Damn, my last few post in this thread have all been gifts.... you guys are so freaking amazing! We love you PCF Family!

Ben Book Warning!! YEE BE Warned!!

So today a trully amazing gift, one of my chipping brothers goes way too far above and beyond on this one. No mystery we have been hunting the Silver Sevens $2 chips for over a year now and have come up with 7... after the recent auction I was contacted by my brother @BSteck aka Brian who informed me that he bid and won just for me as a Thank You... but the thing is I that owe you big time brother for all the mock up advice and time you have put into helping Brie and I along our chipping journey! NOT the other way around! Lol

Today these came to their forever home.

No mystery that 414 is my absolute favorite spot pattern, and IMO this is one of the very best 414 combos ever made!

So in honor of Brian who originally suggested using them as our $100 in the JW set... I have decided to kick out the Purples in honor of Brian! You win this time buddy! Lol

I w!s going for the peach $500 with this,

I love the Purple as a $100 here but nothing we can do can make the edge spots opposing and match the rest of the set. Left to right $.10/$.50/$1/$5/$20/$100/$500... also we trully have zero use for a $500 chip! Lol

Brian originally suggested the Scandias as a $10 chip, but I love is as the dime so this will be the line up

Unfortunately even with a beautiful line up it still leaves an OCD Virgo with a complex

13 chips short of the full rack! So may still be on the hunt for more peach! Lol it never ends! Or 11 short if I ever find more white $20s and make a mixed barrel. But they are equally as difficult if not worse to find!

Possible consolation prize may be finding more purples and using them as quarters though... still obsessed with that chip

And the majority of the cash games we play are $.25/$.50... so it is an option.

Anyways Brian far too kind my friend and seriously Thank You and we owe you big time! Until then may you be absolutely showered in awesome chipping Karma!

Also thank you @casinochipper22 for shipping direct on these and saving Brain a few $$$, fantastic packaging as always Sir.

Awesome way to start the weekend!!
Stunning chips, and I love reading your books Ben.

If you were going to use the purples in this set, I think they should be your lowest denomination, because - chip progression. Since they only have one color edge spots. It's easily explainable then.

Absolutely was taken into account. I love the Purple as the $100 but it would always be that one thing you would want to change, man if two of those spots were yellow it would be absolutely epic. Definitely do not have enough purples to make a frac now, but you never know maybe one day. I love that chip so eventually it will have a home in one of our line ups.

Also have 2 racks of blue on blue matching spots 414s

But we may have other plans for them, it was boring as a quarter here anyways, a rack of purples would be sweet, but not getting my Hope's up. They have gone up significantly in price... probably just stick with the epic $.10/$.50 combo for $.10/$.20 - $40 buy in games for the time being.
 
Nice little pickups at Casinorama here in Vegas. Saw lots of nice chips. Both expensive and cheap, was able to get the goods that I wanted and had a good time with the people I spoke with for a few hours while I was there. I was also able to find some stuff for people on here so very happy about that. Enjoy ;)

Careful looking at the Ash St. Sir... they have magical powers and draw you in! One of my favorite chips ever made! Personal because I am obsessed with green $1s and "Ventura Highway" by America is my favorite song.

Congratulations, beautiful chips!
