying not to repeat colors too often.

Yep, I get it...I didn't want to repeat any colors in my set.

 

[bigblind]

great chips

 

[Rieguy]

I already said elsewhere that the hundo is fantastic, but I still can't get over it. The set is such a wonderful tribute and the inlay is so damn clean and classy. Great work on a phenomenal set!

 

[TheChipVault]

The 25c, 1, 5 and 100 appear to have the same inlay design and the $20 is the only one that is different. I like it but can you share your design thoughts.

Yep, here are my thoughts (the faded background pic is almost a throwaway and could be anything as the predominant feature of the inlays are the large red denoms):

I'm a huge fan of your set!
