Welcome to the club!
By any chance does anyone know if these Taj chips inspired the Rounders $100. I just rewatched Rounders and given the prominence of the Taj and the Taj $100 chips in the movie I was curious about this.

Huh. So, were hologram house-mold hundos a common thing at one point?
I'm looking for a Bally's like that (to match my unpressed specimen). I read a chipboard thread about some Showboat hundos with a design very similar to the Bally's and the Taj above, but without the hologram.
I found a few other examples like I'm talking about - star-shaped inlays on a oval-denomination house mold with bear-claw spots, but again without the hologram:
Seems like some chip styles are "fashionable" at some point, maybe because Paulson salespeople find it easy to recommend particular designs to all their customers?

During a period of time New Jersey mandated house molds and consistent spot patterns in addition to base colors. The bear claw pattern on a black base house mold was mandated for all AC chips. I have not noticed any other AC hundos with hologram inlays. I believe even the Bally’s hundo was a prototype and not in play but I am not certain.
I haven’t checked all of the hundos, but I am very close to having collected all AC house mold 1, 2.50s, and 5s and will begin the 25s soon. https://www.all-chips.com/casinos?LocationID=2
Different Bally’s hologram from the recent unpressed eBay find. Also a Bally’s Grand (different casino) and some others chips:
Old photos of AC house molds with mandated house molds, base colors, and spot patterns:

Thanks for the excellent information! Worth noting that the unpressed chip I have is from Bally's Las Vegas, not Atlantic City. But of course, it would make sense for a casino chain to use the same or similar designs across all their properties, whether NJ or NV.

Ah. Actually because of the pattern and mold and color I actually just assumed it was AC and didn’t even notice the Vegas.

Light mail day. A few singles from feebay.
Still need a few more of CdM, Horseshoe Gardena or Nob Hill showboat grays to complete my rack!

Who made those T mold chips? They're pretty cool.
BCC. Cool mold, and they had such a good color palette.
First rush of IOC chips have come in. Few more packages enroute. Also working on a new mixed set, don't want to show the mail pr0n for it, would rather show when done!

Very nice. Quality chips are meant to be played, just as sports cars are meant to be driven.

It's sick to think that I was a chipper back when BCC was around, and back when these were created and produced. I wasn't in the spot to jump on them then - I was still buying china clays back then - but I'll pay the price to get them in my hands now. If I'd had them then they'd be worn to a pulp by now, and I'm happy to get them started down that path
