Certainly looks odd. They weren't in place during the pressing that added the hat/cane markings and cross-hatching.... unless they're made of some superhard or heat-resistant material.Those edge spots were added after the chip was pressed....

I bet they put the denom on the sideIdk I think it's neat. Not sure if I'd like it on a casino chip but I'm sure someone here could think of some cool stuff to put there whether alphanumeric or some kind of symbol/design
yeah that's what they typically do but I'm sure you can customize it to some extentI bet they put the denom on the side
Get some customized and I will get some from youyeah that's what they typically do but I'm sure you can customize it to some extent
I'm in on this NAGBGet some customized and I will get some from you

Wishing everyone a safe weekend!
@PrOnAddict Stephan is an awesome member of this site. Such a generous guy who goes above and beyond. He did something Similar for me @BarrieJ3 . I’m just waiting for my set to be produced so I can pay him back.Ummm, what's this? I don't have any packages coming in, and this sure isn't small!

I was super careful in opening it, because I was going to get a picture of how well packaged it was, but alas was so intrigued I forgot the midway picture.
I opened the package, and realized that I had received my first PCF letter! And damn if I wasn't absolutely beyond blown away. I suck at effort and have beyond no time, so my love language for my wife and all of you jackwagons is typically finding and buying stuff for people. I'm not good at the packaging, at the gestures, and all that, but it is my absolute favorite to receive!
Stephan (@PrOnAddict) took the time to put this together. And not just with chips, and not just a typed explanation, but there was even something for my kids (and I kid you not, they fricken loved it and immediately ran off to go do their thing).
Here are the contents of this mystery package, minus the personal stuff:

Some interesting things! It was pretty much an entire box of things I would have snap bought. Literally stunned and excited. I'll just do spoilers so I don't take up too much room for those that don't care.
It's a spoiler so I can cuss? How fucking awesome is this? I've tried and been meaning to try again to get some EU chipping stuff, but the market isn't really the same, and there's not just a line of people constantly buying and selling. Love the DBs, and I really dug the Macau plastics. There's a lot of plastic/ceramic/clay/etc. of various WSP and such chips, got two more to add to that display. Oh I forgot to add, there's even individual chip stands and whatnot, of which I had 0, so yeah awesome on top of awesome.

I know, shitty pictures, but again no time. You know I need every custom sample thats been done, and I just got a bunch I wouldn't otherwise have! This is a quick look at some of my favorites that came in. Dig the hotstamps, especially The Golden Mortar, stoked to have the BCC Monterey Clubs (I think I was legitimately actively looking for those), and love having Euro specific customs.

Anyways, apology for the long post, but this really deserved some love. It's great when you get a package that even makes your wife go wow, that's really awesome. Stephan, in the US we have a saying, Karma's a b**tch. I'm looking forward to boxing up this last purchase for you, there's definitely going to be a solid surprise or two!
Impressive collection!BIG mail *week* ... I will call the theme of this week... “Sample Sets”

Really like these dealer buttonsAnother great mail day! Received a couple packages including one from my US service clearing out my box. Trying to figure out what is from whom to thank the right people since some of this has been there a while! Thanks @AWenger and @Eloe2000 for the times I know were from you!
One of the Jack GO barrels is for @Jeevansluck. So it's a shared mail day.
