Got some of these a while ago and didn't have time to post.
Thanks @AK Chip for the HHRs. These will make a great mill/label cash set. I have some spotted blacks to use as 20s too but not sure with the dark blues...

Thanks @ReallyGoodUsername for the singles, especially the Fitz to add to my set and the Cache Creek (willing to buy any amount of these ).

Thanks @Tommy for the buttons.
Pictures don't do these justice. My god they are beautiful and yuge! (And thick)

I see you holding the case with the door open... I assume this is because when you open the door, the case tilts.

Try some museum putty on the bottom corners. Worked like a charm for me.

Thank you @WedgeRock

Just got home from work. Had this waiting for me. Cant wait to get it in use. Time for me to sleep! 15 hr nightshift

That Cache Creek $1 is a stunner!

iPhone, decent lighting, uploading via 3rd party instead of direct to forum which kills the colors of photos for some reason

Lighting, angles, any camera phone made after 2008, and a nice backdrop. Order of importance for a good shot imo

What do u mean ”uploading via 3rd party”?

This kills me, and actually one reason I usually don’t bother taking good photos. What are you using?

What he's indicating is that he uploads to IMGUR first then links it on the forum, preserving the image quality rather. Letting the forum upload the image right away affects the image quality/colors.

So you are just embedding your imgur posts?

 

[madforpancakes]

So you are just embedding your imgur posts?

You have to use BBCode and the [ IMG ] tag to get then to show up nicely in a post.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Yup. An extra step but I promise you it makes all the difference in the world. I use the [ img ] tags to enclose the link

And you know this already, but of course you have to start with a good photo though lol

Just curious because I would love to try to upload better pictures here, will these pictures get lost if something happened to imgur or they restructure their sharing capacity like that other image hosting site? Was it photobucket? And then all the images are now lost forever?

Sorry if a stupid question, I have never used a photo sharing site before.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

They aren’t like photobucket. No account needed

Thanks. Been using Imgur for years for Reddit. Uploads are always good there.

These are murdered shaped inlay chips?? please do tell how hard it was to take out the old labels. I've been very curious about this!

@RichMahogany did the dirty work I can’t get myself to murder non live chips so for the other OCC I had, I went for unlaminated labels and I think they look great too!

 

[Marius L]

Interesting. The overlabels look good as well, but I really am a sucker for full inlay replacement. I see your point for old and rare chips though, but at the same time those OCC telephone numbers pretty much deserve to be ripped out, lol. @RichMahogany maybe you can chime in on how annoying the process was?

Lol so long story short, @Boother36 let me tag along for his Spenettis order and I got a couple of dig chips as I thought they were cool and the dirt and grim just added to the story.....

Well a few days after he received them he texts me telling me he put them in the ultrasonic and they looked great all cleaned up.

Way to get me buddy!

Shout-out to @gopherblue for the extra rack of AS $5s to add to my set and for the two surprise goodies.
