What I was expecting to receive through the mail from an eBay purchase today:

What I actually received:
View attachment 815766

I'm assuming that some thieving bastard at Royal Mail took a chance and hit the jackpot on this occasion!

Envelope was open, with no signature on the tracking (which still shows the package to be just "accepted" at the seller's local Post Office); which makes sense as nobody was actually home to sign for it today anyway.

If peeps – especially UK ones – could keep a look out for this on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree etc., that would be much appreciated.

I imagine I'll get my money back with eBay, but still a huge downer — sigh!

Jesus, that really sucks man. Sorry to hear that

That Sands $20!! I would love to have one of those in really nice condition. I have a dig version that has lost most of the inlay color and is banged up around the edges. Plus, a few other denoms.

 

[FDLmold]

That Holiday $1 is in super nice shape. Great chip!

 

[Marius L]

Some more chips from outside of pcf. Apparently murdering was a thing before PCFers started with it, but lets say it wasn't entirely perfected lol.

 

[Jeevansluck]

Little pick up pr0n... decided to add a few CDI98s to the collection...

Just brought them home...I really dig how the $1 plays with the $5. Sure do regret selling a small hoard of VLV $1s back about a year ago, would have served my knife well in this scenario. Haah! We are a sum of decisions in this game, aren't we?

Pr0n..

Dead mint and still chalky $25s and hundos...

happy black friday y'all

 

[HaRDHouSeiNC]

Those aRe pretty nice!

The old brighter SCV flavor
Or likely a newer run I’m in doubt those are leaded

Pretty sure that means they're just worth more these days, right? Still...

 

[MilouPilou1]

Another cool dealer to the pile!
Thanks @JP1984

Lol definitely leaded

 

[HaRDHouSeiNC]

Lol definitely leaded

I think I weighed them in at like 9g i was very on the fence
LCV was 10+

Oh yeah you are correct they are on the lighter side for sure, but have you ever weighed Horseshoe Club Reno 5s? lol

Lead doesn’t necessarily seem to = weight. Some unleaded regular pink chips are heavier than some leaded chips. Green is often light too. So odd.

Want more $1 Cincinnati?

nah i have no use for them, just wanted to see how they looked thats why i only bought 60.

Yep. True story. Weigh up some of the HSI $1a chips and many hit the 10g mark. No lead in those.

Then while I owned my ASTs, I never found a chip heavier than 9-9.5g. I prefer the weighty feel of heavier chips, so I disliked this about them.

I've definitely noticed some white chips are heavy AF for non-leaded.

What I do know, is my Empress Joliet pri $100s are my heavyweight hitting Paulsons. There isn't a chip weighing less than 11.3g in the barrel. LOVE IT!

What I do know, is my Empress Joliet sec $100s are my heavyweight hitting Paulsons. There isn't a chip weighing less than 11.3g in the barrel. LOVE IT!

All my solid leaded RHC's hit 11g (or very close)...more variance in leaded THC

But heavy or not...weight doesn't replace the feeling of leaded chips
