Low denoms like 25 and 100 I would expect about $50/chip for those. If you got a 5k chip out, that would have to be over $100. Just a guess.

A 5k chip would probably go for at least $400-500+ at auction

A sample set of Indian Warrior Chief chips arrived from @horseshoez today and they are pretty awesome. The colors are vibrant and they're in great shape.

I got these because I liked the colors and thought they were kind of a neat tribute, but after reading a thread where someone expressed their disgust at the cultural insensitivity of them I realized that they were polarizing. What are your thoughts, are these chips in bad taste?

I think the portraits honor those Indian Chiefs and their tribes. They are not caricatures. they are actual portraits, done in the same fashion as the presidents set and the generals set. If they inspire collectors to research those individuals that is another plus. I’m glad these exist.

I was given a pleasant surprise yesterday when both of these packages showed up on the same day, but it looks like one of them was given slightly rougher treatment on its journey. Thankfully, there were no casualties.

Thank you to @jpietrella for the gold solids and to @chicubs1988 for the lilac and white solids! The gold chips will definitely require some cleaning, but you MIGHT be able to spy the one barrel that I test cleaned and edge oiled hidden among the rest. Just maybe.

Still need to carry this home from the LPO before I can snap some pictures but glad to finally get this package from @Bobb59 that took its sweet time coming over from France and getting trapped in the signature required to missed delivery cycle.

Yes. At least until enough people figure that out and they start popping up on eBay.

I like it visually, but how practical is it? I would imagine chips getting "lost" on there quite easily?

I thought so too after receiving the felt. But its not bad at all, never had cards or chips go missing maybe you can see it on this pic, but have to take more action shots

I really like that inlay design. I've been playing around with doing something similar with the mid-century atomic starburst design.
